Description Anand Jambhulkar 2018-11-01 05:16:56 UTC
Q1 - What is the exact nature of the problem trying to be solved with this request?

A1 - The logic behind Satellite’s auto-attachment of entitlements is opaque at best and often makes poor decisions.



Q2 - List the business requirements.

A2 -  We’d like to spend less time fixing entitlement issues resulting from satellite mis-entitling our systems.



Q3 - Do you have specific timeline dependencies?

A3 - As soon as reasonably possible. I find myself untangling entitlement issues every other month and would like to not have to do that, but otherwise impair our ability to function.



Q4 - Can you please explain us the what are the functional requirements? If test cases can be provided this would be even more ideal.

A4 - He referred to the following BZ - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401106



Q5 - Would you be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

A5 - Yes.
