Client Maintenance SCC4 Options purpose - Reg.

hi fot the production we hav to choose  option 3(no changes allowed).For the customizing client we should select option 2(automatic recording).

Hi,
The customising client should have Number 2 .This will create requests for all the customising type of changes.   
The production should have option 3 .This would not allow any customising in the production client.Never keep the prod client open,always transport the requests from the dev -->QA--> Test.
The option 4 makes some type of a frozen master client which does not allow any changes in the form of customising or request transport into it.

Hi,   option

1 : whenever you make a change and u dont want the recording pop-up to come, u can use this option.. In this case, if u want to transport the objects to which u made the change, u have to manually include it in the request via SE01.   option

2: in this case, the SAP system will pop-up a small window to enter the request number... it automatically records the changes u r making   option

3: No changes allowed for any repository objects in the syste.   option 4: this settin gis usually found in sand box servers... where the data need not be transported to anywhere.... any u can do the changes u want..   Hopw this will help   thanks and Regards,
