Starting the SUM Observer Monitor

The Software Update Manager offers an additional SUM user interface mode called the observer mode. This mode is displayed as SUM observer monitor.

Prerequisites

You have created a user <SID>obs and set a password for this user.

Caution

For security reasons, do not use the user <SID>adm for the observer mode.
Linux only: The <SID>obs user must be added to the sapsys group.
You have started the Software Update Manager at least one time with the SUM user interface as described in Starting or Restarting the Software Update Manager.
You have made sure that the corresponding observer progress file SUMOBSERVER.XML exists in the subdirectory <SUM directory>/abap/doc/analysis.

For more information, see SUM Observer Monitor.

Procedure

In the address bar of your browser, enter the following URL:
https://<fully qualified hostname>:1129/lmsl/sumobserver/<SID>/monitor/index.html
- Replace <SID> with your system ID.
- The system ID in the URL must be written in uppercase letters.
- 1129 is the https port of the SAP Host Agent.
- If the SSL has not been configured, use http instead of https at the beginning of the URL and use port 1128:
  
  http://<fully qualified hostname>:1128/lmsl/sumobserver/<SID>/monitor/index.html
  
  Note
  
  If you have installed the SAP Host Agent as of version 7.22 with patch level 52, the URL with http is automatically redirected to https. See Registering SUM in SAP Host Agent for more information.
Enter the observer user <SID>obs and the configured password.
