Definition

The database ID <DBSID> is the identifier for the database instance.


Dependencies

If you want to install a new database instance:


Enter the database ID <DBSID> for the database instance to be created:
o The ID must be unique throughout your organization.
o It can be different from the SAP system ID <SAPSID> and must consist of
exactly three alphanumeric characters.
o Only uppercase letters are allowed.
o The first character must be a letter (not a digit).
o The following IDs are reserved and cannot be used:
ADD ALL AND ANY ASC AUX COM CON DBA END EPS FOR GID
IBM INT KEY LOG LPT MON NIX NOT NUL OFF OMS PRN RAW ROW
SAP SET SGA SHG SID SQL SYS TMP UID USR VAR
Choose your <DBSID> carefully. Renaming is complicated and requires you to reinstall the SAP system.

If you want to use an existing database instance:


Enter the <DBSID> of the existing database instance to which you want to add the SAP
system.

If you want to uninstall an existing database instance:


Enter the <DBSID> of the existing database instance that you want to uninstall.

Definition
The SAP system ID <SAPSID> is the identifier for the SAP system.
Use

If you install a new SAP system, enter the SAP system ID <SAPSID> for this system.
If you install the instances of this system on more than one host, make sure that you
assign the same <SAPSID> to all these instances. The identifier for the database
instance - the database ID <DBSID> - can be different from the <SAPSID>.

If you add instances to an existing SAP system - for example, if you install additional
application server instance(s) for an existing SAP system - enter the <SAPSID> of the
existing SAP system.

If you uninstall an SAP system, enter the SAP system ID <SAPSID> of the SAP system
you want to uninstall.

Dependencies
Choose your <SAPSID> carefully. Renaming is complicated and requires you to re-install the
SAP system.

The ID must be unique throughout your organization and consistent throughout your SAP
system installation landscape.
If you want to install the Java Add-In for an existing ABAP system or a dialog instance,
make sure that no gateway instance with the same SAP System ID <SAPSID> exists in
your SAP system landscape.

The ID must consist of exactly three alphanumeric characters.

Only uppercase letters are allowed.

The first character must be a letter (not a digit).

The following IDs are reserved and cannot be used:


ADD ALL AND ANY ASC AUX COM CON DBA END EPS FOR GID IBM INT
KEY LOG LPT MON NIX NOT NUL OFF OMS PRN RAW ROW SAP SET SGA
SHG SID SQL SYS TMP UID USR VAR.

Important Information
Your system has been checked for compliance with the prerequisites.

If a condition is not met by your system, we strongly recommend that you fix this before
starting the installation.

In rare cases, you may decide to run the installation despite of conditions that do not hold.
The installation will not immediately prevent you from doing this, but make sure that you
know what you are doing.
