New Tools

Client and Table Size Calculation SCC_CLIENT_SIZE Determines the size of a client - due to HANA compression, this is only an approximation if more than one client is filled. The tool also supports selective size determination for specified tables. Cross-Client Comparison SCC_COMP_LOCAL Compares two clients within the same system. Cross-System Comparison SCC_COMP_REMOTE Compares two clients in different systems using an RFC connection.

Changes and Improvements The Client Copy Tool contains the following improvements: Improved performance: Up to 10 times faster than before using native HANA capabilities. The Remote Client Copy tool is up to 5 times faster than before. Improved security and reduced manual effort: User SAP* is no longer needed to perform client copies so that system does not need to be restarted. Task lists are available for automation. Improved stability: The Client Copy application exits now run in isolated environments. Failed exits and tables are stored in the log. Improved log: The Client Copy log has been transformed from a file-based to a table-based UI with additional information and better persistence. The tool offers multiple tabs for different sections of the log, such as Header Data, Deleted & Copied Tables, Application Exit Messages and Runtime Measurements. For more information click here
