Hi,
Here i am going to provide Basics in FICO.
Landscape
In the standard SAP project there will be 3 environments(3 clients)
1. The development environment
2. the quality / assurance testing environment
3. the production environment.
The development env, is where the majority of the implementation takes place.
The Q/A env. is where all final testing is conducted prior to moving the transports to production env.( transports are the special vehicles by which the system configurations are moved from one client to other or one environment to other)
The production environment is where all day to day business activities occur.. this is the client that all end users use to perform their daily job functions.
