Summary :
To facilitate data transfer between two SAP R/3 systems, SAP notes provide guidance on employing either system copy or client transport methods. System copies can be homogeneous, retaining the OS and database, or heterogeneous, changing one or both. Heterogeneous copies require the OS/DB migration service and the use of R3load. Homogeneous copies may utilize R3copy for specific databases or backup/restore procedures under strict compatibility conditions. Alternative methods like client transport are advised for non-production movements, ensuring change documents remain unaffected. Detailed documentation and prepurchase of relevant installation packages are essential for successful implementation.
