Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
I think there are no plans for extending global parameters. In future they should be merged to smart variables which supports this already (but currently, smart variables are tied with puppet classes). You could probably use smart variable for this purpose already today, it's just a bit confusing that you need to assign puppet class and use hostgroup matcher. To monitor the unification, you can look watch this upstream ticket http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/12950

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.

I'm using the global parameters to provide a list of hosts consuming the same content. This lets me provide a simple variable for setting up basic clustering.
Example: Add a new host to the MariaDB Galera content view and puppet automatically adds it into the firewall, config, etc.
Name: content_view_hosts
Value:
<% begin -%><% if @host.content_view.system_names -%>[<% @host.content_view.system_names.sort.each do | hostname | -%>'<%= hostname %>',<% end -%>]<% end -%><% rescue => e -%>[]<% end -%>
How would I do this with the unification noted in https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/12950 ?
The Satellite Team is attempting to provide an accurate backlog of bugzilla requests which we feel will be resolved in the next few releases. We do not believe this bugzilla will meet that criteria, and have plans to close it out in 1 month. This is not a reflection on the validity of the request, but a reflection of the many priorities for the product. If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney or your account team. If we do not hear from you, we will close this bug out. Thank you.
@Maneesh,
Here, I am considering list/dictionary nothing but array/hash type.
Yes, with this BZ fix, global parameters will support same types as smart class parameters.
Type list also includes array, hash, json and yaml.
