Restoring the SAP NetWeaver Application Server instance

You can use the restore utility to restore JVM parameters if the SAP NetWeaver Application Server instance does not start after SAP NetWeaver Data Collector configuration or to restore SAP NetWeaver Application Server instance.

To restore the SAP NetWeaver Application Server instance by responding to prompts, complete the following steps:

1. On command line, change the path to install_dir\svdchome\build no\bin\configNW or install_dir/svdchome/build no/bin/configNW directory and run the following script:
   • restoreNW.bat
   • restoreNW.sh
2. Select the SAP NetWeaver Application Server version by typing the number that corresponds to product for which you want to restore the JVM parameters and press Enter.
3. When you are prompted for user name, enter the user name for the SAP NetWeaver Application Server instance, and press Enter.
