How to Lock or Unlock a client In sap

Updated May 18, 2018

To lock or unlock a client in R/3 System, run the following function modules in transaction SE37

1. SSCR_LOCK_CLIENT ( to lock the client)
2. SSCR_UNLOCK_CLIENT (to unlock the client)

Run these functions with a client input which is to be locked/unlocked. This function set flag '' Client is locked temporarily for client copy" in client maintenance menu.The client will be available for users DDIC and SAP*. If any other user tries to login, system gives message that ' Client locked temporarily'.

To Unlock the client

1. Run transaction SE37
2. Enter the function module as SSCR_UNLOCK_CLIENT
3. press F8 or test run (single run).
4. Specify the client and execute(F8).

Follow similar procedure for locking the client

To Lock the client

There is no direct tcode to lock a client. the easiest way to Lock a client is
1. Run Tcode SE37
2. Type function module name SCCR_LOCK_CLIENT
3. Enter the Client No.
4. Execute the function module.

You can lock the system with "tp locksys " and unlock it with "tp unlocksys ". You can also stop the service, but then no one can login including yourself.

Locking/unlocking the entire system, an admin can use the following commands:
1. tp locksys <SID> pf=<transport profile>
2. tp unlocksys <SID> pf=<transport profile>

This can also be done through SCC4 --> check flag "Locked due to client copy" under "Restrictions"

How would one determine the population of instances in which the client was unlocked during a specified period? I am wondering if there is a log of this unlocking.

Hi,
You have to login in the client which you want to lock and then
1. Run transaction SE37
2. Enter the function module as SSCR_UNLOCK_CLIENT
3. press F8 or test run (single run).

To lock a client means suspend the client temporarily. This can be done using transaction SCC4 as below:

1) Run transaction SCC4.
2) Step 1 will display T000 table. Remove the client entry from the table (e.g 003) and then save.

This will suspend the client temporarily. Virtually the client will not exist. But physically it will be there.

To again activate the client, simply go to transaction SCC4 and add the client no. (e.g 003). Client will again be active.

There are certain ways to lock a client, (locking from customizing depending what is the role of the client) is it on productive mode? customizing? test?

Also a user with enough basis role could lock/unlock the client. You only need the authorization object to do so, or authorization to access SCC4, with all activities required to view, change status of the client.
