-showEOM true
This property pertains to product versions which have reached End-of-Maintenance (EOM)
customers who purchase an End-Of-Maintance-Extension license, SUM will show fixes built after the EOM deadline. All SAG employee userIDs see this "extended" (EOME) view by default. The "-showEOM true" option may be useful for GS engineers to know what the EOM (cutoff) fix levels are. To use this option, SUM must be launched as follows:

SUM Self-Updates

You can override this default behavior by setting the property selfUpdateMode=OFF in sum.cnf file
In C:\<InstallationDirectory>\UpdateManager\conf\sum.cnf
