General Remarks

Linux distributors regularly release updates to improve security, stability, and performance. The respective distributor tests these updates to ensure compatibility with SAP software before making them available. Therefore, you can use these updates immediately, including in production environments, provided that you use the original packages supplied by the distributor. These packages are available to you if you have a valid contract with the distributor or an authorized OEM. This compatibility assurance covers all distributor-provided updates, including maintenance bundles such as SUSE Service Packs and update releases from Oracle Linux and Red Hat. To maintain a secure, stable, and fully supported system landscape, use the latest available service pack or update collection together with current online updates.
