Description Jan Hutař 2009-11-12 12:19:08 UTC
Description of problem:
Inventory report with --multival-on-rows do not explode hardware column. Not sure if this is a bug, but I see items there are separated with ";" and using --multival-separator=. I can not change them, so maybe it is just text with these values not escaped. This might be bad for some parsing.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk-backend-tools-0.7.12-1.el5


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. spacewalk-report --multival-on-rows --multival-separator=. inventory | grep 1000010048


Actual results:
";" in the hardware column, what indicates that hardware is a multival


Expected results:
These ";" should be escaped or maybe whole column should be in "'" or something like this. Or this is a NOTABUG :-)

The hardware column is not multival. The values in that column are simply not of the same type for them to make sense to list them on separate rows.

Putting a needinfo for Todd to decide what to do about that column.

Adding needinfo for Cliff.

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2009-12-17 10:36:37 UTC
I'm closing this bugzilla with resolution between NOTABUG and WONTFIX.
