2. Open a command prompt.
3. Stop the SDM Server with the command StopServer.sh password=<sdm_password>.
To restart the SDM Server for deployment, proceed as follows:
...
1. Navigate to the <sdm-home>/program directory of your Engine installation.

If you want to restart the SAP J2EE Engine completely, you must stop the SDM again separately, since this service is started automatically with the Engine.
