      Hi Yogesh,

      thanks for collecting some relevant points.

      Hopefully all readers are aware that replicated information taken from the guide holds the risk that it is not updated in case the guide is updated.

      Regards, Boris

      Hello Boris,

      I am totally agree on your point. I put this blog as starting point because there is so much change in new SUM tool.

      I will try to keep it up-to-date as much as possible.

      Thanks
