Description:

This update for saptune fixes the following issues:

  • saptune package version update
  • remove note 1868829 from solution S4HANA-APPSERVER as it is a HANA DB note and was added by accident (bsc#1226093)
  • for verify and simulate output table, wrap content of the columns 'actual', 'expected' and 'override', if they exceed a width of 30 characters (e.g. net.ipv4.ip_local_reserved_ports)
  • support inline comments in /etc/sysconfig/saptune
  • change handling of the performance options. Check, if the settings are supported in the get-Functions too. This should fix the problem with some special Azure VMs (E20d_v5) on newer SLES SPs (jsc#SAPSOL-110)
