Running the SDM in Standalone Mode 

Use

You can run the Software Deployment Manager (SDM) independently of the SAP J2EE Engine. To do this, you must remove the link between the SDM and the Java Control Framework.

Procedure

To remove the link between the SDM and the Java Control Framework, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Stop the SDM Server as described under Starting and Stopping the Software Deployment Manager.

       2.      Navigate to the <sdm_home>/program directory of your SAP J2EE Engine and switch the SDM to standalone mode with the following command in the command line:

sdm jstartup "mode=standalone" for Windows

sdm.sh jstartup mode=standalone for UNIX

To integrate the SDM in the Java Control Framework, use the following command:

sdm jstartup "mode=integrated" for Windows

sdm.sh jstartup mode=integrated for UNIX

       3.      Start the SDM Server again as described under Starting and Stopping the Software Deployment Manager.

Result

You have switched the SDM to standalone mode.

Remember that, in standalone mode, the SDM is no longer started and stopped automatically with the SAP J2EE Engine. You can then only use the command line to control the SDM (for more information, see the file SDM_Commandline_en_final.pdf in the directory <sdm_home>/doc).
