Description of problem:
Unable to download errata details for a system profile from Satellite v5.3 as CSV

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- On Satellite v5.3 Web UI, click on "Systems" tab
- Click on the name of any system profile
- The next page shows the system profile details
- Here, click on "Software" tab -> "Errata"

Actual results:
There is no "Download CSV" url at the bottom of the page. This used to be there in Satellite v5.2

Expected results:
A "Download CSV" url at the bottom which allows user to download applicable errata details of that system profile

Additional info:
Screenshots from Sat v5.2 (sat5_2.png) and Sat v5.3 (sat5_3.png)

Action expected from SEG:
- Would like to know whether this is indeed a bug, or was this feature deliberately left out in sat v5.3

Hello Vimal,

I was able to reproduce this issue but unfortunately I was unable to find
the culprit here.

Looking at the source (JSP files) from RHNS 5.2.0 and RHNS 5.3.0 here's
what I see:

code/webapp/WEB-INF/pages/systems/errata.jsp:

<c:if test="${requestScope.showApplyErrata == 'true'}">
                <rl:csv dataset="pageList"
                        name="errataList" 
                       
exportColumns="associatedSystem,errataAdvisoryType,advisoryName,advisorySynopsis,errataStatus,updateDate"
                        header="${system.name}"/>
        </c:if>
        <rhn:submitted/>

The above if condition is responsible for showing the 'Download CSV'
link. Now comparing the JSPs from both the versions I think the following
seems to be missing:

 <c:set var="pageList" value="${requestScope.pageList}" />
 
 <rl:listset name="errataListSet" legend="errata">
-       <rl:list dataset="pageList"
+
+       <br/>
+       <select name="type">


The ShowApplyErrata button is true and we also see that on the RHNS 530
server under:
System (SDC) -> Software -> Errata

Basically, the logic says:

If you system has 'applicable errata' show the button 'Apply Errata'
and if the 'Apply Errata' button appears also show the 'Download CSV'
link. On RHNS 530 we can see the 'Apply Errata' button but something is
blocking the 'Download CSV' link. If the Download CSV link is missing
then we should not see the 'Apply Errata' button as well. I think either
we need to pass the dataset to the CSV link which is missing.

Sending this to engineering for further investigation.
