But when I want to install some application then "zypper" tell me:
Code:
Warning: Repository 'openSUSE-Leap-42.1-Update-Non-Oss' appears to be outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.
Reading installed packages...
I guess some parts of my system not upgraded!!!
Any idea?

You're also missing all the other opensuse 42.3 repos, if you only added the update repo.
Opensuse 42.3 is not a rolling release. The update repo only updates the oss repo so in your list of repos , all the repos pointing to 42.1 should be changed to 42.3.
You should also be aware that 42.3 reaches end of support soon (January, I think). You may want to 'leap' straight to 15, which, believe it or not, is newer than 42.3!

The way it turned out you should be reading 42.x as to be 14.x as the sequence was:
Code:
13.2 - 42.1 - 42.2 - 42.3 - 15.0
BTW: the expiration date for 42.3 is 2019-06-30, so it has a little more then 6 months to go.

It depends. Some of the community repos can pick up and continue but it can't be guaranteed. As far as opensuse is concerned, it means no further support.

In general "minor" (that is .<something>) releases have a lifetime of support of 18 months (only). From the openSUSE website:
Code:
Each Leap Major Release (42, 15, etc.) is expected to be maintained for at least 36 months, until the next major version of Leap is available.
A Leap Minor Release (42.1, 42.2, etc.) is expected to be released annually. Users are expected to upgrade to the latest minor release within 6 months of its availability, leading to a maintenance life cycle of 18 months.
Note: within a major version you are expected to follow up on the minor releases, so i.e. major release 42 is only supported as minor release 42.3 by now and "major" 15 currently is identical to "minor" 15.0, which will be supported until nov 2019 (but 15.1 will have been released before that).
And the community effort Evergreen has been discontinued due to a lack of manpower (maintainers), the last Evergreen release was the continuation of 13.1 so end of support by openSUSE nowadays means end of support PERIOD!
