Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0033 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE subscription-manager bug fix and enhancement update 2013-01-08 08:38:27 UTC

Description Matt Reid 2012-08-22 15:13:54 UTC
Description of problem:
Our current action when someone clicks on Help > Online Documentation is to take them to the RHEL product documentation. I think it makes more sense to link them to the Subscription Management Guide, where we cover more Subscription Manager topics. If they were hoping for Sub Man help, they won't find much under RHEL, unless they start digging through the deployment guide, and my understanding is the subscription manager bits in there are being phased out.


New URL would be:
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Subscription_Management_Guide/index.html

Version should stay consistent across documentation updates, so I think it would be better to do a direct link, but we could also go a level up and have them click on the format they want to look at.

Comment 2 Tom Lavigne 2012-09-07 15:26:02 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for 
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Since we are unable to provide this feature at this time,  
it has been proposed for the next release of 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2012-09-10 16:27:06 UTC
We should be able to get this in, moving it back to 6.4.

Comment 4 Tom Lavigne 2012-09-18 15:51:08 UTC
