Problem

You receive an error message "Unable to find a valid SUSE repo in the agent machine." while installing the patches or scanning the systems on your network computers using Patch Manager Plus.

Cause

In cloud / direct download cases, it is important to keep a list of repositories enabled in the machine to download offline meta files and patches. This issue can happen due to no enabled valid SUSE repositories found in the machine, against a list of repositories which are supported.

Resolution

The following steps will help in resolution:

  1. Run the command: sudo zypper --xmlout --no-refresh repos -u to list the number of enabled repositories in the machine.
  2. Use Zypper to enable the default repositories in the machine, except Debug or Source.
  3. Run the command: zypper mr -e <repo_name> to enable the repositories using Zypper.
