Hi all.
Due to auditing issues, we need to test a backup recovery of a SAP system. I was thinking of installing a dedicated system for this, through "Homogeneous System Copy". I thought of installing the system with same SID, perform some Basis tests, and send to functional teams for validations.
My problem was the SID of the SAP System. Installing with same SID would be simple, and we could retest the backup recovery over and over.
I looked on the Installation guide, and..:
Make sure that your SAP system ID: Is unique throughout your organization. Do not use an existing <SAPSID> when installing a new SAP system.
What is generally done in these situations? I would not like to change the SID. Should I install it locally, or on other domain? Can I install it in the same domain, but as local installation?
Can I install it with same SID on the same domain only for test purposes, or should I follow the Guide, and not install the same SID?
What are best practices in these situations?
Thanks
