Hi Boubad,

while I’ve not had to deal with these specific issues so far, it looks like you’re missing the proper repositories (IOW, the “SLES for SAP Applications”-specific repositories).

So you have SLES12 SP1 which you now want to migrate to SLES for
SAP Applications 12 SP1? Please can you post the output from “cat
/etc/*release”.

Please can you also let us know which process you are following?
Is it as per TID 7017320[1]?

As you have noted, TID 7018295 is for migrating SLES to SLES for SAP
Applications on PowerPC hardware. Do you have PowerPC hardware? Please
can you post the output from “arch” or “uname -m”.

If you don’t have PowerPC you should use the procedure and script from
TID 7017320 as I previously linked - the packages are different as they
contain different versions of the Migrate_SLES_to_SLES-for-SAP-12.sh
script (although from a quick check I think running the PowerPC version
on 64-bit CPU shouldn’t cause a problem).

Can you also let us know whether you’re using a local SMT server instead
of the SUSE Customer Center (SCC) for access to products repositories
including updates?
