Hello Franky,

Thanks for your fast reply.
Our investigation showed us that Ketello (https://fedorahosted.org/katello/) will become the next generation management tool for RH OS.
Maybe someone from RedHat Satellite Team could answer this question better.

I played around with errata files from oval (http://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/) but until now without success.
Maybe that could be a way to be more generic with RedHat errata. For my understanding this could work regardless to what service the machine is registered.
Any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Michael
