Scenario: System has not checked into RHN in a while. An errata is released that applies to it. A week later, the errata has not been applied (of course, the system has not checked in) but auto-errata update has scheduled the errata application. Here is how various pages in the webui reflect this scenario currently (RHN 500): - /rhn/errata/details/SystemsAffected.do? ('Affected Systems' tab for the errata) says 'no systems' - /network/systems/details/history/pending.pxt ('Events > Pending' tab for the SDC of the system) lists 'errata update scheduled by (none)' <= for the errata. scheduled on the same day the errata was released. - /rhn/systems/details/ErrataList.do ('Software > Errata' tab for the SDC of the system) does *not* list the errata in question. Lists other erratas though, with the clock icon to indicate they are pending. However, today is 3/14, the errata in our example was released 3/8, the most recent errata listed on this page is 1/11 - /rhn/systems/details/packages/UpgradeablePackages.do ('Software > Packages > Upgrade' tab for SDC) just to verify, errata does not show up on this list. errata is for evolution and no evolution upgrades are listed here. - /rhn/errata/AllErrata.do (all errata page) errata is shown on this screen, but the 'systems' column says there are 0 systems that it applicable to. How about our system that has it pending? perhaps the column should list pending and still applicable? - /network/systems/details/history/event.pxt ('events > pending' tab in sdc) shows the errata is scheduled / queued and not yet picked up by system Note that the errata in question was released pre-RHN500.
So checking things this morning for the system in question: - /rhn/errata/details/SystemsAffected.do? OK - lists machine - /network/systems/details/history/pending.pxt No pending events - /rhn/systems/details/ErrataList.do OK - wireshark is listed - /rhn/systems/details/packages/UpgradeablePackages.do OK - wireshark is listed - /rhn/errata/AllErrata.do Machine count appears to be correct - /network/systems/details/history/event.pxt Hmmm, I can't find anything here. I was expecting to find the scheduling of wireshark? Perhaps this is the only remaining issue? Otherwise, looks very good :)
this bug seems all set except that the errata action was not scheduled. since that issue is captured in bug 232341, I'm going to close this bug out.
