Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/single/puppet-guide Section Number and Name: 3.7. Configuring Smart Variables from Puppet Classes https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/single/puppet-guide/#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Puppet_Guide-Adding_Puppet_Modules_to_Red_Hat_Satellite_6-Configuring_Smart_Variables_from_Puppet_Classes Describe the issue: The section talks about how you can import the smart variables, with an example module (mymodule). But, it is found that these variables (http_port) get imported under smart class parameters when the puppet class is imported in Satellite gui Suggestions for improvement: 1) It looks like this section should be reframed as How to import Smart Class parameters. 2) Also, the guide does not talk about smart class parameters and there is some confusion on difference between smart class parameters and smart variables. Additional information: NA

Hello, Thanks for pointing to the section. but, what about the smart variables section? https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/single/puppet-guide/#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Puppet_Guide-Adding_Puppet_Modules_to_Red_Hat_Satellite_6-Configuring_Smart_Variables_from_Puppet_Classes I think that it should be renamed as Configuring Smart Class Parameters, as the same procedure leads in importing the smart class parameters. Do you want me to create a separate BZ for that, or that can be included under this BZ.
Assigning to Stephen for review.

Yes, I agree will change that procedure. I have tested the procedures from the beginning of the guide and I can see that you are correct. > > Do you want me to create a separate BZ for that, or that can be included > under this BZ. Replacing the procedure "Configuring Smart Variables from Puppet Classes" with a procedure "Configuring Smart Class Parameters from Puppet Classes" is in the scope of this bug. If you think we need a new section to properly explain "Configuring Smart Class Parameters" then we should raise a new bug to avoid delaying this bugs task (because bug fix usually more urgent than RFE). I noticed some other problems while testing, such as incorrect port number. Will fix that too in this bug. Thank you and sorry for the delay.
