zypper up -t patch

Step 2: Manually OS upgrade to openSUSE-15.4

- run the following commands, to add new repositories

wget https://update.cryptshare.com/cryptshare/scripts/addRepo-15.4.sh

sh addRepo-15.4.sh

- run the following command, to perform the OS upgrade

zypper dup --download-in-advance

- wait for the process is finishing

- run the commands

sync

reboot
