Hello,

the SID or with other words the SAP System Identifier (sapsid) is a unique identification of a SAP System Instance. Within a SAP Customer Landscape it is essential to have each SAP instance distinguishably and addressable uniquely, especially if a customer has 50 or 60 Systems running. Along with the SID there is a System Nr. which should be also uniquely defined to this SID (e.g. SID = MBS and SystemNr. = 00 and/or SID = TST and SystemNr. = 01). The System Number reflects a range of reserved tcp-ports in the services of an operating system (look at C:windowssystem32driversetcservices) to access the SAP System. See also a short cut of the installation guide of SAP Netweaver 2004s:

SAP System ID and Database ID

SAP System ID

is the number assigned to the primary application

server instance.

I hope that explains and answers your question.
