• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/GLOBAL_METADATA030 - GMD settings were copied from template client &1 to client &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/GLOBAL_METADATA030 indicates that Global Metadata (GMD) settings were copied from a template client (client &1) to another client (client &2). This message is typically informational rather than an error, meaning it is not necessarily indicative of a problem but rather a notification of an action that has taken place.
  Cause:
  This message is generated when the Global Metadata settings, which are part of the SAP Business Suite, are copied from one client to another. This can occur during client copy operations, where settings and configurations from a source client (template) are replicated to a target client.
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Message: Since this is an informational message, you should first confirm that the client copy was intended and that the settings are correct for the target client.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If the settings copied are not as expected, you may need to review the configuration in the template client to ensure it is set up correctly before performing the copy again.
  
  
  Post-Copy Activities: After a client copy, it is often necessary to perform post-copy activities to ensure that the new client is functioning correctly. This may include:
  
  Adjusting user authorizations.
  Running specific transactions to finalize the setup.
  Verifying that all necessary data has been copied correctly.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to client copy processes and Global Metadata settings for more detailed guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client Copy Process: Understand the client copy process in SAP, including the different types of copies (e.g., local, remote) and the implications of copying metadata settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or updates regarding the Global Metadata settings and client copy processes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to client administration, such as SCCL (Client Copy) and SCC3 (Client Copy Log), to monitor and manage client copies effectively.
