RHBA-2013:1412 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Upgrades of Subscription Asset Manager from 1.2.1 to 1.3 are failing due to
foreign key issues.

Description

An update is available for Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager 1.3 which
contains an important bug fix.

Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager acts as an on-premise service to manage
subscription information and works as a proxy for software updates on
client machines.

This erratum contains the following bug fix:

• New foreign keys were added to SAM 1.3 to improve data integrity for

activation keys. This modified the activation key database table. However,
during the schema upgrade process, the key user was not properly
recognized, causing failures with the modification with the error "Key
(user_id)=(#) is not present in table users." This prevented the activation
key table from being modified and caused upgrade to fail. SQL commands have
been added to the upgrade path to clean up any incorrect data and allow the
upgrade to succeed. (BZ#1015155)

Solution

This update is available through Red Hat Network (RHN). To apply this errata,
run the RPM command with the -F option to update the SAM 1.3 packages:

# rpm -Fvh katello*.rpm

Then restart the SAM upgrade process:
# katello-configure

Affected Products

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 x86_64

Fixes

• BZ - 1015155 - upgrade to SAM 1.3 fails due to FK constraint issue
