<p>An update that contains 17 features and has three fixes can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for saptune fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>update package version of saptune to 3.1.0</li>
<li>Machine readable interfaces for saptune add json output support.</li>
<li>Enhance the identification of the cloud service provider. (jsc#SLE-23779)</li>
<li>Add a command line syntax check.</li>
<li>Colorized and filtered output for 'saptune note verify'. (jsc#SLE-23727)</li>
<li>Add action 'saptune solution change' to switch to a new
solution even that another solution was already applied. (jsc#PED-2196)</li>
<li>Introduce a Trento naming convention for custom solutions in
the saptune man page to support trento checks. (jsc#PED-4118)</li>
<li>Deprecate action 'saptune note|solution simulate'. (jsc#PED-2199)</li>
<li>Deprecate support for the v1 vendor or custom specific Note
definition file format. (jsc#SLE-23725)</li>
<li>Detect virtualization environment by 'systemd-detect-virt' and
add the information to 'saptune status'. (jsc#SLE-23885)</li>
<li>Enhance saptune with the new action 'check' to directly call
the external check script '/usr/sbin/saptune_check'. (jsc#SLE-23726)</li>
<li>De-deprecate the MAXDB solution definition. It is still active
supported by SAP, and add solution NETWEAVER+MAXDB. (jsc#SLE-23724)</li>
<li>Support inline comments in the Note definition files. (jsc#SLE-23729)</li>
<li>Rework Note representation in 'saptune status' output. (jsc#SLE-24530)</li>
<li>Fix problem with 'verify' output, if a sysctl parameter is
empty on the system. (bsc#1199527)</li>
<li>Add hint to the manual page of saptune(8) regarding 'missing'
line feed for 'saptune note applied' and 'saptune note enabled'. (bsc#1193714)</li>
<li>Rework the version section to make it clear, which information
needs to be provided. (jsc#SLE-23722)</li>
<li>Add more information to 'saptune status':
Differ between 'enabled' and 'applied' Solutions and add the
related Notes. Differ between Notes and Solutions in the staging area.
rename 'system state' line to 'systemd system state' to prevent
misunderstandings. Add virtualisation information.</li>
<li>Add tuning state to 'saptune status' output.
The check of the tuning state can be skipped by using the flag
'--non-compliance-check'.
In this case the tuning state will be reported as
unknown (checking disabled)
'saptune status' will exit with a return code of '4', if the
saptune service is enabled, the system is tuned, but the
tuning state is 'not compliant'. (jsc#SLE-24928)</li>
<li>Add support for the IBM Power architecture to the vendor and
model section tagging. (jsc#SLE-23824)
Implement the following SAP Notes: 1868829. 3024346, 1557506, 1656250, 1805750,
2161991, 2205917, 2382421, 2534844, 1984787, 2578899, 2684254, 1680803</li>
<li>Solution 'SAP-ASE' changed - remove SAP Note 1410736.
The best practice document (version 3.1) for ASE was changed
and the SAP Note 1410736 is no longer referenced. Instead the
parameter 'net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time' is set in
SAP Note 1680803 (the ASE SAP Note) directly.</li>
<li>Check in preinstall and posttrans of the package installation,
if the active tuned profile is still 'saptune', even that this
profile no longer exists. If yes, try to remove it. (bsc#1194688)</li>
</ul>
