Hi Sara,

You can execute RemoteGui.bat file present in D:\usr\sap\EPD\JC00\SDM\program location. There you mention the password and goto Deploy tab

Hi Experts,

When I tried to deploy the sda file using SDM tool, getting the below error.

Step : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f04ce027-934d-2a10-5a8f-fa0b1ed4... (Page No: 4 before the Deployment Configuration step)

Summary:

========

There were 1 archives selected.

0 archives successfully loaded.

Loading of 1 archives failed.

Details:

========

1) Error loading archive

C:aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda

(server side name is: C:aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda)

com.sap.sdm.util.sduread.IllFormattedSduFileException: The information about the development component found in the manifest is either missing or incomplete!

This is my provider.xml file.

<jar-name>msutil.jar</jar-name>

</jars>

</provider-descriptor>

Please tell me, what could be the problem. Initially I hv deployed the JDBC driver using Visual Admin, but it was not working. So, now added the jars in the provider.xml.

Please share your suggestions. Is that(provider.xml) format correct?

Hi Sara,

Hi Sara,

When you are deploying using SDM, you could keep the file anywhere (doesn't necessarily need to be in EPS\in directory) as you have the provision to browse/select the file in SDM deployment tab. When you use JSPM, you need to keep files in EPS\in as by default it looks for the SCA\SDA there.

Here, the issue is not the file location.

The file could be corrupt. So try downloading it again. If you manually modified the file, you need to make sure manifest.mf and sap_manifest.mf have correct parameters. There is one SAP note describing similar issue (for other SDA component). You could take inputs from here - Note 1111316 .

The issue most likely seems to be incomplete manifest.mf as the error message is descriptive and mentions :

attribute keylocation is missing

attribute keyname is missing

attribute keyvendor is missing

attribute keycounter is missing

Please use the mentioned note as a reference and see if the current component you are trying to deploy has complete manifest.mf and sap_manifest.mf file.
