SID

[Former Member]

What is SID Means? (I know it is System Identification Number), whats the use of SID? who will define that?

[Former Member]

It is decided by you when you carry out the installation.

The use of it is simply to differientiate the different system within

a landscape.

You can use any SID you want, using 3 characters.

It is not advisable to have two system ids within the same landscape

in order to avoid mistakes in transports etc.

For Example a very typical set up is

DEV (standing for the development system)

QAS (standing for the quality assurance system)

PRD (standing for the productive system)

You will find a lot of documentation in help.sap.com about how to set it up.

hope it helps
