Hi

We have many different tools (12 tools )available in Enterprise Portal.

SDM, JSPM, Visual Admin tool, Config Tool are one of them.

SDM :- Software Deployment Manager is been replaced with JSPM tool for more intelligent work.

It is a tool from where we can apply the support packages, but now it is outdated and we are using JSPM tool to deploy the support packages.

For SDM tool we need to manually feed the support packages.

With SDM tool we can also undeploy the support packages.

It is initialized with remotegui.bat (Windows) or remotegui.sh (Unix)

JSPM:- Java support package manager is initialized by go.bat (WIndows) or go.sh (Unix).

It uses the SDM password.

It is an intelligent tool

it will check the patch levels at market place with the existing patch levels.

it will read the SP's from inbox automatically.

we can even upgrade the kernel here.

Config tool : It is a configuration tool which works offline.

it does not require java engine to be up and running to open.

it is initialized by configtool.bat or configtool.sh

it is used to configure the ldap to populate the user information.

it is used to increase and decrease the server processes.

it is used to change the password of superuser when all the users got locked.

Visual Admin Tool : It is online tool requires java engine to be start.

remote login is possible with this tool.

it is initialized by go.bat or go.sh

Most of the parameters are dynamic and does not require restart of engine.

it requires user id and password to login

For any further details reply

Hi Kishore,

SDM and JSPM are used for deployment of Java patches same as SPAM used for support packs deployment in R3.

With SDM we can deploy individual or single components and with JSPM we can install multiple patches at one time by defining the queue.

Visual administrator and config tool are for maintaining the Java settings: like parameters and its values, starting and stopping services.

Visual administrator is online tool where as config tool is offline. you need to login with sidadm user to operate these tools.
