When customers see errors while activating new certificates or manifests on the Satellite such as this: ~~~ Certificate specifies 1157 of rhel-server-supplementary non-flex entitlements. There are 2178 non-flex entitlements allocated to non-base org(s) (120 used). You might need to deallocate some entitlements from non-base organization(s). You need to free 1021 entitlements to match the new certificate. ~~~ The customer has to go to the Software Channel Entitlement Counts page and find the channel associated with the channel family mentioned in the error output. However, for many of these channels (mostly the RHEL 5 versions of the channels), the name of the channels are hard to find based on the name of the channel family, especially as they do not follow the formatting of the RHEL 6 and 7 versions of the channels. For example, the "rhel-client-workstation" channel family maps to the "RHEL Desktop Workstation" channel for some reason, which I only figured out through some careful testing. It would save our customers and our support engineers a LOT of time if the channels on this page were searchable by the name of the channel family. Alternatively, if the error message from the output of the activation could point to the exact name of the entitlement (like the messages for monitoring, provisioning, virtualization, etc entitlements do already), that would be a huge time-saver. For example, the output above could become: ~~~ Certificate specifies 1157 of rhel-server-supplementary non-flex entitlements. There are 2178 non-flex entitlements allocated to non-base org(s) (120 used). You might need to deallocate some entitlements from non-base organization(s). You need to free 1021 entitlements to match the new certificate. In the WebUI, the entitlement is named RHEL Supplementary. ~~~
/rhn/channels/software/Entitlements.do page contains list of channel available families according to the Sat5 certificate. They're searchable. By clicking any of the channel families, list of associated channels is displayed. The only deficiency I see is channel families are displayed and searchable according to its full name, not label as rhn-satellite-activate returns channel family labels. Do I miss anything?
Hey Tomas, That's correct. We'd like a way to either be able to search by the labels that rhn-satellite-activate returns, or we'd like the output of rhn-satellite-activate to return the full names of the channels. Thank you :)
Created attachment 1328080 [details] SAT-5.8 patch to entitlements.jsp Patch to add the label as a column, and make it the filterable entity
Created attachment 1350433 [details] Failed entitlements page search Tested on spacewalk-java-2.5.14-103.el6sat. Searching by entitlement name works, searching by channel label doesn't. See the attached picture. Upper part is a search for an entitlement by a name - this works the way it always did. Lower part is a search for an entitlement by a channel label. No entitlement is found. Neither search for complete string nor search for substring (as in the picture) does work. FailedQA

Will add changes to the admin-page as well, but I don't think this is actually 'fails qa' so much as 'requirements fail' :)

I looked at the other entitlements page automatically. Good thing is that the other page needed the same fix as the entitlement page that was fixed originally :-) Anyway, I have tested both pages now, and I was able to search by entitlement label on both of them. Channel labels is now displayed on both pages. It is now possible to search ONLY by labels, not by names, which is actually a good thing in my opinion. VERIFIED
Forgot the version - verified on spacewalk-java-2.5.14-105.el6sat.
