Description Stephen Herr 2015-03-20 16:54:33 UTC 
A timing window exists where it is possible that Auto-Errata Updates are not scheduled for servers they are applicable to.

The Taskomatic ErrataQueue job is the thing that schedules the update actions for servers that have Auto Errata Updates turned on. However, it depends on the data updated by the ErrataCache job to know which servers the errata are applicable to. Consequently, ErrataQueue will not start processing a channel if ErrataCache is still running on that channel.

However, the ErrataCache worker removes the job from the queue for the channel it's working on before it is finished. This creates a timing window that potentially allows ErrataQueue to process the channel before EC is done and decide (based on the incomplete ErrataCache data) that the errata is not applicable to servers that it actually is applicable to, causing them to not get the errata update action scheduled.

A pull request accidentally undid the commit in comment 1, re-doing in Spacewalk master:

And cherry-picking into Spacewalk-2.3:
