Description Peter Gervase 2019-03-25 19:40:58 UTC
1. Proposed title of this feature request 
[RFE] as part of an upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4, the /etc/sysconfig/foreman-tasks should get copied to /etc/sysconfig/dynflowd


3. What is the nature and description of the request? 
Related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1649433 , when you upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4, the /etc/sysconfig/dynflowd file should get created and populated with the contents from /etc/sysconfig/foreman-tasks


4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) 
Tunings set in foreman-tasks are lost during the upgrade


5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional
requirements here) 
If you upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 and the dynflowd file gets created with the correct tunings from the old foreman-tasks file


6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer
can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
If you upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 and the dynflowd file gets created with the correct tunings from the old foreman-tasks file, this is successfully implemented.


7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla? 
No


10. List any affected packages or components. 
foreman-maintain, foreman


11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if
implemented?
Yes

We need to add foreman-tasks's /etc/sysconfig/dynflowd to be managed by the installer and customized in the custom-heira.yaml file so we can preserve settings during upgrades (major and minor).

Comment 6 Mike McCune 2019-05-17 21:21:31 UTC
this needs to be available as an installer parameter:

--foreman-plugin-tasks-executor-count=2

Comment 7 Eric Helms 2021-05-12 17:31:39 UTC
The release of Satellite 6.8 introduced Sidekiq based Dynflow which dropped the use of the dynflowd service and environment configuration file. I am therefore opting to close this current release.
