This field shows the names of the products that the system is eligible for. In addition, a new field, Suggested, has been added to facilitate compliance and provide parity with the graphical user interface (GUI). (BZ#996993, BZ#1008557)	Story Points:	---

Description Matthew Mosesohn 2013-08-14 12:48:50 UTC

Description of problem:
Adding Red Hat OpenStack is quite difficult for certain corner cases, such as Red Hat Employee Subscriptions. It should be easy to tell subscription-manager to list the required product ID that my system is eligible for and contains a particular product inside. In this case, I want 'Red Hat OpenStack', but I may have some cryptic title in the productName (or even dozens of entries that don't!) which may or may not contain the desirable ambrosia within.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.1.23.1-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. subscription-manager list --available
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
A list of products and subproducts that I can parse or search explicitly.

Additional info:
This capability is already in python-rhsm and is in the JSON returned to the client, but it's just not used by subscription-manager.

Comment 1 Perry Myers 2013-08-14 13:02:27 UTC

Matt, can you give an example (mock up) of what the subscription-manager command would look like and what the desired output would be?

Comment 3 Matthew Mosesohn 2013-08-14 13:16:57 UTC

Proposed improvement: list option --verbose
# subscription-manager list --available --verbose

Comment 6 Carter Kozak 2013-09-27 14:14:49 UTC

This feature should be included in rhel 6.5
Additionally, I am working on a --match-installed option for list --available in rhel7

VERIFIED: Notice that among the list of available subscriptions, a new field caled "Provides" now shows you the names of the engineering product(s) that the subscription will cover once it is attached to the system.

The notion of a search and verbose function are being considered as a future feature.  For RHEL65, the new "Provides" field will always be printed among the subscription-manager list of --available subscriptions.
