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.

Description Mihir Lele 2018-08-23 10:00:04 UTC 
Description of problem:

"Parameters" are missing from the GET hostgroup api output

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.4

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compare the output of the below command from sat 6.3 and sat 6.4. (Make sure that the hostgroup has some parameters like activation key on it)

# curl -s -u admin:redhat -k https://satellite.example.com/api/v2/hostgroups/1 | json_reformat

Actual results:

GET request does not provide the parameters added on a hostgroup.

Expected results:

GET request should provide the parameters added on a hostgroup.

Additional info:

Adding diff output from 6.3 and 6.4:

Comment 1 Peter Vreman 2018-08-23 11:44:31 UTC 
This is an undocumented change that breaks API backwards compatibility.
If changes are made then deprecation time should be given to allow the API users.

For me this is a Showstopper to migrate to Sat6.4 in the future because my Updater scripts relies on this field on the clients code to extact the ActivitionKey. When not found ti aborts. This then ofcourse also prevents the rollout of updated client code.

Therefor the Sat6.4 should introduce a deprecation time to give me time to rollout the change. And as we are Entreprise and require testing and waiting at various tiers (=lifecycle environments) such Rollouts to clients can take easily 6+ months until it is on all servers.
