Hi,

For changing the SDM password, the mode of SDM has to be set to standalone mode.

enter following lines in command line

1. enter SDM directory as: cd C:\usr\sap\SID\JCxx\SDM\program

2. Execute the following

sdm jstartup "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap\SID\JCxx\SDM\program" "mode=standalone"

sdm changepassword "sdmhome= C:\usr\sap\SID\JCxx\SDM\program" "newpasword= XXXXX"

Also put SDM back to integrated mode

sdm jstartup "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\program" "mode=integrated"

Do reward points if useful

Hi Mukesh,

SDM Password Reset

==================

Just enter following lines in your COMMAND LINE:

1. enter SDM directory as: cd C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\program

2. Execute the following (just copy-paste)

sdm jstartup "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\program" "mode=standalone"

3. Execute following line (replacing Password1 with your new password for SDM)

sdm changepassword "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap/J2E/JC00/SDM/program" "newpassword=Password1"

4. I suggest also revert SDM back to integrated mode

sdm jstartup "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\program" "mode=integrated"

5. Start SDM using commnad as "StartServer.bat"

Reward Points; if it is helpfull.
