Learnings from Remote Client Copy

1. Take offline backup just before the activity and switch off the archive logs otherwise, they will pile up and fill up the filesystem.
2. Execute the Test run before actual activity but it may not give practical results, in our scenario test run gave 2 hours but actually it took 12 hours for the copy to complete.
3. Lock users both in Target System and Source System, otherwise inconsistencies specially in number ranges may occur.
4. Take offline backup after Copy and don't forget to switch on archive logs before releasing the sytem for use.
