Greetings Red Hat Partners, We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of updated Red Hat Certification 5.3 and associated test suite package updates (listed below). This Red Hat Certification package update *is* an official release and should be used for all new Red Hat certification submissions. Successful results from the previous certification test suite will be accepted for a period of 90 days.
The updated Red Hat Certification packages listed below are available on the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following location: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/282/ redhat-certification-5.3-20171023.6.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-5.3-20171023.6.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-5.3-20171023.6.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-5.3-20171023.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-ironic-preview-5.3-20171023.6.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-openstack-5.3-20171023.6.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-5.3-20171023.6.el6.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-5.3-20171023.6.el6.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-5.3-20171023.el6.noarch.rpm This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows: 1. The Certifications interface now properly requires the user to log in. The rhcert WUI will always prompt for a login and may still be utilized without logging in, however the view will be limited to Sandboxes for test execution and Results viewing. 2. Installations of the rhcert WUI which can communicate with the Red Hat Certification Services will now display notifications regarding the current or upcoming availability and changes to Red Hat Certification and Certification Services. The notifications may be cleared from the display though we encourage paying attention as important to critical information may be conveyed in this space. 3. Selecting the ”update” action on a test result will attempt to recall the Red Hat Certification Services to resolve any REVIEW status caused by the unavailability of the services during the test run. Where possible this will update the test status to PASS or FAIL as appropriate to allow for a re-run or submission for credit without needing to wait for feedback from Red Hat. 4. Cloud certification now allow for PowerPC certifications on RHEL 6 and 7. Details regarding the specific hypervisors allowed by architecture is provided in the CCSP policy guide. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_certified_cloud_and_service_provider_certification/ 5. The openstack/neutron_* tests output log has been enhanced to improve clarity by adding a summary for each subtest. The summary highlights the total number of tempest tests executed, of those how many pass, failed, or were skipped and the error output for any failed tests. The complete changelog for each package may be found on the download page by selecting the package name followed by selecting the ChangeLog tab. If you encounter any problems, please file bugs against the "Red Hat Certification Program" product in Red Hat Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com). Note that this may be a change for some users who are used to using the old "Red Hat Hardware Certification Program" product. We value your ongoing participation in Red Hat certification, software development, and testing efforts. Thank you for your continued partnership. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact your partner manager or engineering account manager.
