[BESAdmin-Announcements] IBM BigFix Patch releases native tools site for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM BigFix Patch is pleased to announce the release of the native tools
site, named "Patches for SLE 12 Native Tools", for SUSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop 12 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.
This site uses Zypper, which is SLE's default package manager, and contains
content from the following channels for SLE 12 x86_64 systems:
         SLED12-Pool
         SLED12-Updates
         SLES12-Pool
         SLES12-Updates

Ensure that you are subscribed to these supported channels if you are using
custom repositories.

Actions to take:
If you are using custom repositories in your environment, ensure that you
register your endpoints to the supported channels listed above by using the
SLE Custom Repository Management dashboard.
If you are not using custom repositories, complete the following actions
depending on your experience with BigFix patching:
         If you are new to BigFix patching:
            Subscribe to the new site from the License Overview dashboard.
            Register the SUSE download plug-in and specify the mirror
            server settings from the Manage Download Plug-ins dashboard,
            which is available from the Patching Support site. To use the
            Novell mirror server, enter https://nu.novell.com.
         If you have used BigFix patching before:
            Subscribe to the new site from the License Overview dashboard.
            Upgrade to the latest SUSE download plug-in (version 2.11.0.0 )
            from the Manage Download Plug-ins dashboard, which is available
            from the Patching Support site.
            If you have never configured the mirror server settings of the
            download plug-in before, you must configure it from the Manage
            Download Plug-ins dashboard because the SLE 12 content requires
            mirror credentials. Enter the following in the Mirror URL field
            to use the Novell mirror server: https://nu.novell.com.
   Note:  If you want to use a mirror server other than Novell's, ensure
   that you enter a well-formed URL, which contains a protocol and a host
   name.

Patches for SLE 12 Native Tools site, version 8
