Description Dimitar Yordanov 2012-07-28 22:06:24 UTC

Description of problem:
API call "channel.software.mergeErrata" behave not as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 5.4.1
Satellite 5.5.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. satellite-sync -c rhel-x86_64-server-5
2. Create custom channel : test_merge_errata
3. Execute the following script

import sys, xmlrpclib
RHN_SERVER='https://sat-server@rehat.com/rpc/api'
RHN_USER='admin'
RHN_PASS='xxxxx'

client = xmlrpclib.Server(RHN_SERVER, verbose=0)
key = client.auth.login(RHN_USER, RHN_PASS)

CHANN='test_merge_errata'
client.channel.software.mergeErrata(key,'rhel-x86_64-server-5',CHANN)
  
Actual results:
The api call retuns list of erratas were supposed to be merget to the custom channel but actually there are no erratas in "test_merge_errata"

Expected results:
All erratas from rhel-x86_64-server-5 are merged to "test_merge_errata".


Additional info:
Probably a regression.According to JUnit test
http://svn.rhndev.redhat.com/viewcvs/trunk/qa/rpcapi/600/java/src/com/redhat/rhn/rpc/api/channel/software/mergeErrata.java?rev=205855&view=markup

as some moment it was working.

Comment 1 Tomas Lestach 2012-07-30 14:00:56 UTC

Errata get merged asynchronously on the background. The cloned errata aren't available immediately after cloning. It takes some time, until they get merged, especially, if you merge over 2450 errata.

Closing as NOTABUG.
