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.

Comment 1 Justin Sherrill 2018-07-20 15:04:52 UTC 
Can you provide the exact steps you took for:

1. Host was already removed from candlepin and pulp DB
2. Manually removed from foreman DB
Comment 2 Jan Jansky 2018-07-20 15:22:16 UTC 
1. I cannot because when customer created the case it was already missing from candlepin and pulp DB
2. su - postgres -c "psql foreman"

delete from host_status where host_id = x;
delete from katello_subscription_facet_activation_keys where subscription_facet_id = y;
delete from katello_subscription_facets where host_id = x;
delete from nics where host_id = x;
delete from hosts where id = x;
Comment 3 Justin Sherrill 2018-07-20 15:28:55 UTC 
Jan, 

Your comment in the case:


After some investigation we found out that changes which should be present in your version are not, i applied those changes into your code and we tested functionality, registration seems to work, please feel free to test it more. I will discuss with developers why is this part of code not applied. 

makes me think they weren't actually fully on 6.3.2.  Can you have them upload a foreman-debug?
Comment 5 Jan Jansky 2018-07-20 15:42:05 UTC 
Justin,
i checked on the server file /opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/katello-3.4.5.74/app/services/katello/registration_manager.rb which as far as i know is the only file relevant to this issue, it came from 

tfm-rubygem-katello-3.4.5.74-1.el7sat.noarch.rpm

which correspond to 

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2018:1950
Comment 6 Justin Sherrill 2018-07-20 16:01:46 UTC 
You guys are correct, this change is completely missing from 6.3.2 (and 6.3.3) it appears that there was some issue with the release that caused this fix to be missed.  Coupled with the fact that we could never reproduce internally, our qe wasn't able to catch it.  

I will work with our release team to correct the problem.

Comment 14 jcallaha 2018-08-03 18:48:38 UTC 
Verified in Satellite 6.3.3 Snap 2.

I performed over 4000 host registrations, and did not encounter this issue.

Additionally, I checked the file and the expected changes are in place.

-bash-4.2# find / -name registration_manager.rb
/opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/katello-3.4.5.78/app/services/katello/registration_manager.rb
-bash-4.2# 
-bash-4.2# catline 99 /opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/katello-3.4.5.78/app/services/katello/registration_manager.rb
        host.subscription_facet.update_subscription_status(::Katello::SubscriptionStatus::UNKNOWN)
Comment 15 Logan Kuhn 2018-08-06 14:55:28 UTC 
I'm in the process of testing Satellite 6.3 in our environment, is there a way I could test that update in our environment?  It'd make my life a lot easier getting it approved.

I'll get you the RPMs.
