CentOS does not publish Errata, so there is no way of showing installable errata for CentOS servers as such don’t exist. Errata are only available for RHEL servers.

Also, you should note that 1.19/3.8 versions are quite old and unsupported by now, currently the latest versions are 2.0/3.15 with 2.1/3.16 coming soon. I recommend that you start planning your upgrade to a supported version.

You should follow the Katello plugin’s upgrade instructions from the manual, starting from version 3.9 and going one version at a time. If this is a VM, make a snapshot after each successful upgrade so you don’t have to start over if one step runs into issues.
Be sure to also read the release notes, deprecations and upgrade warnings for all Foreman and Katello versions (also on the official website) before each upgrade, to make sure there aren’t some changes that you need to be aware of.

ok sure thank you , i will start from upgrading the katello version to 3.9 to begin with and then take it forward.

i saw that there are 5 steps provided on document page to upgrade katello.

Will plan the upgrade !
