Please keep in mind that you cannot fill a client with profile data, for example, SAP_CUSV (settings and options) and expect that the application data in this client will remain old. No, they’ll just wear out. When copying, you can use copy profiles that simplify selection and combination of the objects to be copied. SAP delivers the following copy profiles in the table below. The customizing and application data is deleted in the target client before copying for all profiles except SAP_USER. This is technically unavoidable.
