Description Dhaval Joshi 2023-07-14 11:30:06 UTC 
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.13/html-single/managing_content/index#Resolving_Package_Dependencies_content-management

Section Number and Name: 
7.8. Resolving Package Dependencies

Describe the issue: 
 - The documentation mentions "Note that resolving package dependencies can cause significant delays to Content View promotion"

 
Suggestions for improvement:
 - The content view publish task takes a lot of time as compared to promotion. The CV promote tasks are quicker as compared to the CV publish.

I suggest the below correction:

"Note that resolving package dependencies can cause significant delays in Content View publish tasks"


Additional information:

Red Hat Satellite 6.11, 6.12, and 6.13 documentation mention the same thing.

To add on. 

It's not just the Dep-Solving that is a costly operation. But even without dep-solving enabled, a publish task with few exclude or include filters can prove to be costly 

Without any filters a CV publish would take about a min or three to complete. As soon as we add some ERRATA by date Exclude\INclude filter, That same task can take up to 20\30 mins to complete. 

If this is a known behavior, Then perhaps we should document this as well in the same section, just after the Dep-Solving part
