Created attachment 515543 [details]
sample python script to reproduce this case.

Description of problem:
the documentation of configchannel.createOrUpdatePath mentions a struct with "macro-start-delimiter" and "macro-stop-delimiter" saying that these two values should be ignored by the satellite, but actually satellite rejects these values

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
confirmed in 5.4.1

How reproducible:
all the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. register a machine to a satellite to a org channel called "test"
2. use the sample script attached to the ticket

  
Actual results:
the call fails with 
group': 'root', 'permissions': '0755', 'macro-start-delimiter': '', 'macro-end-delimiter': '', 'revision': 1 })
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1096, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1383, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1147, in request
    return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1286, in _parse_response
    return u.close()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 744, in close
    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 2801: 'redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: Invalid argument(s): macro-end-delimiter, macro-start-delimiter'>

Expected results:
the script should have passed, according to the documentation.

Additional info:
The will here is to get the documentation updated so that these values are taken down from 

	http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.4.1/html/API_Overview/handlers/ConfigChannelHandler.html#createOrUpdatePath

	(the folder part only)

 as they won't be accepted by the api.
