How to create new SDM userid?

[Former Member]

Hi,

At this moment, our development team members are sharing the default administrator password to deploy the Java applications to J2EE engine via SDM. But at one time or another, 2 persons were deploying simultaneously, and this sometimes causing error to the Netweaver. How do we create user id for each team developer?

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi julius,

As far as my experience is concerned, such a thing is not possible.

SDM is not any user id. SDM is the tool by which you deploy your application on the server. And for doing that it asks for the SDM password. So more than one user id or password on SDM doesn't make sense. And yes error coming when more than 1 person deploys through SDM is something which you will have to live with

As far as sharing the administrator password with the development team is concerned, you got a solution there. You can change the SDM password without affecting the administrator password. Follow the steps given below:

1)Open command prompt and navigate to the following path <b>\usr\sap\<instancename>\JCo<instanceNumber>\SDM\program</b> and execute the following commands.

2)StopServer.bat

3)sdm.bat jstartup "mode=standalone"

4)sdm.bat changepassword "newpassword=<type_new_password_here>"

5)sdm.bat jstartup "mode=integrated"

6)StartServer.bat

Your SDM password would be changed now.

Bye
