zypper is not the same as rpm.

See [http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper\_usage#Update\_management](http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage#Update_management) for a list  
of update-related zypper commands but essentially, for SLES, commands are:

zypper refresh|ref  
zypper list-updates|lu  
zypper list-updates|lu -t patch  
zypper update|up -t patch
