RFE: let errata.getdetails API return errata id
Last modified: 2015-01-13 05:18:57 EST
Description of problem: It would be nice to have the errata id returned by the errata.getDetails api call making it easier to populate an array which can then be scheduled. Without this it is quite difficult to use system.scheduleApplyErrata as it uses an array of errata id's with no real easy way to get them. The "advisory name" is used as input with other calls so this seems a wee bit inconsistent to use with say a file of system names to apply errata to without parsing each system to get and then match the errata id's to advisory names for scheduling.
