Could not start SDM Server - another Server may be running already

[Former Member]

Hi

I have some problems with SDM after upgrade to SP16.

Right now i can't neither start it, nor change password..

it has an error but i don't understand it, because i have only one instance and the server is stopped.

I'm enclosing the error, please, if you have some ideas let me know.

Thank you.

Go to command prompt.

Go to directory where remotegui.bat reside for SDM

e.g: D:\usr\sap\<sid>\JC00\sdm\program\

execute following command one by one

sdm.bat jstartup "mode=standalone"

sdm.bat j2eeenginestartstop "mode=automatic"

sdm.bat jstartup "mode=integrated"

startserver.bat

A lot of thanks of your answer (both of you)..

None of the prerequisits of the note exists on my system.

"1)There is a started SDM server on the system. All SDM commands have to be executed when there is no started SDM server. Or SDM port is busy by another application."

Server is on red color. I had reseted all tha instance, nobody use it, any applications.

"2)2. The executed command can be run only if SDM is in standalone mode."

Yes, i ran before the next command: Execute :

sdm jstartup "mode=standalone" "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program"

"3. SDM port is busy by another application."

the port is only used for sdm wich is off...

Anyway, in order to get the solution, i started with the steps described on the note, but i had a problem with the StopServer.bat

3.Run

StopServer.bat (for Windows)

When i run it, i got another message (i though a similar one):

"Sending shutdown on port 50018

Shutdown failed: SDM currently runs in monolithic mode. Logons cannot be accepted.

Could not shutdown server.

Details: Shutdown failed: SDM currently runs in monolithic mode. Logons cannot be accepted.

Processing error. Return code:4"

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I restarted the server and i finally changed the password.

I'm on charge to resolve why tha SDM hangs when we ask for connection. It is happening after the SP16 upgrade.

Still happening. do you have any idea why ?

On Logs there is nothing extrange, but when the SDM starts, it has a message like this:

<<frog.jar version 4.6.5 sap.theme:null>>

Should i confirm this message and open another one?

thank you.

Hi Nadia,

Please check the OSS note 916381.

Are you using your SDM as integrated or standalone ?

Hi Mike!

I think this note is not applied to me, because my SDM is in mode integrated, and i can deploy the applications from NWDS without problems.

The problem is if i need to use the RemoteGui.bat, it ask me for the user and password connection, and after that, it seems like it try to launch but it never ends... and therefore, it show me nothing....

Any idea¡¡??

thank you.

Go to command prompt.

Go to directory where remotegui.bat reside for SDM

e.g: D:\usr\sap\<sid>\JC00\sdm\program\

execute following command one by one

sdm.bat jstartup "mode=standalone"

sdm.bat j2eeenginestartstop "mode=automatic"

sdm.bat jstartup "mode=integrated"

startserver.bat

You should be using remotegui.bat to connect to SDM. if it is already running.
