Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I realized it was mostly due to ProxyTimeout. Once I changed that, errata creation seems to be working OK.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On a side note, how often do you release the Errata XML file? I was wondering if you would be willing to share the conversion script so I can run it in a schedule?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Prakash</div>

Hi Steve,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am trying to use your errata application tool, but am running into some issues. I am not sure if the issues are at the Spacewalk end or in the script itself.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Whenever I run the script, it creates a portion of the errata and then I get a "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" and the script just stops.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>And, I think this is having an impact on the errata "Advanced Search". Earlier, I received an email from Spacewalk saying errata "CEBA-2012:0192" affects 2 of my systems.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But when I try to search for this errata using Errata -> Advanced Search, it is not displayed in the results. I can see "<a href="https://bmispacewalkp1.chmcres.cchmc.org/rhn/errata/details/Details.do?eid=23912">CEBA-2012:0194</a>", "<a href="https://bmispacewalkp1.chmcres.cchmc.org/rhn/errata/details/Details.do?eid=23910">CEBA-2012:0193</a>",
"<a href="https://bmispacewalkp1.chmcres.cchmc.org/rhn/errata/details/Details.do?eid=23908">CEBA-2012:0190</a>", but not "CEBA-2012:0192".
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, if I select one of the affected systems in the Spacewalk WebUI, and go to Software -> Errata, the above errata shows up there as applicable and I am able to go from there and look at the errata details. Any idea what is going on here?</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div>Dear Spacewalk-Users,<br>
<br>
I would like to introduce yet another tool to import CentOS Errata information into<br>
your Spacewalk Server.<br>
<br>
You can find it here -> <a href="http://cefs.steve-meier.de/">http://cefs.steve-meier.de</a><br>
<br>
It is written in Perl and CentOS Errata are provided in an XML file available for download.<br>
Errata are created via the API and can be published either automatically or manually.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any questions or feedback. Thank you!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Steve Meier<br>
