Hi Ananda,

Two system landscape is supported by SAP but not recommended. Short answer is yes.

Some setups do have 2 system landscapes, where their DEVELOPMENT Server is their Quality Server too, they generally have seperate clients for Dev and QA within the same SAP instance, however it is not recommended by SAP.

And frankly other than low cost there is no real advantage, infact the price paid due to errors that may creep in the production due to such setups is higher than the price to setup DEV and QA seperately.

So Technically yes you can have the 2 together , however it is not recommended.

So to have 2 system landscapes in one instance 2 SDM are required.If yes please suggest how to do it ?

Hi Ananda,

Well when you talk about SDM you are talking about Java stack. My previous comments were meant for ABAP stack where there is concept of "client" which makes it possible to have a QA and DEV on the same system. But as long as your persistent data is saved in ABAP stack you can use the same concept in Java stack also.

The BIG limitation of this approach is that Program's (Code) is client independent, it is not possible to differentiate a program's version in DEV and QA because it is always the same.
