2293050 - SUM: Generating a System Information XML File for use with SAP
Maintenance Planner
Component: BC-UPG-TLS-TLJ (Upgrade tools for Java), Version: 24, Released On: 22.07.2020
Symptom
This procedure is only valid if the system you update does not have external connectivity to a Solution
Manager system due to security reasons.
We do not recommend you use this procedure, unless you are in the the above-mentioned case. For more
information, see section "Adding Systems Using System Information XML" in the Maintenance Planner
user guide.
This feature is supported only for SAP NetWeaver systems version 7.0 and higher.
The procedure described in the "Solution" section of this SAP Note compiles a list of the Java components in your dual-
stack or Java-only system. You can provide the resulting file to the SAP Maintenance Planner team who can use it as
an information source, so that they can manually upload your system information into SAP Maintenance Planner.
NOTE:
To aquire the equivalent list of the ABAP components, in the ABAP system menu go to Menu -> System -> Status -> SAP
System data.

Solution
Proceed as follows:
1. Download and unpack a new SUM 1.0 instance as described the SUM user guide. To download the guide relevant for
your system, go to https://support.sap.com/sltoolset - > System Maintenance -> Software Update Manager <version> -
> Guides for for SUM <version>.
2. Navigate to /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/sdt/param/ on Unix- based or IBM-I OS, or <DRIVE>:\usr\sap\
<sapsid>\SUM\sdt\param on Windows, and open the startup.props file for editing.
3. Create a new line with the following parameter and setting: Scenario=SYS_INFO_EXPORT
For dual-stack systems you also have to add ABAP=false.
4. Save and close the startup.props file.
5. If required, configure the SAP Host Agent as described in the SUM user guide.
6. Register SUM in the SAP Host Agent using the following command:
For Windows: <DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<sapsid>\SUM\STARTUP.BAT
For UNIX, user root mandatory: /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/STARTUP <SID>
7. Start SUM and complete one full run. Depending on the security setup of your system, use the following URL:
https://<hostname>:1129/lmsl/sumjava/<SID>/index.html
Note that the dialog about choosing a stack.xml-based scenario or a manually prepared directory is automatically
skipped.
8. To aquire the system info XML file, navigate to /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/sdt/htdoc/SysInfoExport.xml on Unix- based
or IBM-I OS or <DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<sapsid>\SUM\sdt\htdoc\SysInfoExport.xml on Windows.
Altermatively, open a browser tab, go to http://<sum-hostname>:1128/lmsl/sumjava/<SID>/SysInfoExport.xml, and
copy the information from there.
NOTE:
If you want to reuse an already completed SUM instance, you have to select the "Reuse this SUM directory for future
maintenance activities and backup the current execution artifacts to the ……." checkbox that is available in the “Summary of
the Update Process” dialog. After completeing the procedure, you can find the current execution artifacts at:
For Windows: <DRIVE>:\usr\sap\
<sapsid>\SUM\sdt\archive\execution_<YEAR_MONTHS_DEY_TIME>\SysInfoExport.xml
For Unix- based or IBM-I OS:
/usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/sdt/archive/execution_<YEAR_MONTHS_DEY_TIME>/SysInfoExport.xml
Note that if you do not select this checkbox, you cannot reuse the same SUM instance and you have to unpack a new SUM
instance if you want to perform a new SUM run.
