An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for sapconf provides the following fixes:

  • Sapconf should not change the system settings for kernel.sem, so remove the variables SEM* from it. (bsc#1099101)
  • Correct the SAP Note references in the man pages and in the sysconfig file of the sapconf package. (bsc#1096498)
  • Avoid stopping or disabling uuidd.socket in sapconf as it is mandatory for every SAP application running. (bsc#1093843)
  • Remove hardcoded default value for VSZ_TMPFS_PERCENT. This allows an admin to exclude VSZ_TMPFS settings from the sysconfig file, so the current system value will remain untouched. This value only got used in the previous version, if the variable VSZ_TMPFS_PERCENT was removed from the sapconf configuration file /etc/sysconfig/sapconf. If the value of the variable was only changed (increased or decreased) in the sapconf configuration file everything works fine. (bsc#1093844)
  • Remove the no longer needed sysconfig file.
  • Remove the pagecache references from the sysconfig file.
