sorry but i have desktop version of suse and i can tell you about that ..
zypper is the name and here is what it's man says
"zypper is a command-line interface to ZYPP system management library.
It can be used to install, update, remove software, manage installation
sources, perform various searches, and more.

zypper is designed to be compatible with rug, which is a command-line
interface to the ZENworks Linux Management (ZLM) agent. Compared to
rug, zypper does not need the ZLM daemon to run, and is intented to
provide more and improved functionality."

* 1) YaST Online Update (YOU)

* 3) rug
*4) by using "Patch CD update"
