On Windows OS, you administer the J2EE Engine and its processes with the SAP Management Console or the command line.

Prerequisites

You have installed the J2EE Engine on a host machine running under Windows OS.

Operating the SDM with the SAP Management Console

Caution

Remember that you can manage the SDM with the SAP Management Console only if the SDM is running in integrated mode (as part of the Java Control Framework). For more information, see SDM Modes .

To start the SDM Server with the Java Control Framework, proceed as follows:

Start the SAP Management Console by choosing Start → Programs → SAP Management Console.
Select the Tree tab.
From the tree, choose SAP Systems →<SID> → <SAP_Web_AS_Java_Instance> → Process Table.
Note
The SAP Web AS Java instance and the Central Services instance are presented with different nodes in the SAP Management Console.
Select the SDM process
- To start it, choose Enable Process in the context menu.
- To stop it, choose Disable Process in the context menu.
  Note
  If you restart the J2EE Engine and the SDM is running in integrated mode, you must stop the SDM again separately, since this service is started automatically with the J2EE Engine.

Operating the SDM from the Command Line

Navigate to the usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE_NAME>/SDM/program directory of your J2EE Engine installation.
Open a command prompt.
- To stop the SDM Server, execute the command:
  StopServer
  
  Note
  If you restart the J2EE Engine and the SDM is running in integrated mode, you must stop the SDM again separately, since this service is started automatically with the J2EE Engine.
- To start the SDM Server, execute the command:
  StartServer.
