Delete SAP Client at OS Level

Posted by ITsiti — July 11, 2011 in SAP SECURITY — 1 Comment

1. Login to OS level as <SID>adm and change directory to:

# cd /usr/sap/trans/bin

2. Create a control file via VI editor with the following input

clientremove
client = <CLIENT-NUMBER>
select *

Note:
Replace <CLIENT-NUMBER> with your SAP system client number. Save the file!

3. Execute below command.

# R3trans –w <LOG-FILENAME> -u 1 <CONTROL-FILENAME>

Example:

# R3trans -w deleteclient500.log -u 1 deleteclient500.ctl

4. Monitor the progress of the client deletion.

# tail -f deleteclient500.log

Hi,
This is a very good method to Delete client at OS Level.
In some or most regular sites SAP Basis Consultant may not have exclusive OS level access.
Then SAP Client delete tcode has to use. Please upload the SAP recommended client delete process and possible post process and preparation process of client delete.
Require help please feel free to contact.
