Hi All, any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, or indeed point me to the right place if this is not the correct forum, Thanks!
I was installing sp11 from sp0 on an XI 6.40 system, following the sp11 install pdf documentation. I patched the kernel, imported the SAP BASIS 6.40 sp, changed relevant configuration (including updating the jdk from 1.4.2_05 to 1.4.2_07) but when I got to the section on SAP Web AS Java 6.40 support package I ran into an issue. I downloaded the relevent patches and unpacked with SAPCAR, ran SAPInst from the unpacked folders and all was working until it reached the phase "Deploy File System" directly following the phase "SDM Installation/Upgrade". I got an error dialog (Retry/View Log/Stop/Reset) and the log showed the following error:
ERROR 2005-04-04 14:34:51
MUT-02041 SDM call of j2eeenginestartstop mode=manual ends with returncode 16
I also get this error if I run the above call on the command line, together with a java stack, which also appears in the logs:

at SDM.main(SDM.java:21)
Severe (internal) error. Return code: 16
I can't find anything in the sap notes about this, or in the other documentation, and am really stuck. I have tried checking if there is another sdm server running and there is not (if I start one I get a different error saying that there is already an SDM server running)
If I really can't work out what to do I will have to go back to the last system backup I did because at the moment the J2EE engine won't even start and I can't get the SAPInst to go forward or backward to where I was before I ran it (e.g under j2ee/os_libs I have a folder "moved_by_sapinst" which remains even when I do a "reset" after the error and the Jlaunch exe has been moved there, and I think this may be why my j2ee server is not starting??)
Many thanks for any help you can give,
Cheers,
Chris
