Hi,

No, You cant install with 2 different SIDs for a Single SAP Server.

Central and Database Instance SID should be same for a SAP system, hostname may be different.

It is also possible when you do distributed installation, for that u need 2 system.

System1 - Central Instance, System2 - Database Instance.

In this case hostname is different, but you have to use the same database.

Hope it helps

hi Suresh,

when you do distributed installation database server is installed on one system and install client on the other system .sap recommends to use same sid for sap and database but we can use different sids also.
