Bug 474534

Tushar, seems the list didn't get attached, perhaps there is an api we could utilize to script the ID swapping?

Rob, 

i sent you the mapping again in a separate mail, currently we used some scripts to swap the urls but those are specific to the clearspace. I am not sure about the structure if the hardware.redhat site, so i wont be able to comment much. 
Please let me know if you need our help in creating some scripts, i can take the talks forward but could not guarantee anything as we are going to start the QA for our next release next week.

Thanks and Regards
Tushar

old to new kbase mapping

seems this kbase mapping is for all kbase articles. I asked nicho for help, to find out hwcert related kbases.

old-format kbase list

there're 383 old-format kbase records in our DB. Not too many I guess :-)

I think we can manually replace these old-format records with the corresponding new IDs. I'll try to do this this afternoon and see how many I can finish in 1hour.

the catalog become really slow now. I don't wanna try in this condition for 1hour. so I tried 10minutes, manually added the new kbase links and removed the old-format kbase links. I finished 7 records and did this very slowly :) I'm optimistic I can do at least 42 records in 1hour.

which means I think we can finish all 383 old-format hwcert related kbase records in : 
    383 / 42 ~=  9.12 < 10 (man*hour)

;-)

this is done today. thanks for BillSun's help. we manually changed those 383 old kbase links to the new ones :)

confirmed with nicho. there're no old-format kbase links in our hwcert records.

I'm going to change the status to verified.

Confirmed, I see 7 continued uses of the old kbase linking:

 187977 - not a hwcert
 205195 - not a hwcert 
 205511 - test hwcert, in dumpster
 367381 - test hwcert, in dumpster
 428736 - hwcert, in dumpster
 456311 - hwcert, in dumpster 
 456319 - hwcert, in dumpster


Tushar, anything left to do here?

Rob

I am not sure what you meant above. Is there still some linking to old urls? If everything has been replaced with the new links, then i consider this as a fixed issue :)

You can close the ticket.. Let it rest in peace for good ;)

Thanks and Regards
Tushar

Tushar,

There are still 7 bugs in Bugzilla that have links to the old kbase URL, 5 of those are garbage thrown away dead certs (you can't delete bugs in BZ's so these will stay but can be ignored) and 2 are regular bugs that aren't hwcerts so you may want to contact the bug owners and see what makes sense with them.  There are no live or active hwcerts with links to the old kbase so I'm going to go ahead and close this.
