Client deletion procedure

Client is a business unit in SAP system. we can see three standard clients which usually comes with the installation of SAP system. 000,001 and 066

066 is early watch client and now a days it's of no use as solman is mandatory.
So in such cases, we may have to delete the clients 066 and 001.
Below is the procedure for deleting client.

Client deletion through scc5

First log within the client you'd wish to delete with username as SAP* and password as pass if you're logging into that client for the primary time.

Use transaction code SCC5 and select the check box which says Delete entry from T000 and click on start immediately... you will get the prompt if you can continue, click continue and wait till it deletes the client.

 Once the client is deleted, login to 000 Client and issue the transaction code SCC4 to see if the deleted
client is listed within the list or not... If it's unlisted then you've got successfully deleted a client.

Client deletion through R3trans

1)logon to system as SAP Admin

2)goto /user/sap/trans/bin dir

3)use standard editor to create a control file
 with ctl ext(eg. delcli.ctl) with following text
 clientremove
 client=xxx
 select*

4) run the commnd on command field
 r3trans -w delcli.log -u1delcli.ctl
