Starting SDM on an IBM eServer iSeries System

Sometimes, SDM (Software Deployment Manager) will not start if you recently updated the SDM. To solve this issue, please proceed as follow:

Starting SDM will not work if you do not first edit some files:

Edit the SDM file

:\usr\sap\\DVEBMGS\SDM\program\sdm_jdk.bat (Add-in Installation)

:\usr\sap\\JC\SDM\program\sdm_jdk.bat (Standalone Engine)

set sdm_java_home=/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk14

to

set sdm_java_home=%JAVA_HOME%

and;

set sdm_heap_size=512

Then you can start SDM from a Windows Client:

:\usr\sap\\DVEBMGS\SDM\program\RemoteGui.bat (Add-in Installation)

:\usr\sap\\JC\SDM\program\RemoteGui.bat (Standalone Engine)

Note

Above changes also can help to solve JSPM Start Problems.
