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).

Document URL:

Section Number and Name:
11.2. Remote Execution Workflow
Describe the issue:
If "Satellite WebUI -> Administer -> Settings -> Remote Execution -> Prefer registered through Capsule for remote execution" is set to "Yes", then all the remote execution jobs on the registered host is executed by the Capsule to which the host is registered.
The section "11.2. Remote Execution Workflow" in mentioned documentation URL talks about following: "When you run a remote job on hosts, for every host, Satellite performs the following actions to find a remote execution Capsule to use.".
However there is no mention of "Prefer registered through Capsule for remote execution" setting anywhere in the documentation which plays a major role in finding remote execution Capsule to use. If "Prefer registered through Capsule for remote execution" setting is set to "Yes", it gets the priority above all the other conditions which are used to find remote execution Capsule.
Suggestions for improvement: Inclusion of "Prefer registered through Capsule for remote execution" setting in the above mentioned section within documentation.
