   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update provides sapconf 4.1.7, which provides the following fixes:

   - SAP HANA performs better with "force_latency=70" in its tuning profile,
     so the setting is now introduced to the profile. (bsc#1032516)
   - sapconf's sap-hana tuning profile incorrectly used "noop" IO scheduler
     on disk block devices, which is not explicitly recommended by either
     SUSE or SAP. Performance regression showed up during benchmark runs.
     Hence, the IO scheduler setting is removed from tuning profile, and left
     to be decided by end-user. (bsc#1031073)
