You are performing an SAP S/4HANA conversion of the development system. Which credentials do you use in which system to perform the adjustment of programs and other non-dictionary repository objects…

Question

Options

• ACredentials of a named user in client 000 of the shadow system
• BCredentials of a named user in the development client of the development system
• CCredentials of user DDIC in client 000 of the shadow system
• DCredentials of user DDIC in the development client of the development system

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  83% (25)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  10% (3)

Explanation

Option B is correct because SPAU (adjustment of non-dictionary repository objects) is performed after the technical conversion is complete, directly in the development system's development client - not in the shadow system. Named users are required (rather than DDIC) to ensure proper audit traceability and change documentation within the transport system.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A & C (shadow system): The shadow system is used for SPDD (dictionary object adjustments), which happens during the upgrade downtime phase. SPAU happens post-conversion, so the shadow system is no longer relevant.
• C & D (user DDIC): SAP best practice prohibits using DDIC for development work; named users must be used so changes are traceable and can be transported correctly.
• D: While it correctly identifies the development system and development client, using DDIC instead of a named user makes this wrong.

Memory tip: Think "DD for Dictionary = During downtime in shadow; AU for Adjust Users = After upgrade, named user." SPDD lives in the shadow/client 000; SPAU lives in your real dev client with a real named account.
