Force SDM to shut down / stop - NW70

[Former Member]

In the event that SDM won't shut down by the normal command, it can be forced as follows for NW 7.0:

cd /usrsap/SID/JC01/SDM/program

sdm.sh shutdown sdmhome=/usr/sap/SID/JC01/SDM/program sdmguiport=50118 sdmhostname=<hostname> password=<password> shutdownmode=abort

If you don't happen to know the port number, just try and shutdown or start the server again (which will of course fail) and you'll see the port number in the output on screen somewhere.

Just posting for the benefit of others as I couldn't find any info for NW70. SDM (and the Java stack in general) is a ghastly product and whoever designed it has a special place in hell reserved for them!

Alternative: In the SAP management window, you can see the process ID associated w/ SDM. Then, just run "Kill <process ID>" to terminate it quickly (less than 1 sec).

I can't agree more.
