How do I undeploy a Business Package from EP?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need to deploy & configure some specialised Business Packages on the Portal for a Demo. But the requirement is to undeploy the Business Packages from the Server after the demo.

How can that be done? If I just delete the specific folder, does it mean I am undeploying the Business Package?

Thanks,

Shobhit

Hi,

Generally you have Business Package as SCA ( software component archive) and you deploy them using SDM tool and also undeploy using the same tool.

If you just have a par file, then check this:

Hi,

The SDM is one of the options to choose for undeploying an application. But I basically prefer using the J2EE Engine's visual administrator tool (it is more intuitive in my opinion). Here's how to deal with it:

1. Start the tool using the go.bat located in \usr\sap\<SID>\<Instance Name>\j2ee\admin folder

2. Log in with an Administrator user.

3. Under the Server node click Services-> Deploy.

4. In the runtime tab, on the right hand side screen click on the Applications checkbox. The list of all deployed applications appears.

5. Select the application and click on the Remove button.

Undeploying using SDM

You can also undeploy the application using the SDM tool. Launch the tool by running the remotegui.bat from your usr\sap\SID\JC00\SDM\program. Enter your sdm password and then go to the undeployment tab. pick the application you want to undeploy and add it to the right hand pane and follow the steps in the wizard

Check this official SAP link for deployment and undeployment details.

Hi Shobhit,

ususally business packages come in all kind of formats. For example SCA, PAR, or EPA. Praveen already explained how to remove SCA and PAR files. When it comes to EPA files things are different. It's quite tricky to remove the entire business package if it came in an EPA file. Basically, you have to remove all PCD objects, included PAR files, etc. manually.

Best regards,

Martin
