[Hay Bouten]

When starting the Lifecycle Management the following pop-up is displayed.

If you want to start SUM automatically and avoid this pop-up you need to store the keystore password in the catalina.properties file.

There are two solutions to fix this 'problem'

1. Before starting Lifecycle Management make sure that on the HANAA server SUM is started manually. On the HANA server you can start SUM using the <sid>adm user account. Excute the following commands:

   Code: Select all

   su - <sid>adm
   cd /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM
   ./sum.sh      (During startup SUM will ask for the keystore password.)

2. SUM can be started automatically when Lifecycle Management is started from within the SAP HANA Studio. To assure that the automatic start of SUM is possible the keystore password needs to be stored in the catalina.properties file on your HANA server. To create this catalina.properties file perform the following commands:

   Code: Select all

   cd /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/config
   touch catalina.properties
   echo keystore.password=******* > catalina.properties      (Replace ******* with the actual password)
   chmod 400 catalina.properties
   

More detailed information on the catalina.properties file can be found in the SAP HANA Automated Update Guide for SPS5 on page chapter 2.1.
