Description ashwini ladke 2013-05-25 11:55:48 UTC

Need more detailed document on Channel Management which explain each option available for clone channel management with an example to clarify what exactly each option such as "Add","clone" and "sync" exactly do.

maybe an example will be quite helpful for the same.

For Satellite 5.5 the documentation is currently available at following link:
=====
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.5/html-single/Channel_Management_Guide/index.html#sect-Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-Channel_Management_Guide-Custom_Channel_and_Package_Management-Manage_Software_Channel_Details

HI Ashwini,

Here are updated links:

http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.6/html/Getting_Started_Guide/sect-Getting_Started_Guide-Channel_Management-Creating_and_Managing_Custom_Channels-Cloning_Software_Channels.html

So the description:Red Hat Satellite Server Channel Administrators also have the ability to clone software channels for easy package association. Cloning offers a complete replica of another channel, enabling immediate association of appropriate packages and errata with a custom software channel. 

does not help?

Hmmn. We will need to put this feedback in for changes to  Satellite next since it is too late for significant changes to 5.6. GA is already in October 1 and we are on freeze.

Cheers,
Athene

ACK, this isn't a blocker for 5.6 but we'll keep it open for 5.7.
