Specifically, it means that the target client you are trying to use is the same as the source client.

  Cause:
  
  You are trying to perform a client copy or transport operation where the source and target clients are the same.
  The operation you are attempting does not make sense in the context of client management, as it would not result in any changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Client Numbers: Ensure that you are specifying different client numbers for the source and target clients. The source client should be the one from which you want to copy data, and the target client should be the one where you want to copy the data to.
  
  
  Correct the Operation: If you intended to copy data from one client to another, make sure to select the correct target client. If you are performing a transport, ensure that the transport request is directed to the correct target system or client.
  
  
  Review Client Copy Settings: If you are performing a client copy, review the settings in the client copy transaction (e.g., SCCL for local client copy or SCC9 for remote client copy) to ensure that the source and target clients are correctly specified.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process, refer to SAP documentation or guides related to client copy and transport management for detailed instructions.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client Management in SAP: Understanding how clients work in SAP is crucial. Each client is a separate environment within the SAP system, and operations like client copy and transport are designed to move data between these environments.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to client management, such as SCCL (Local Client Copy), SCC9 (Remote Client Copy), and STMS (Transport Management System).
