SUM TOOL

Home

What is Software Update Manager (SUM) tool ?
A support pack contains lots of errors correction and new features. SUM tool is used to upgrading system to higher level,
installing enhancement packages, updating single components and applying SPS.
Benefits of nZDM for SUM:
In SUM you have the option to use one of the following pre-configurations:
•“Single System” =  no use of shadow instance (update) or shadow instance runs exclusively (upgrade)
•“Standard” = similar to EHPi or SAPup
•“Advanced” = intention to minimize the downtime
Considering all downtime minimization capabilities which are offered in the advanced pre-configuration mode of SUM you can select the following capabilities:
•Intensive use of parallelization for Batch processing, DDL processes and R3TRANS
•SGEN in the shadow instance
•Customer transports import (on request)
With this feature, you can move the customer transports to the SUM procedure. The business downtime is reduced because repository related customer transports are imported during the uptime phase. In combination with nZDM the customer transports import can be used to execute z-table conversions in uptime.
The customer transports import is fully integrated with SPAU / SPDD, Transport Management System (TMS) and Change Request Management (ChARM). Customer transport import is currently shipped on customer request.
