RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 2 John Sefler 2022-10-05 22:06:20 UTC 
Pre-testing (attempts to attach/auto-attach when in sca is enabled should inform us that "Simple Content Access (SCA) is enabled.")....

[root@kvm-06-guest07 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager

Ignoring the request to auto-attach. Attaching subscriptions is disabled for organization "13267661" because Simple Content Access (SCA) is enabled.

Verified: Tested



CASE attach --auto:

[root@kvm-06-guest07 ~]# subscription-manager attach --pool=2c9456e0825caaa901825e635735039f
Ignoring request to attach. It is disabled for org "13267661" because of the content access mode setting.

Verified: FailedQA                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Expected:                                                     because Simple Content Access (SCA) is enabled.
or to be more consistent with the auto-attach grammar cases above...
Expected: Ignoring the request to attach. Attaching subscriptions is disabled for organization "13267661" because Simple Content Access (SCA) is enabled.


It looks like the expected message was updated for the auto-attach case, but not the manual attach case.
Comment 3 John Sefler 2022-10-11 18:27:48 UTC 
Pre-testing another build...

[root@kvm-01-guest06 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.28.32+16.gff72d27f7-1.git.0.34075f9.x86_64

[root@kvm-01-guest06 ~]# rpm -q --changelog subscription-manager | egrep "2094942|2097672"
- 2097672: Fixed expected message for manual attach case (jajerome)
- 2097672: [1.28] Improve warning message (auto-attach in SCA mode)
- 2097672: [RFE][1.28] Improve the message, when SCA is enabled

  ^^^^^^^ Note that the changelog is referencing the depends-on rhel-9.2 target bug 2097672 rather than this rhel-8.8 target bug 2094942.  (It's the same fix for both releases)
