Can we run multiple sapinst programs in parallel?

[sam_venkat]

We are planning to upgrade our EP, XI and BW simultaneously. These SIDs all reside on the same server and same OS. Is it possible to run multiple sapinst programs in parallel? I know it may require specifying separate ports for the 2nd and 3rd instance of sapinst. For example: sapinst 1 gets default ports 21212, 21213. sapinst 2 will take 21214, 21215 and sapinst 3 takes 21216 and 21217.

Has anyone attempted this sort of a thing before? Appreciate your thoughts.

Never done that before, maybe it works .. however it could run into problems when the sapinst are trying to access the same paths / files.

according to SAP AGS this is only possible for ABAP instances on one server not for any other combination e.g. abap & java
