How to Generate the System Info XML for Maintenance Planner Upload

ABAP System

Below steps are taken from SAP Note 2287046 – How to Generate the System Info XML for Maintenance Planner upload.

Do refer the SAP Note for more details and updated information.

1. Your SPAM version should be at least at level 59 or higher.

 

 

2. From the top menu, click on Utilities > Generate system info XML.

 

 

3. Save the XML file to your local computer.

 

 

4. Open the Maintenance Planner, click to Add System. Click on “I Accept” and Next.

 

 

5. Upload the XML file. Check “Dual Stack System” if your system is ABAP and JAVA system type. Click Next.

 

 

6. Double confirm the SID and if the SID is already exists, ensure that the XML file is referring to the same system else, the upload will overwrite to the wrong system.

 

 

7. Select the option why you are adding the system using manual way. Click Next.

 

 

8. Enter your reason and click on Upload.

 

 

9. Once uploaded, you can check and verify the system in the maintenance planner.

JAVA System

For JAVA system, the steps are bit different and you can refer to SAP Note 2293050 – SUM: Generating a System Information XML File for use with SAP Maintenance Planner for more details and updated information.

1. Download and unpack the new SUM tool.

2. In the startup.props file (SUM\sdt\param), add the following line,

Scenario=SYS_INFO_EXPORT

For dual-stack systems you also have to add ABAP=false. Save and close the startup.props file.

 

 

3. Launch the SUM tool and complete one full run. Note that the dialog about choosing a stack.xml-based scenario or a manually prepared directory will be automatically skipped. If it’s prompted, then, you have to recheck and rerun the SUM.

4. Once the above steps are complete, you can acquire the system info XML file from below options,

• /SUM/sdt/htdoc/SysInfoExport.xml (OPTION 1)
• http://[SUM-HOSTNAME]:1128/lmsl/sumjava/[SID]/SysInfoExport.xml (OPTION 2)

5. To upload into Maintenance Planner, follow the same steps as ABAP system from step number 4-9.

NOTE: A SUM instance that has already completed one run cannot be reused. To perform a new SUM run, you have to unpack a new SUM instance.
