Description Jiří Mikulka 2012-06-12 09:53:16 UTC

Description of problem:
In WebUI one is unable to change count of channel entitlements for an organization when 500 channels is displayed (only in this case)! It results in ISE + traceback in /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out and channel entitlements remain unchanged.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 5.4.1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in WebUI - admin tab, select some organization, then click Subscriptions, Software Channel Entitlements
2. display 500 channels per page
3. change regular/flex entitlements of some channel and click Update Organization
4. ISE (or unchanged entitlements) should appear
  
Actual results:
ISE (or unchanged entitlements) appear + traceback in /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out:

Comment 1 Jiří Mikulka 2012-06-20 12:36:17 UTC

*** Bug 831145 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Tomas Lestach 2012-08-15 12:33:50 UTC

This BZ is tracked against 541. The fix is present in upstream, more details in Bug 831145

Comment 7 Tomas Lestach 2013-01-14 09:30:52 UTC

This issue was resolved in Satellite 5.5 within Bug 831145 and most probably won't be resolved in Satellite 5.4.

For GSS the recommended fix is to add
-Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.MAX_COUNT=1024
to
JAVA_OPTS
in
/etc/tomcat[56]/tomcat[56].conf file.

Restart of RHN Satellite/tomcat is required.
