+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1305040 +++

Proposed title of this feature request  
User can control the information send from Satellite to capsule.

Who is the customer behind the request?  
Account: name : Fidessa group plc
and acct #626489
  
TAM customer: no  
SRM customer: no  
Strategic: yes  
  
What is the nature and description of the request?  
Till now Satellite user cant control the information which is sent from Satellite to each capsule. Customer's Capsules are globally based in different time zones over limited bandwidth links.
In this scenario there should be an option to control over the information send from Satellite to capsule.

Does the customer have any specific time line dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  
  Customer cannot deploy any Capsules in Production until this is fixed.
  
Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?  
No.

in customer's words (attached Case # 01579041, Fidessa group plc, strategic):

"As far as I can see there is no fine grained control over when information is sent from Satellite to each capsule, it just gets put in the job queue and Satellite just does any data transfers when it decides. Whilst this is fine in a lab situation, in the real world when Capsules are globally based in different time zones often over limited bandwidth links, this method of transfer is not acceptable. When will there be fine grained control over the Satellite to multiple Capsule communications?"

This bug report previously had all acks and release flag approved.
However since at least one of its acks has been changed, the
release flag has been reset to ? by the bugbot (pm-rhel).  The
ack needs to become approved before the release flag can become
approved again.

PM/Engineering/CEE Satellite RFE review status 2016/02/18:
This feature request has been accepted and aligned to some (yet uncommitted, likely post 6.3) future release of Satellite 6.

I have another company (Fidelity UK), who would benefit from this. They have asked to raise an RFE, however it is an exact duplicate of this.

--- Additional comment from myork on 20161122T11:45:28

Any (rough, no-commital) idea when this may appear upstream ?

@rich, is there a dupe of this some place else?

> @rich, is there a dupe of this some place else?

Yes, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1434051. I'll close 1434051 as a dupe of this BZ as this one has the higher PM score.

Based on discussion with PM, the behavior requested by bug 1454578 would resolve this one as well.  Since this bug is older, we're closing bug 1454758; however, when solving this one, please consider the solution propoosed there.

e.g. -> Disable automatic capsule content sync when publishing new CV .

This RFE will also add support for controlling policy for if and when capsule syncs occur.

Currently Capsule syncs are always automatic after Content View publish and promotions and users may not want this automatic synchronization to occur and desire to instead control this manually.

Users may also wish to have a schedule in place, much like our existing Sync Plans but also apply to Capsule Syncs so they can know when the syncs occur.

--- Additional comment from bmidwood on 20181113T21:10:36

Maybe just a setting - don't sync to capsule

--- Additional comment from mmccune on 20181113T21:12:01

At the minimum level, ideally we could just offer a setting to disable the auto sync to capsules when a CV publishes or promotes.

Let the user control it via the API/CLI/UI when they want to sync.

I'm proposing this for 6.4.z (6.5.0) as it is almost complete upstream, is a small setting+change and is effecting a good# of customers at scale who are in the 'at risk' category or have been complaining about this issue for a long time.
