Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release. Rich (or anyone) Can you provide a use case and example for this? Looking at --help I see: --delete Delete entities instead of importing them Default: false Why would you do that? The existing section only describes how, not why. http://file.bne.redhat.com/~daobrien/Satellite6.2-dev/Transition_Guide/ 3.7.2. Importing Users "Deleting Imported Users" thanks Bumped the list for info. Based on Comment 7 perhaps we could turn this over to Peter for consideration for the Hammer Ref Guide? Peter? adahms commented he'd review this and other hammer "need-info" bugs to determine where bets to put them. I agree that this content is a good candidate for the Transition Guide, where users will be most likely to use these commands. We can add a link to the Transition Guide from the CLI Guide where necessary, but the scope of this bug shall cover the documentation of this flag in the Transition Guide. Here's the plan: Because --delete works with any entity now, including "all", let's take the subsection "Deleting Users" out, and create a new entry in the FAQ about "undoing" an import. We can include info about "--delete <entity>" and "--delete all", include the extended info in this bug, and use the existing Deleting Imported Users subsection as an example. The new entry can include the why, the how, example scenario, and the above-mentioned example. Hi David, Thank you for the needinfo request - this sounds like a good plan of attack to me! Kind regards, Andrew Ack from Grant so I'll give it a quick once-over before peer review. Assigning Peter as the QA contact. Peter - could you take a look at the changes for this bug? Thanks Peter. This content is now live on the Customer Portal. Closing. |
Description of problem: Left-over from 6.0 review: > 3.6.3 "Importing Users" > > "Deleting imported Users" - you can use --delete with any command (including > all, now). Do we want to describe it more generally? > Prefer to make this 6.1 or async release post-GA. I think it needs more than a casual mention, and I need to know just what it does, and potential dangers.
