How To Fix GT272 - Table copied only to client 000

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GT - Database utilities

• Message number: 272

• Message text: Table copied only to client 000

What causes this issue?

The table became client-dependent. Since the table is very large
(larger than 50 MB), the table data is not copied to all the clients of
the system. Instead, the data should be copied to all the clients
marked as in production. However, there are no productive clients in
this system.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

The table data is only copied to client 000.

How to fix this error?

If you want the table data to be available in other clients, you have
to copy the data to the required clients (e.g. after the upgrade). To
do this, insert the table as object LIMU TABU in a transport request in
a client in which the data exists and copy this transport request to
the clients where you want the data using Transaction SCC1.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT272 - Table copied only to client 000 ?

  The SAP error message GT272 ("Table copied only to client 000") typically occurs when you are trying to copy a table or data from one client to another in an SAP system, but the operation is restricted to client 000 (the master client). This is a common scenario when working with client-specific data in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Client-Specific Data: The table you are trying to copy is client-specific, meaning it is designed to hold data that is unique to a particular client in the SAP system.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: The transport layer may restrict certain operations to ensure data integrity and consistency across clients.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to allow certain tables to be copied only to client 000 for security or data integrity reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Attributes: Verify the attributes of the table you are trying to copy. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the table is marked as client-specific.
  Use Client 000: If the table is only meant to be copied to client 000, you may need to perform your operations there. After making the necessary changes in client 000, you can then transport the changes to other clients.
  Transport Request: If you need the data in another client, consider creating a transport request that includes the changes made in client 000 and then import that transport request into the target client.
  Custom Development: If you need to copy data to other clients frequently, consider developing a custom program or using existing tools that can handle client-specific data more flexibly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client Concept in SAP: Understand the client concept in SAP, which allows multiple clients to exist within a single SAP system instance, each with its own set of data.
  Data Transport: Familiarize yourself with the transport management system (TMS) in SAP, which is used to move changes between different clients.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance or updates related to the GT272 error message, as there may be patches or recommendations from SAP.
