SUM UI: Flags

This section describes the flags that can be displayed during an update.

In the middle upper part of the SUM UI, next to the tool version title and the scenario information, flags with different shapes and colors can appear under certain conditions.

Currently, three flags are available. Sometimes two of them or all appear at the same time side by side:

Checks.log Flag

The checks.log flag reflects the content of the file checks.log related to the current roadmap step. Depending on the type of the entry with the highest severity, the flag has a different shape and color. It can be of type information (= green or blue square), warning (= yellow or orange triangle), or error message (= red circle).

You can click the flag to open a dialog box with a list of the current log file entries. You are also warned with this flag against P-messages stored in the Longpost.log file. For more information, see Solving P-Errors.

You can select an entry and click the right arrow to get detailed information about the entry. Moreover, you can hide single messages in the list. Hidden messages can be restored.

Failed Daemon Processes Flag

This flag occurs in form of a red triangle if you perform one of the following features of the Software Update Manager:

Downtime-optimized Database Migration Option (downtime-optimized DMO)
Near-Zero Downtime Maintenance (nZDM)

The related tooltip There are failed daemon processes! informs you about the aborted or failed daemon processes of the SAPup executable.

When you click the icon, a new browser window with the SUM Utilities (Extended UI) opens in which Process Control Center is displayed directly. The detailed process overview lists the aborted daemon processes, and you can select and restart a process.

Failed Buckets Notification Flag

This flag is relevant when you are executing the Database Migration Option (DMO) of the Software Update Manager, and failed buckets occur. A flag in the form of a red triangle appears with the tooltipThere are failed process buckets!.

When you click the icon, a new browser window with the SUM Utilities (Extended UI) opens. The Process Control Center is displayed directly and allows you to monitor and maintain the buckets.
