RHBA-2014:0386 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rhevm-dwh package that fixes a bug is now available.

Description

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager data warehouse package
provides the ETL process and DB scripts to create a historic database API.
Enables SQL BI reports creation for management and monitoring.

All Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization reports and data warehouse users are
advised to upgrade to this updated package which addresses this issue.

Changes to the ovirt-engine-dwh component:

• Previously, when the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager was configured

using a password that contained special characters, those special characters
would be escaped when stored in the 10-setup-database.conf file. However, the
rhevm-dwh-setup command would not recognize such characters as being escaped and
would therefore fail to run. Now, escaped characters are correctly interpreted.
(BZ#1072406)

• Previously, the rhevm-dwh-setup command would fail when run on a system

configured to use the Brazilian Portuguese language (pt_BR). This was caused by
an error in using the status of a service as a conditional, which resulted in
the postgresql service not being restarted. Now, the conditional is dependent on
a return code, and the rhevm-dwh-setup command restarts the postgresql service
without issue. (BZ#1073467)

• Previously, including a double quotation mark in the password for the history

database would cause the rhevm-dwh-setup command to fail due to an
authentication error. This was caused by the double quotation marks not being
considered a part of the password. Now, the rhevm-dwh-setup command disallows
the characters '"', '\', '#', and '$'. (BZ#1065781)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
