For more information, see Zypper patching tool.
Warning: BMC strongly recommends using Zypper when creating a patching job for a patch catalog that was created using the Subscription Management Tool (SMT). SMT is shipped out-of-the-box with the operating system.
You must manually install and configure SMT (version 11 SP3) on the repository server before you create a SuSE patch catalog. Note: SuSE recommends upgrading SuSE 12 to SuSE 12 SP1 to avoid dependency issues.
