Can I install two versions of NW in the same server?

[former_member706555]

I have BW installed in a server running on Netweaver 7.3. but I need to install Netweaver 7.02 to do some tests, is it possible to install this other version in the same server? or will there be conflicts after the installation of the second version?

Thanks in advance,

Luis.

Hello,

As long as do not use the same SID and instance number, you can install multiple NW systems.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

If you want to have this system only for tests maybe it would be a better solution to use virtual maschine?

HI,

sapinst detects existing instances, and makes sure that you dont use the same instance numbers => same tcp ip ports for diferent sap instances, wich would cause conflits.

so in the limit you can install any number os sap systems on the same host, given you have enought hardware resourses.

Hi,

Yes,its very much possible to install multiple instances on same server host.We have EP,R3 and BW running on one server host.

Just make sure you set proper partition and if using VM ware its even better.
