Remote Client Copy
A client copy performed between two different systems using an RFC connection is referred
to as a remote client copy. When performing a remote client copy, an RFC connection for
the source system must be set up between the source and target system client. Unlike a local
client copy, a remote client copy performs a repository comparison as a prerequisite for the
copy. If there are any data dictionary differences between the source and target system cli-
ent, they have to be rectified before a successful completion of the remote client copy can
take place. Data dictionary changes, such as adding a field to a table, can be transported
from the source system to the target system to rectify the repository differences. SAP also
