Description Victor Sira 2009-05-20 22:00:51 UTC

Description of problem:

One of the methods for channel.software listErrata has an incorrect description ( 3rd one, which has start and end date for selection criteria ). It currently says: "Description:
Returns list of subscribed systems for the given channel label"

It should instead reflect the ability to select erratas given a time range.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Found on Satellite 5.2.

How reproducible:

Always, install 5.2 and check:

Pretty certain we have already addressed this within the 5.3 Sat code base. Going to approve for Brad to review and hopefully confirm fixed to then just move to ON_QA.

Comment 2 Brad Buckingham 2009-05-21 14:45:42 UTC

Correct.  This appears to have already been addressed in Sat 5.3.  Below is the current API doc for channel.software.listErrata containing the start/end date:

Method: listErrata

Description:
List the errata applicable to a channel between startDate and endDate.

Parameters:

    * string sessionKey
    * string channelLabel - channel to query
    * dateTime.iso8601 startDate
    * dateTime.iso8601 endDate

Returns:

    * array:
          o struct - errata
                + int "id" - Errata ID.
                + string "date" - Date erratum was created.
                + string "advisory_synopsis" - Summary of the erratum.
                + string "advisory_type" - Type label such as Security, Bug Fix
                + string "advisory_name" - Name such as RHSA, etc

Moving to ON_QA.
