Created attachment 709763 [details] unknown while registered Description of problem: When you are not registered, your product status is unknown. After registering your product status should be known immediately (it is via the cli). The GUI, however, takes a long time to update this status. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager-gui-1.8.4-1.git.24.36ea5ff.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with an unregistered machine and verify that your product statuses are unknown in subscription-manager-gui 2. register to your candlepin server of choice Actual results: It takes something like 2 minutes before the product statuses are updated. Expected results: A call is made during the register process to update your product statues. Additional info:
I was not able to reproduce the issue exactly as described in the original report. The only time I see a problem in updates to product status is when you register (and auto-subscribe) with products that you do not have entitlements for. Furthermore, I don't see a lag in update time; instead, the products never update at all.

As of subscription-manager 1.8.8 this is no longer a problem. Confirmed by reporter.
