SDM GUI Hangs on deployment of an SDA/SCA file

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I want to deploy the MDM Business Package on to the j2ee engine.However, when i go to the SDM GUI and select the first SDA(com.sap.mdm.tech.mdm4j.sda) file for deployment, it just hangs and nothing happens after that. Unless i restart the SDM, the Log files also don't say much.However after a restart i can see a file sdm_remotegui.err (under ..\SDM\program\log).the contents of the file are as follows:

An IOException occured while reading from the Server: net.id_000001: Caught IOException during read of header bytes (-1, 2500467):Connection reset

java.lang.NullPointerException

java.lang.NullPointerException

I feel something is wrong with the SDM GUI.Infact, it does not let me deploy any SDA/SCAs.

Please let me know any possible solutions.Is there any other way , apart from SDM GUI, to deploy the SDA files onto the J2EE engine?

Thanks,

before deploying, upgrade your SDM to the latest version

Hi,

You can use the sdm command instead of the gui. To check how it should be used go to \SDM\program\doc\SDMCommandLineDoc_en_final.htm - chapter 7.

Judging from the exception however it seems the sdm server is breaking the connection, so it is a good idea to check it's log files as well. They are located in the instance work folder - dev_sdm, std_sdm.out and jvm_sdm.out

I hope this helps.
