Explanation

Switching expert mode on within the SUM "Standard" configuration unlocks two additional technical controls that are hidden from regular users. Option C is correct because expert mode lets you reuse a shadow instance profile from a prior SUM run, which is useful when restarting a failed or interrupted procedure - it avoids reconfiguring the shadow system from scratch. Option D is correct because expert mode also allows you to manually specify the instance number for the shadow instance, giving administrators control over port assignments and preventing conflicts in complex system landscapes.

Option A is wrong because SUM requires archiving to be switched off during the update procedure as a prerequisite - it is not a toggleable expert option. Option B is wrong because NZDM (Near Zero Downtime Maintenance) is its own distinct main configuration option in SUM, not a sub-option unlocked by expert mode within the Standard path.

Memory tip: Think "expert mode = shadow instance control" - both correct answers (C and D) relate specifically to the shadow instance (reusing its profile, choosing its number). If an answer isn't about the shadow instance, it's likely a distractor.
