Delete a SAP client at operating system level
In order to delete a client at operation system level
login to the OS with user SIDadm
– Navigate to /usr/sap/trans/bin directory
– Create a file with the following
clientremove
client=812
select *
Save the file with the naming convention
delete_<SID>_<clntno>.ctl
So if the systen ID is SID = ZZZ and CLIENT = 812 the filename will be delete_ZZZ_812.ctl
Then run the operation via R3TRANS command
R3trans -w delete_<SID>_clntno.log delete_<SID>_<clntno>.ctl
R3trans -w delete_ZZZ_812.log delete_ZZZ_812.ctl
you can also monitor the delete with the TAIL command
tail -f delete_ZZZ_812.log
