how to maintain the hosts file for 2 diff. SID's

[Former Member]

Dear All

I have installed SRM 7 (Abap Stack) + SAP Netweaver PORTAL (java stack) as MCOD on the same system. Both have differnt SID (srm and por).

How must the IP addresses being assigned to the SID. In hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc). There are two SID's and I need two differnt IP adresses. How must the entries look like:

The computername is called "mel"

hosts file:

192.168.0.17     srm

??????             por

I also need a full qualified domain name for portal configuration. Please suggest or help me on this issue.

Regards

Holger

The hosts file does not need to have SAP SIDs .

The hosts file should contain the IP address and hostname mapping .

192.168.0.17  mel  mel.<fully qualified domain name>

Please maintain the hosts file the way I mentioned and this should be good enough .

Your SAP systems will be differentiated by the SID and Instance numbers which should not be repeated within a host.

Ratnajit thx.

do you mean like:

192.168.0.17   mel  mel.epc.com

or just only fully qualified domain name

192.168.0.17    mel.epc.com
