Could not start SDM - J2EE Server node shows status"Some Processes running"

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus!

I am working on the Netweaver SneakPreview sp16 EP6 version of portal on my machine. When I launched and login my server in SapMMC, <b>I found that the process jcontrol.exe (J2EE Server)under process list always shows the status as "Some Processes running" and always stays as a Yellow color node.</b>

And under Porcess Table J2EE server status shows as Running but the SDM Server status shows as "Stopped" and when tried to "Enable Process" it failed with "Exitcode 16"

<i><b>

It was <b>working</b> for a while and I was able to deploy the webdynpro ear but for a week now the SDM Server couldnt be started</b></i>

what could be the issue and how to resolve this problem?

Greatly appreciate help!

Thanks in advance,

I was able to resolve the issue by replacing the old back up file with corrupted one and restart the processes from SAPMMC

SDM Server backups could be found in (/usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/SDM/program/config/sdmrepository.sdc) named as sdmrepository_backup_X.sdc.

However, kkS's solution really worked!! Thank you kkS.
