Description of problem: When deleting large number of system profiles (large meaning several thousands), there is a random ISE when displaying https://<sat-server>/rhn/systems/Overview.do page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-java-2.0.2-115 How reproducible: randomly, not too frequent Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register a lot of systems to a Satellite server (nearly 6000 profiles in my case). 2. Select all the profiles, add them to SSM, and delete them. 3. While the delete operation is shown as In Progress in System Set Manager -> Status, click around in the Systems page. Do "Select All", go to "Systems Groups" and then back to "Systems" page, do "Unselect All" and then "Select All" again, and so on. It's rather random, but sooner or later you will get an ISE. There is the following traceback in the /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out: 2017-06-30 07:50:18,941 [TP-Processor5] ERROR com.redhat.rhn.frontend.servlets.SessionFilter - Error during transaction.

Additional info: Currently tested only on ORA backend. I will try to reproduce this on PG as well, and will try to reproduce on higher (5.7 and 5.8) versions of Satellite.
We have re-reviewed this bug, as part of an ongoing effort to improve Satellite/Proxy feature and bug updates, review and backlog. This is a low priority bug and has no currently open customer cases. While this bug may still valid, we do not see it being implemented prior to the EOL of the Satellite 5.x product. As such, this is being CLOSED DEFERRED. Closing now to help set customer expectations as early as possible. You are welcome to re-open this bug if needed.
