SAP Shell Imaging: a production-configured shell, without the data

SAP shell imaging copies a source system's configuration: the same setup as production, without the transactional or master data.

Dev, sandbox & quality environments

The problem

A full system copy is more than most environments need

A dev, sandbox, or quality environment often needs production's configuration, not its transactional and master data.

A full system copy delivers both anyway: a longer setup, a bigger footprint, and sensitive data sitting where it isn't needed.
