2.Click on the Java EE Applications on the left side.
3.Select #com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl# from the Application List (you can use filter: write UWL in the Name filter and press enter)
4.After you selected #com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl# component scroll down to Application Details
5.Click on Stop button and select On All Instances
6.Click Refresh button to ensure the application status is STOPPED.
7.Click on Start button and select On All Instances

be missing in the portal and the deployment logs are needed for further analyse.
