RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Sefler 2012-04-16 17:09:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using the cli only, the original autosubscribe behavior (that does not account for service-levels) is no longer working.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.99.14-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# subscription-manager list --installed
+-------------------------------------------+
    Installed Product Status
+-------------------------------------------+
Product Name:         	Awesome OS Server Bits   
Product ID:           	37060

[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# subscription-manager register --username testuser1 --password password --org admin --autosubscribe
The system has been registered with id: 7553f4dc-55ff-4a47-8c7b-27a71f94ce62 
Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name:         	Awesome OS Server Bits   
Status:               	Not Subscribed           

^^^^ EXPECTED "Subscribed" REGARDLESS OF SERVICE LEVEL. SINCE ONE WAS NOT SET GIVE ME ANY SERVICE LEVEL AS WAS DONE THE OLD WAY.

[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# subscription-manager service-level
Current service level: 
[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# 

[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# curl -k -u testuser1:password --stderr /dev/null https://jsefler-f14-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin/consumers/7553f4dc-55ff-4a47-8c7b-27a71f94ce62 | python -m simplejson/tool | grep serviceLevel
    "serviceLevel": "", 
[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# 

^^^ IT APPEARS THAT serviceLevel IS SET TO "" BY DEFAULT AND THEREFORE DOES NOT MATCH ANY SUBSCRIPTION.  THIS IS WHY THE AUTOSUBSCRIBE IS NOT SUCCEEDING.  THIS WAS NOT THE CASE A FEW BUILDS AGO WHERE serviceLevel WAS null AND AUTOSUBSCRIBE WORKED THE OLD WAY.


[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# subscription-manager register --username testuser1 --password password --org admin --autosubscribe --servicelevel=Standard --force

Status:               	Subscribed               

^^^ NOTICE THAT AUTO-SUBSCRIBE WORKS, BUT FIRST THE SERVICE LEVEL NEEDS TO BE SET.


IS THIS WHAT WE WANT?  WHAT IF THERE WAS NO SERVICE LEVEL SET ON THE AVAILABLE SUBSCRIPTIONS, THEN AUTOSUBSCRIBE MAY NOT WORK AT ALL SINCE THE CONSUMER'S DEFAULT SERVICE LEVEL OF "" WOULD NOT MATCH null.


What do you think?  Should the default serviceLevel attribute on the consumer be null or ""?  I think "" better mimics the new GUI behavior while null gives the CLI user the best of the old and new.
Comment 1 Devan Goodwin 2012-04-17 14:43:06 UTC 
"" is the correct value for "no service level", it is handled in the rules and when seen, we skip all SLA filtering.

This use case is working fine here with the same test data:

root@redhat ~) $ subscription-manager register --username=testuser1 --password=password --force --autosubscribe --org=admin

Product Name:           Awesome OS Server Bits   
Status:                 Subscribed               

Working with John to see if we can figure out why it was not working in his case.

^^^ VERIFIED:  The last three cases above all exercised autosubscribe without specifying a service level and the all successfully consumed an entitlement that provided for the installed product.  (interestingly the service level chosen was not always repeated, but that's okay since we did not specify the service level).

Moving to CLOSED WORKSFORME - not sure why the comment 0 failure occurred.  The subscription-manager version is identical, but I did redeploy the candlepin server.
