Setting up multiple clients on a single SAP system

Matthew Billingham

Published: 27 Jun 2004

I have to do research (just started) on setting up multiple clients using a single SAP system. I don't have any ideas in my mind, can you please suggest me some ideas for proceeding further?
This really depends on your needs. You have three instances, (usually), to consider. Questions to look at are: Do you have more than one productive client? Are you splitting your productive instance into separate clients for different countries/company sectors? Is the customizing for each productive client the same? If not, then you need a development client for each productive client. Do you need some sandboxes, training clients? You should set up some reference clients, with data and customizing change rights restricted. You can then use these to refresh your other clients.

RingCube is positioning vDesk as "Workspace Virtualization" now, which is brilliant! If you're not familiar with RingCube, they have a software product called "vDesk" (video demo) that they've marketed as a client-based desktop virtualization solution. vDesk allows a user to boot a second instance of Windows from the base instance, kind of like a Type 2 VM -- except vDesk is not a hypervisor and the vDesk workspace is not a real VM.
