      Thanks for this.

      We are also licensed for and will be using embedded BPC for S/4HANA, which will be utilising a separate client for BW (same S/4 system) as per SAP recommendations.  Please could you provide any specific post copy steps for embedded BPC?

      The fact it requires a configured BW client complicates system refreshes somewhat and I am not sure how many other customers are out there yet (who have done a system copy anyway)

      Many thanks,

      Wonderful job, any update regarding to latest S/4HANA version?

      One more thing to be added, I just suggest:

      Adjust the RFC destinations for NWBC and WebDynpro apps according to SAP Best Practices for user experience in SAP S/4HANA -> SAP S4HANA Other App Types Deployment (MAL)
