Between Back-End Processes and GUIWhen you start the Software
Update Manager on the primary application server instance, it calls
the appropriate programs to execute the update steps. For
ABAP-based systems, this is the SAPup program. In addition, the
Software Update Manager starts the Software Logistics (SL)
Controller. The SL controller manages the SAPup processes and
provides ports to establish the communication with the front end.
The following port numbers are used:?Port 4240: Connection between
SL controller and SAPup?Port 4239: Connection between SL controller
and the Internet browser on the remote host?Port 4241: Connection
between the SL controller and the Software Update Manager GUI on
the remote hostThe following figure shows the connections between
the SAPup, the SL controller, and the front end.Update of SAP
