Frequently Asked Questions

How can I skip a specific SUM Phase?

To skip a specific SUM Phase, generate a password using this tool and add it to the SAPup_add.par file. The password will be in the format /phase_ignore/FULL/PHASE_NAME = PASSWORD. Ensure to terminate the SUM process before adding the password to the file.

Is there a master password to avoid generating a password for each SUM version?

Yes, you can skip any SUM phase using some other words, like BRUNETTE or INFERNAL. Here is an example:

# Example of a SAPup_add.par file
/phase_ignore/PREP_SPACECHECKS/SPACECHK_OPT = BRUNETTE
/phase_ignore/PREP_CONFIGURATION/CHECK4NOTES_TOOL = INFERNAL

Does this method work for any SUM Phase?

As far as we know, yes. However, be cautious as once a phase is ignored, it cannot be run again, which may cause issues later in the SUM process. Use this method at your own risk.
