What is Client in SAP

A client is organizational and legal entity in the SAP system. All the business management data is protected
here because other clients can not access them. The main objective of the client is to keep the data isolated.
The data in a client can be only visible within that client; it can not be displayed or changed from another
client. In a physical SAP system there can be multiple clients

SAP R3 comes with 3 inbuilt standard client,

SAP Clients
Client 000 Client 000 is a special client in SAP since it has client independent settings. Client 000 in SAP
R/3 comes with a simple organizational structure. It is a sort of test company. Client 000 contains all
standard configurations, parameters, standard transactions, etc that are normally used in the SAP R/3
business environment.
Client 001 Client 001 is a copy of client 000. Client 001 also includes a test company. Client 001 can be
customized to prepare it to move it into the production environment. However, once client 001 is customized,
it does not behave like client 000.
Client 066 Client 066 is used to perform Early Watch service for customer systems. One important thing
to remember is that during SAP R/3 implementation, once SAP is installed, the first thing to be done is copy
a standard client included in SAP R/3 package. With the help of this, SAP users can start using SAP for
creating tests, training, or even start using it for customization.

Within one SAP instance, a number of Clients can be created. No need to install separate softwares for
each and every customer.It provides isolation ,one client cannot see the data of other client.

 What is the main difference between remote client copy and client export in SAP

Remote Client copy :-

This is one step process
RFC connection is required.
CC can be used with multiple parallel processes
Remote CC is better if you have small data to be copied.
Remote CC might be little bit slower than the export due to its network constraints.
Need to check Network, Database ( generation of archive logs, table space usage )
through out the CC.

Export-Import :-
This is 3 step process ( export- import-post processing).
RFC connection is not required between systems.
Multiple parallel processes can not be used.
Export-import is generally used for copying larger amount of data.
Export-import is relatively faster than the remote CC.
Need to check DB constraints at the import process.
