Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/936887 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP recommends running SAP software on supported Linux distributions to ensure full vendor maintenance and security. For SAP software installation on Linux platforms, such as Red Hat, Novell/SUSE, and Oracle Linux, one should reference the maintenance end dates provided by these vendors to ensure they are within the supported cycle. SAP's compatibility with various Linux distributions and their end of maintenance dates can be checked via partner websites and SAP's Platform Availability Matrix. Upgrading to newer releases within the same distribution is advised for extended support, and for correct Linux distribution identification, update the SAPOSCOL program.
