Thanks for Expert - David. This method works. We also look for a way to use SuSE Manager

This is using SuSE Enterprise Server 11 with SP3. We wanted to upgrade to SP4. However, we also worry if the existing application and database may not work properly in SP4, and need to revert change. We have both the 11 with SP3 and 11 with SP4 ISO. I know that one way to start the upgrade is, booting the server with this SP4 ISO, and install until complete. After the system reboot, SP4 is there.<br />
<br />
Any other method to upgrade? is better if the upgrade allows to revert back to SP3. Does &quot;zypper&quot; support upgrade?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
