Changes and Improvements
The Client Copy Tool contains the following improvements:
-
Improved performance: Up to 10 times faster than before using native HANA capabilities. The Remote Client Copy tool is up to 5 times faster than before.
-
Improved security and reduced manual effort: User SAP* is no longer needed to perform client copies so that system does not need to be restarted. Task lists are available for automation.
-
Improved stability: The Client Copy application exits now run in isolated environments. Failed exits and tables are stored in the log.
-
Improved log: The Client Copy log has been transformed from a file-based to a table-based UI with additional information and better persistence. The tool offers multiple tabs for different sections of the log, such as Header Data, Deleted & Copied Tables, Application Exit Messages and Runtime Measurements.
