Environment

NOWS SBE 2.5
YaST
NOWS SBE Web User Interface

Situation

If you click on the Enable/Disable button in the NOWS SBE Web User Interface (WebUI) has no effect. You can verify this by checking YaST | Software | Installation Sources | Configured Software Catalogs.

When a Software Catalog is disabled in YaST, it shows as "Disabled" in the WebUI from the "Novell Customer Center Manager" link.

When you click on the "Enable" button, the catalog remains disabled but a new catalog is created which is enabled. This too can be verified in YaST.

Resolution

This issue occurs on a newly installed NOWS SBE 2.5 box, but the problem does not occur after applying OES2SP2 and latest updates.
