What failed with each of those methods? Any or all of them should have worked. > We are investigating using the zypper method this time.

I'm not sure if it will or not, because you used "cut" to hide whether or not those products are listed as installed or not. On my SLES11 SP2 test system, I see this: # zypper se -t product Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Summary | Type --+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------+-------- i | SUSE_SLES | SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 | product | SUSE_SLES-SP2-migration | SUSE_SLES Service Pack 2 Migration Product | product | SUSE_SLES-SP3-migration | SUSE_SLES Service Pack 3 Migration Product | product So, I have both the "migration" products _available_ but neither of them are installed.
