Symptom
Case 1:
You want to install an Additional Application server to an existing SAP system running on a HANA database. During SWPM dialog phase, the Database ID is determined wrong but the according field cannot be changed leading to a subsequent failure in the connection to the database.
Sapinst throws an error: "Connect failed: Wrong database ID! Given: <wrong DBSID> Found: <correct DBSID>"
Case 2:
You want to perform a system refresh using a HANA backup of a different source system. During the target installation when it prepares to restore the backup, it fails stating
invalid database name <sid>
and as in Case 1, you see the incorrect DBSID and cannot edit it.
Case 3:
You want to rename an existing SAP system running on a HANA database. During SWPM Define parameters phase, you encounter an error:
"Database SID cannot be empty"
