Goodbye SUM welcome SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager.

[Hay Bouten]

Starting with SAP HANA SPS06 SUM is replaced with SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager (HLM). The update process is straightforward. Looking at the screenshots timestamps it took 8 minutes to download and install. When you start SUM on your 'old' revision it looks for a newer SUM version on the SAP Service Marketplace. This newer version is found, downloaded and installed.

The new SUM needs a restart to be activated.

After the restart there is a new option to install SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager. Actually this was the only work option. All the other options told me to install the SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager.

Welcome SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager. The screenshot shows all the integrated options. So it looks like SUM and the On-site Configuration Tool merged. Also some transportation tooling is included.

In my first small test I must say I like SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager. It gives much more feedback on what it is doing during a patch.
