Installation of SDM?

[tj_wilkinson2]

I'm missing the SDM for a Solution Manager 4.0 installation. Is it possible to install this separately from the rest of the system?

A bit of background, we're getting ready to use Mimix to do data replication to a DR instance of our Solution Manager system. On the target server, instead of doing a system copy of our production Solution Manager system or a fresh Solution Manager install and clearing the database libraries, I did a crtr3sys / crtr3inst to create the instances.

I looked today to make sure the directory structure was correct prior to doing the save / restore of the database to begin replication, and I noticed that it seems the SDM is missing. Apparently the crtr3sys / crtr3inst does not install this.

Does anyone have any experience in getting a Solution Manager system to work after doing a crtr3sys / crtr3inst and then restoring the R3SIDDB and the SAPSIDDATA libraries? Did you have to install the SDM after the fact? Thank you.

Hello TJ,

SDM is the tool to deploy Java components. For Solution Manager 4.0 (based on NetWeaver 7.0), you should use JSPM to patch Java stack, which calls SDM for you. I am not aware of any way to install SDM separately - it is part of the core Java engine.

As I remember, Doreen used crtr3sys/crtr3inst to create the replicated ABAP-only SAP system before. But it would not be sufficient for Java stack, unless you do a lot of manual work as SAPinst does. It might be easier to install the backup Solution Manager 4.0 from the standard SAPinst tool.

Best regards,

Hi TJ,

I'm doing really lots of stuff, but I'm not doing ABAP & Java systems (like SolMan 4.0) homogenious systemcopy WITHOUT SAPinst !

Unfortunately, that is what you are doing here ...

SDM is not just a directory as you might think - that is the complete transport tool stuff of Java. So, I'm now sure, you are missing lots of other stuff in the Java environment.

I can only strongly suggest, to use official tools in such an envrionment - next question: That is the first time I hear from a SolMan in an HA Environment - but this might show us, that the impact of that tool becomes bigger ...
