Updated Satellite 6.2 packages that fix several bugs and add two enhancements are now available.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.

This update adds the following enhancements:

• On Demand and Background download policies are now supported with Red Hat Content (Lazy Synchronization). See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/content-management-guide/chapter-4-importing-red-hat-content for more information on these policies.
• Task export can now be customized using searches. (BZ#1314207)

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, Satellite raised an error when attempting to synchronize a non existent docker repository. The product has been fixed to account for this situation and provide better feedback. (BZ#1193674)
• When provisioning a new host on RHEV, the network and storage settings from the template were not used. These values are now utilized during provisioning. (BZ#1261663)
• Improvements have been made to how certain features interact with the Satellite roles and permissions system. (BZ#1317868, BZ#1303816)
• Previously, the libtasn1 library could not handle OID elements greater than 2^32. Consequently, Atomic kick start trees could not be synchronized into Satellite and used for provisioning. The code has been improved and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1329051)
• The mirror-on-sync setting from hammer was not being set correctly. The API has been updated to honor this setting. (BZ#1348070)
• The katello-service command did not include the pulp_streamer command. This is now handled in the script. (BZ#1365269)
• Satellite can now support installing errata both with and without the yum-security-plugin. (BZ#1371240)
• The upgrade process was attempting to run two instances of the auto-execute feature which lead to a db:seed error. (BZ#1378913)

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs and adds these enhancements.
