Hi Sandip,

restarting the computer itself should do the trick (that's the hard way, of course; you could also try to localise the SDM process and kill it).

Hope it helps

Hi sandip

1. Be sure that sdm is not opened by another user.

2. Be sure that the all user closed the NetWeaver studio.

3. Uninstall all the additional server via config tool.

I suggest to restart the engine before you start the patch.
