The reports are generated as an XML and HTML file which can be viewed in a web browser. The supported
browsers for viewing the report files are Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and
above. By default, the reports are located in the current working directory from where HP SUM was initiated.
If that current location is write-protected, the reports are located in the same directory as the HP SUM log files.
• On Windows® operating systems: C:\cpqsystem\hp\log
• On Linux operating systems: /var/hp/log
When generating the requested report, the HP SUM GUI does not appear. When the report is generated, HP
SUM reports the location where the report files can be found.
