HI
I was changing my SAP System SID and i thought it will be useful to share the used procedure which is extracted from System Rename guide and Available SAP NOTES .
I Hope my first blog will be on expected Level at least for beginners .
This Blog explains how to rename an SAP system using software provisioning manager 1.0.Which is the successor of the product- and release-specific delivery of provisioning tools, such as SAPinst and part of the Software Logistics Toolset . for more information check SAP NOTE 1680045
It is valid for SAP systems based on SAP NetWeaver releases described on the following SAP NOTE 1619720 - System Rename for SAP Systems based on SAP NetWeaver
Available on SAP Service Marketplace at:
http://service.sap.com/sltoolset -> Software Logistics Toolset 1.0 -> Software Provisioning Manager.
by the way it is used also for
1- Installation, copy, and transformation for products based on SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and AS Java
2- dual-stack split
3- System Rename
4- Frontend Installation and Distribution
You can rename the following SAP systems:
Systems installed by using the standard SAP tools.
Systems copied by using classical system copy (R3load/Jload or DB-specific procedure).
Systems created by using backup or restore with procedures offered by Microsoft Windows
Systems created by using SAP NetWeaver Landscape Virtualization management
Cloned systems (virtual to virtual, virtual to physical, or physical to virtual)
In the following case i am trying to change the SAP System SID , DB SID , and NR for the Source System
which is based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0x and Oracle DB and windows Server 2008 OS
SAP System SID = S6C
DB SID = S6C
Nr= 00
to New SID the Target System
SAP System SID = T11
DB SID = T11
Nr= 11
Constraints:
Rename can be performed on primary application server instances – additional application server instances have to be reinstalled
according to your OS download Software Provisioning Manager1.0 Package from SAP Service Marketplace at:
http://service.sap.com/sltoolset -> 1.0 -> Software Provisioning Manager
Log on to your SAP system
Extract the SAR file
Running the Software Provisioning Manager
On the Welcome screen, choose the following:System Rename ==> central System ==> SAP system Rename
Follow the instructions in the input screens AS shown in the following Step
Select SAP System Rename
And Click Next
Enter the Required Parameter for source system (SID) and target System (NEW SID, Global Host and Installation Drive) And Click Next
SAP Global Host is giving by default
If you Plane to use Virtual Host Name Make sure that the the virtual host name is bound to local network interface
For the Target Instance Number
Do not use the following numbers:
43 - used by MSCS "in case you are using MSCS"
89 - used by Windows Terminal Server
Click Next
Enter the Source SID and Target SID and Host Name For the Database and New Password For Oracle Schema
Recommendation
Enter exactly the central instance number and SID that you have entered during the central instance installation.
If you choose different domain you have to follow the procedure of Changing Windows Domain in System Rename guide
Click next
the above step will be required in case you did not perform Maintaining Users and Groups Step
Enter the Password for the following OS user (<SID>ADM ,SAPService <SID>)
Click Next
if you like to change the ORACLE HOME deselect the checkbox of rename Oracle Software
Click next
