Hi ! I´m installing Portal 60 with SAP WAS 640. I have a problem in SAPInst installation, in step "Deploy via SDM/J2EE" SAPinst displayed a error :

ERROR 2004-10-27 18:17:39 MUT-02041 SDM call of deploySdaList ends with returncode 4.

I´m using "Installation of SAP Enterprise Portal Web AS

guide, version 5.0 September 2004.In this guide the steps for to install Portal 60 are :

1) Install SAP Web AS Java 640 2) Install SAP Portal.

My problem is in SAPInst installation, in step "Deploy via SDM/J2EE" of Web AS Java installation . The step 2 with Portal installation wasn´t done yet.

The server has : SO = AIX 52 Java version = 1.4.1 /64bit Database = Oracle 9.2.04

The SAPInst log " callSdmViaSapinstlog" displays :

Hi,

Follow should resolve the error.

1. Please check the Environment variable of JAVA_HOME. It should be same to as when J2EE Engine is installed. Please Uninstall other JREs in the system.

2. Take a backup of SDM folder in \usr folder. Rename or delete the existing SDM folder. (carefull)

Retry for the installation.

Hi

I got the same error while upgrading WEBAS 640. I stopped the sapinst and stopped the SDM server using sdmserver.sh . Change the SDM mode to standalone using the command ./sdm.sh jstartup "mode=standalone" , now start the sapinst .
