@garik - Can you check your production.log for errors about unable to retrieve release versions?

(Note that I am adding code to propagate this error message up to the user.)

@tom: sure thing, i'll reproduce with following scenario:

importing manifest; enabling RHEL 6.2; enable RHEL 6.3; promoting the whole product (with that repos) to some env; register a system; refer to rhsm gui and try to list the "Releases"

in case of fail: i'll will provide with katello-debug logs.

# REOPEN

Failed. Following is the scenario:
---
1. imported manifest (with RHEL product)
2. enabled 6Server; 6.3; 6.2
3. promoted the product to the env
4. register a system (UI - skip the autosubscribe option)
5. refer to the rhsm gui and click preferences. 
6. list the "Releases" - *empty* (but selectable/enabled)

checked on:

screenshot - empty releases

attached is the screenshot illustrating empty "Releases"

Garik,

Please attach /var/log/katello/production.log (I'm looking for error messages).

Also, where can I find that version of subscription-manager-gui?

Thanks!
Tom

katello-debug logs

Tom,

Please find the whole katello-debug tarball attached.

if you register (as I did in my case) to RHN Classic you will find the proper one from the base RHEL6Server channel.
thanks
Garik

P.S. and i confirm, it fails the same way as described above: comment#7

After some digging, this is not a regression and the fix submitted is in fact working.

The original BZ was that katello was not sending the system's _current_ release version at all and this was causing sub-mgr-gui to disable the drop down choice in the UI. As you will note, however, the problem you're seeing is not that the UI is disabled but that it has no choices available.

You can confirm the release version is in fact being passed by changing it in the katello System Details to a value and then checking sub-mgr-gui to see that it is reflected there.

As for there being release version choices available in sub-mgr-gui, that comes directly from the CDN and not through katello at all. From the developers: "You need to be 1) registered 2) rhel 3) subscribed to a rhel prod 4) be pointing at a cdn that works 5) that cdn needs the have the 'listing' file mirror 6) various product/content tags need to match." You can confirm this by registering your system, getting it "green" for subscriptions, installing a product w/ yum, and then checking the available releases.

Unless you have further questions, please return this BZ to VERIFIED at your convenience.

Thanks!
Tom

# COMMENT

So the scenario (after clarifying it more with Tom in irc):

register the system
through Katello GUI change its release to something "6.2 or 6Server"
launch rhsm gui and assure that there is the dropbox with 6.2 choice value in it.

Moving it to VERIFIED as I confirm: that I can see that on RHSM gui.
