Dear All,

Day Greetings,

We are implementing the SAP HANA on Suse Linux (SUSE Linux SP 4 For SAP) , While Zypper update getting message "Errors occurred while restoring the repository configuration.

Parse error: repoindex.xml[1] Document is empty" Even while updating the repository getting the same message.

Also Anyone can help for SLES repository list for SAP, Because of this we are not able to implement the SAP.

Please Ignore any typo Error.

Your Prompt response is highly Appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
