Cannot determine sdm host(is empty).

[Former Member]

Hello ,

I am trying to deploy a simple webdynpro application and get the following error:

"Cannot determine sdm host(is empty). Please configure your engine/sdm correctly.".

WAS is a remote machine.

I have the NWDS window->preferences->SAP J2EE Engine-> Message server host/port or remote engine configured.

I tried working with the changes suggested earlier in the forum.

This is a new server machine address and my NWDS was installed earlier for another machine.Only change that I have done is to change the ip address and port but it still gives the same error.

Plz suggest.

Thanks

Hi Gita

Did you find a solution for your problem? I am experiencing exactly the same problem. Please can you tell me what the solution was?

Hi,

Give Engine details in the Preferences - It should show the server in Green colour. You can get J2EE Engine view from NWDS - window - Show View - J2EE Engine.

If you are using local j2ee engine, select 2nd radio button from Preferences - SAP J2EE Engine(J2EE Engine installed on local system)

Hope it is working for you.

I can get connected to my remote EP server.

How would I check to see if the remote message server is working?

Hi Gita

Make an entry in your "c:\windows\drivers\etc\hosts" file

with your server IP Address and host name

Ex: "127.0.0.1 localhost"

Hey you can get the message server host and port number from the url

http:<hostname:portno>/index.html---->system configuration.You try to provide the message server host and port number from the info you get from there in the NWDS.

NOTE: to get those details you need to have proper credentials.
