RHBA-2020:3645 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

The rhel-system-roles-sap package is going to be removed from the SAP NetWeaver repository of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Description

The rhel-system-roles-sap package provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) System Roles for SAP, which can be used to automate the configuration of a RHEL system to run SAP workloads. These roles greatly reduce the time to configure a system to run SAP workloads by automatically applying the optimal settings that are based on best practices outlined in relevant SAP Notes. Access is limited to RHEL for SAP Solutions offerings. Please contact Red Hat Customer Support if you need assistance with your subscription.

The rhel-system-roles-sap package, distributed earlier with the RHEA-2019:3323 and RHBA-2019:4258 advisories, is currently present in both the SAP Solutions and SAP NetWeaver repositories. The package is intended to be available only through the SAP Solutions repository, and it is going to be removed from the SAP NetWeaver repository with the next RHEL 8 minor release.

For more information about the rhel-system-roles-sap package, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles for SAP Knowledgebase article linked from the References section.
