Cannot read or interpret SDA deployment descriptor

[Former Member]

We are getting this error when trying to deploy an EAR file. This same project has been successfully deployed on a different machine. When comparing the EAR files on the two machines they are identical. The error only occurs on one machine.

com.sap.sdm.apiint.serverext.servertype.deployment.DeploymentActionException: Cannot read or interpret SDA deployment descriptor.

Additional error message is:

com.sap.sdm.apiint.serverext.sdmprovided.CantReadDeploymentDescriptorException: Error parsing the SDA deployment descriptor: Substitution variable com.sap.dc_name is not defined (error ID: SPOEngineSubstitutionVariable.SPOEngineSubstitutionVariable(XMLElementIF).UNDEFINED_VARIABLE)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

do you still have the same problems?

You can install SP04 and after this SP09 for WAS and the NWDS - this way solved my problem.

David,

Did you get an answer or OSS message to fix this problem? I just got this when i was applying SP4 on WAS 6.40.

No answer. It's very frustrating. I was directed to note 667438 but it was no help. Please let me know if you find a solution

YES. IT IS FRUSTRATING! I cannot get past SP04 Patch on this problem, thus unable to deploy the portal plaform.

I tried note 701654 but it still came up with the same problem.

I guess you have to issue an OSS message.
