SUM was registered at the SAP Host Agent. Where does the SAP Host Agent find the path to the SUM directory?

Question

Options

• AThe path was stored in file host_profile during registration.
• BThe path was stored to the environment of user <sid>adm during registration.
• CThe path is taken from the URL entered in the browser to start SUM.
• DThe path was stored in file sumabap.conf during registration.

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  8% (4)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  86% (43)

Explanation

When SUM is registered with the SAP Host Agent, the registration process stores the path to the SUM directory in sumabap.conf - a dedicated configuration file that the Host Agent reads to locate and manage SUM. Option A is wrong because host_profile stores SAP Host Agent's own configuration parameters, not SUM paths. Option B is wrong because user environment variables are session-scoped and not a reliable persistent mechanism for Host Agent service lookups. Option C is wrong because the browser URL is a client-side address used only to access the SUM UI, and the Host Agent operates independently of browser sessions.

Memory tip: Think "SUM abap configuration = sum**abap.conf**" - the file name literally contains "abap" because SUM is primarily used for ABAP system upgrades, making it easy to associate the two.
