If you want to change your installed SAP system’s “Instance Number” then you can follow the following steps…
For an example , our installed SAP system’s instance number is 00 and we want to change it to 01 ;
- STOP SAP system from SAPMMC window
– STOP Database
– STOP SAP Service
– Delete SID from SAPMMC window
– Change DVEBMGS00 to DVEBMGS01
– Change profile name SID_DVEBMGS00_servername to SID_DVEBMGS01_servername
– Find and Replace SID_DVEBMGS00_servername to SID_DVEBMGS01_servername in all profile files
– Change SAPSYSTEM=00 to SAPSYSTEM=01 in Instance Profile
– Change INSTANCE_NAME=DVEBMGS00 to INSTANCE_NAME=DVEBMGS01 in Instance Profile
– Change sapmsSID 3600/tcp to 3601/tcp in services file
- Go to under SAP Executables directory
