Other terms

Failed SDM command

Reason and Prerequisites

The reason of the fisrt error:

There is a started SDM server on the system. All SDM commands have to be executed when there is no started SDM server.

The reason of the second error:

The executed command can be run only if SDM is in standalone mode.

Solution

Solution for the first error:

Stop the started SDM server as you use jcmon (for Windows and UNIX) or MMC (for Windows), if it is in integrated mode or follow the next steps:

1.Open a console to the system.

2.Go to /usr/sap///SDM/program

3.Run

StopServer.bat (for Windows)

./StopServer.sh (for UNIX)

Solution for the second error:

Follow the next steps:

1.Open a console to the system.

2.Go to /usr/sap///SDM/program

3.Run

sdm.bat jstartup "mode=standalone" (for Windows)

./sdm.sh jstartup mode=standalone (for UNIX)

It will be better to return SDM in the initial state after the command execution.

To set SDM mode to integrated (if SDM has been in it), use the steps:

1.Open a console to the system.

2.Go to /usr/sap///SDM/program

3.Run

sdm.bat jstartup "mode=integrated" (for Windows)

./sdm.sh jstartup mode=integrated (for UNIX)

To start SDM server (if it has been started), use again jcmon (for Windows and UNIX) or MMC (for Windows) if SDM is in integrated mode or follow the next steps:

1.Open a console to the system.

2.Go to /usr/sap///SDM/program

3.Run

StartServer.bat (for Windows)

./StartServer.sh (for UNIX)
