SAP Kernel patch, Hana update and brand NEW function: Patch Linux systems

Replace the SAP kernel, patch databases and perform a HANA update - with EPOS it's as easy as pushing a few buttons.

NEW

Even a planned Linux patch can be easily performed now. For this purpose we have implemented a new function in the EPOS Maintenance App: it is now possible to reboot the operating system from within it. UserExits* give you the option to execute the corresponding commands.

Use Cases:

• Automate Linux updates (yum install, zypper)
• Schedule monitoring and backups during an EPOS job
• Execute actions in SAP (scheduling reports)
