1) Reset user SAP* on the target system and create an RFC connection from the target to source system using a system or communication user with full authorizations.
2) Run pre-step reports and tasks such as adjusting memory parameters, excluding tables, and suspending background jobs.
3) Execute the remote client copy by creating a client, logging on, and scheduling the copy.
4) After completion, run post-step tasks like consistency checks, post-installation processing, and resuming background jobs.
