change SID while System copy

[Former Member]

Hi

I am using windows 2003 server / SQL 2005.

During the System Copy it is possible to change the SAPSID

I need to change my PRD to DEV. Is it possible ?

Hi Lee,

When you start the 'System Copy' process, thru 'SAPInst.exe'. In the next screens you will need to fill in the following details :-

1) Path for ABAP/Java Component DVD.

2) JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Archive

3) The Kernl DVD path

4) Path where the export of source system is stored.

5) System Id :- <new SID> give new SID here

6) SQL Server Instances:- Which in this case is <db host>.

7) Common Password for all users in this SAP system.

Hope this info helps you,

With regards,

Rajesh.

Hi,

As far as I know you need to change the SID during the system copy but after system copy I think its is not possible.
