packages are rendered for re/registered system none

Description Tom McKay 2011-12-13 17:01:58 UTC 
Description of problem:

After the first time 'subscription-manager register' is run, the installed packages are not re-sent. To trigger the sending of packages, a call to 'subscription-manager clean' must be run.

I would suggest that 'subscription-manager register --force' should force the sending of all info.

This causes problems in katello/headpin Systems->Packages view. If the system is re-registered, no installed packages are listed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.96.17-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. subscription-manager register
2. subscription-manager register --force
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

Edit: Since headpin does not show packages, this only impacts katello.
Comment 3 Alex Wood 2012-01-04 21:47:37 UTC 
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a Katello server: https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/Install
2. Set up a Katello client: https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/GuideSystemRegistrationClient
3. On the client run a subscription-manager register
4. In Katello, go to the Systems tab, click on the system name, and go to the Packages tab.  The list of packages should be populated.
5. Delete the system by ctrl-clicking it and selecting "Remove System(s)"
6. On the client run a subscription-manager register --force
7. In Katello, go back to the Systems tab, click the system name, and go to the Packages tab.  The list of packages is empty.

Expected results:
The list of packages is populated whenever a system is registered.

Verifying cases...

Case 1: New register
[root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# subscription-manager register --username admin --password admin --org ACME_Corporation --env dev
The system has been registered with id: e595ef94-c5cb-477a-95a0-eb8f8c3a8db6 

Case 2: Remove system in Cloud Forms System Engine gui and register from client with force:
[root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# subscription-manager register --username admin --password admin --org ACME_Corporation --env dev --force
The system has been registered with id: 90509c38-ccc5-4234-acfd-97605fb64101 

Case 3: Register from client with --force:
[root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# subscription-manager register --username admin --password admin --org ACME_Corporation --env dev --force
The system with UUID 90509c38-ccc5-4234-acfd-97605fb64101 has been unregistered
The system has been registered with id: 8625e5f9-7197-47fb-b015-b5d870c9b010 

For all three cases, the list of the registered system's packages appear loaded for the newly (re)registered system.  See screenshot.

Moving to VERIFIED.
