Sometimes, SDM (Software Deployment Manager) will not start if you recently updated the SDM. To solve this issue, please proceed as follow:

 

Starting  SDM will not work if you do not first edit some files:

 

Edit the SDM file

<DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS<NO>\SDM\program\sdm_jdk.bat (Add-in Installation)

<DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<NO>\SDM\program\sdm_jdk.bat (Standalone Engine)

 

 

set sdm_java_home=/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk14

to

set sdm_java_home=%JAVA_HOME%

 

and;

 

set sdm_heap_size=512

Then you can start SDM from a Windows Client:

<DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS<NO>\SDM\program\RemoteGui.bat (Add-in Installation)

<DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<NO>\SDM\program\RemoteGui.bat (Standalone Engine)

Note 

Above changes also can help to solve JSPM Start Problems.
