Description Justin Sherrill 2020-02-04 17:04:01 UTC
Description of problem:

katello-agent is going away in satellite 7.0 and deprecation warnings need to be added throughout the application for it

Things needing the warnings: Api, cli, and UI

In the UI, we'd need them on the content host details pages for package and errata actions, as well as for bulk package/errata actions

Comment 3 Justin Sherrill 2020-02-26 21:09:49 UTC
Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/29200 from this bug

Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2020-03-02 23:05:24 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/29200 has been resolved.

Comment 8 tstrych 2020-03-09 15:37:48 UTC
I was able to test UI

Hosts -> Content hosts: 
a) Bulk action - manage errata
b) Bulk action - manage packages
c) content host -> packages ( Actions, Installed, Applicable )
d) content host -> errata
e) register content host

API and cli still pending, I unsuccessfully tried to reach the api_deprecation_warning.

Comment 9 tstrych 2020-03-09 16:17:43 UTC
After talk with developers, there is a problem with seeing deprecation message in logs. (during api and cli calls)
This problem needs to be fixed, validation failed.

Comment 11 Justin Sherrill 2020-03-12 13:19:25 UTC
moving to ON_DEV now that https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1812137 is too

Comment 12 tstrych 2020-03-16 18:47:15 UTC
I was able to verify CLI and API now. 

API call:

host bulk actions - example I used for install content
curl --header "Accept:application/json,version=2" --header "Content-Type:application/json" --request PUT --user username:password --insecure --data '{"host_id":"<id>","organization_id":"<ord_id>","content_type":"package","included":{"search":"<hostname of content machine>"},"content":["<package_list>"]}'  https://<satellite hostname>/api/hosts/bulk/install_content


host packages - example I used for remove
curl --header "Accept:application/json,version=2" --header "Content-Type:application/json" --request PUT --user username:password --insecure --data '{"host_id":"<id>","packages":["<package_name>"]}' https://<satellite hostname>/api/hosts/<id>/packages/remove


CLI: 
host bulk actions - example for remove:
1.(create host collection) 
hammer host-collection create --host-ids <id> --organization-id <org_id> --name <hc_name>
2.make a bulk action
hammer host-collection package remove --packages <list of packages> --organization-id <id>

host packages:
hammer host package upgrade --host-id <id> --packages <list of packages>

In production log:
DEPRECATION WARNING: Remote actions using katello-agent are deprecated and will be removed in Katello 4.0.  You may consider switching to Remote Execution.
