The Leapp utility is a framework for updating and upgrading operating systems as well as applications. The utility's component packages enable the creation of different workflows into profiles for updating software.
Currently, the Leapp utility is used to upgrade the operating systems only, specifically, from the current Oracle Linux 7 release to the current Oracle Linux 8 version. The procedures in this document do not apply to and are unsupported on any other operating systems or versions.
