Thanks Ivan. I had found that bug report before and tried the steps listed, but it didn’t make a difference. In my case, I was getting a 403 error (file not found) because the repomd.xml files didn’t actually exist on the server, and that was because the repo metadata taskomatic jobs were not running. In addition, the system summary reports shown in the web UI were also not being updated, but after following Alex’s suggestion, all of the taskomatic jobs seem to be happily running on schedule now and that seems to have resolved all of our issues. I won’t know for certain until we get some additional packages in the repos and run another patch job on the systems so that I can see if the repomd.xml files and system summaries update properly, but I have a feeling they will.

I had also noticed (but forgot to mention) that many of the jobs didn't seem to show up in the Task Engine Status section of the Web UI. Once we updated each schedule, the Task Engine Status now appears to show all schedules with a finished status next to each one. -----Original Message----- From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com <mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com> [mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com <mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com> ] On Behalf Of Alexandru Raceanu Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2018 1:14 PM To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com <mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com> Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Server not creating/updating /var/cache/rhn after upgrade I've hit similar issues after the upgrading 2.6 -> 2.7 Try following: Go to Admin -> Task Schedules Click on one schedule name ( eg. auto-errata-default ) and then Update schedule button. Do this for all schedules. You will notice that the "Active From" date will be updated with a more recent date/time. Restart taskomatic. After this taskomatic should behave and pickup the queue properly. Let me know if that helped. /Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glennie, Jonathan - 0443 - MITLL" <jrgle...@ll.mit.edu <mailto:jrgle...@ll.mit.edu> > To: "Robert Paschedag" <robert.pasche...@web.de <mailto:robert.pasche...@web.de> >, spacewalk-list@redhat.com <mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2018 3:52:42 PM Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Server not creating/updating /var/cache/rhn after upgrade We have selinux disabled. Any idea what is supposed to trigger the taskomatic actions? I noticed in the web UI that it is set up with a custom quartz format to run "0 * * * * ?", not sure if that is normal or not but it doesn't seem like it. I'm guessing that the reposync commands set a flag somewhere that the repo data needs to be updated, and then when the taskomatic job runs, it checks to see if any of the repos are in need of an update and generates new repo data if need be? Perhaps I should just change the cron to hourly. I'm not sure what you mean by synchronization of the report. If you mean the report in the web UI, it does not seem to be working. All of the clients in the UI show that they are up to date, however manually running a yum update on a client will return a list of many packages that need to be updated. Is there another taskomatic job that is supposed to handle generating the summary reports in the Web UI? Perhaps that job is not running as it should either. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Paschedag [mailto:robert.pasche...@web.de <mailto:robert.pasche...@web.de> ] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 12:51 AM To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com <mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com> ; Glennie, Jonathan - 0443 - MITLL <jrgle...@ll.mit.edu <mailto:jrgle...@ll.mit.edu> >; spacewalk-list@redhat.com <mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com> Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Server not creating/updating /var/cache/rhn after upgrade Am 20.

If you have selinux enabled, please check the selinux permissions if that directory or reset them. Does the synchronisation of the report work?
