Description of problem: During 530 testing it has been reported that: "ongoing update events are not displayed under the tab SCHEDULE." Looking further: Scheduled events are not displayed in https://satellite.example.org/rhn/schedule/PendingActions.do only in the per System events. Further notes: - Logged in as a Satellite Admin/Org Admin user I cannot replicate this for pending hardware refresh and remote command events being scheduled. They show up fine for me. - It is reported by someone else that this does not work for them. This bug is to try and track down why mine works, Devan on my team works, but not for the other user. So - using: Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL4-re20090721.0-i386-embedded-oracle.iso I login -> select 4 systems into the SSM (2 systems vs 50,000 systems - same code path) -> Manage (network/systems/ssm/index.pxt) -> Hardware (network/systems/ssm/misc/index.pxt#profiles) -> Update Hardware Profile (network/systems/ssm/misc/hw_prof_update_conf.pxt) - select the confirm refresh button. This results in events being scheduled which I see under the main Schedule tab (rhn/schedule/PendingActions.do). I then also tried the same for Scheduling via SSM remote command events. This also showed up in the same place. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL4-re20090721.0-i386-embedded-oracle.iso Other user reported issue though with the 5.3Beta and a QA ISO from a few weeks ago. How reproducible: unknown - cannot myself, other user seems to be consistent. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

Found the problem, the Schedule tab date sorting is using a string sort, not an actual date sort. Due to it's M/D/YY date format, it thinks that 8/19/09 is less than 8/20/08. If you have lots of events scheduled it's quite easy to see where this will break down, you'll sort on the date expecting to see events you just scheduled, and instead will see things quite old, you'll have to resort to filtering to find what you're looking for, or pagination manually. Similarly the month 12 will be treated as less than 9. Steps to reproduce: 1. date --set="Aug 20 2008 11:23:00" 2. rhn-satellite restart 3. Schedule a hardware refresh for a system. 4. date --set="Aug 19 2009 11:23:00" 5. rhn-satellite restart 6. Schedule another hardware refresh. 7. Visit the top level Schedule tab. Use the Schedule Time column sorting and you'll see it's the opposite of what it should be. It may help if you have some other actions in the list for comparison.
FYI ignore the rhn-satellite restart's, you don't technically have to do them, just date --set and Sat will pick it up.
Fix applied in spacewalk master: d82b5cf194497b00f6d45c0f276bf6c770ec5e40
Created attachment 358455 [details] test in stage this is working for me
followed plan in #5, works for me..
Stage validated on Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090820.1. I've scheduled hardware refresh and it's shown in the Schedule -> Pending Actions right away. Moving to RELEASE_PENDING.
