Hello,
I have just updated to 3.4.4 an oVirt all-in-one environment based on 3.4.1
and Fedora 19 .
All went ok, especially for the previously dramatic update of reports/dwh
parts.
good job!

I have some comments for the release notes:

1) the version I had to update was 3.4.1
3.4.1-1.fc19

in the release notes there is only mention for upgrade from 3.4.0 and in
that case to remove ovirt-release package after installing ovirt-release34
So in my situation the user is not so confident about how to proceed.
Infact in my case I already had ovirt-release34 installed. I only needed to
update it.

$ rpm -qa ovirt-release\*
ovirt-release34-1.0.1-1.noarch

I got same output using install or directly using update
# yum localinstall
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm

---> Package ovirt-release34.noarch 0:1.0.1-1 will be updated
---> Package ovirt-release34.noarch 0:1.0.3-1 will be an update


# yum update ovirt-release34
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package ovirt-release34.noarch 0:1.0.1-1 will be updated
---> Package ovirt-release34.noarch 0:1.0.3-1 will be an update

So my workflow was the second one ad it seems more intuitive.
It could be written that in case of 3.4.x with x>0 one only needs the yum
update part

2) engine-setup
Following the instrucitons to run

yum update "ovirt-engine-setup*"

when you run engine-setup, actually you are prompted to update also reports
and dwh before proceeding, if you had them before, as it was my case:
...
[ INFO  ] Checking for product updates...
          Setup has found updates for some packages, do you wish to update
them now? (Yes, No) [Yes]:
[ INFO  ] Checking for an update for Setup...
          An update for the Setup packages ovirt-engine-reports-setup
ovirt-engine-dwh-setup was found. Please update that package by running:
          "yum update ovirt-engine-reports-setup ovirt-engine-dwh-setup"
          and then execute Setup again.
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': Please
update the Setup packages

SO it should be written, if one had reports configured before, to run also
# yum update ovirt-engine-reports-setup ovirt-engine-dwh-setup
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package ovirt-engine-dwh-setup.noarch 0:3.4.1-1.fc19 will be updated
---> Package ovirt-engine-dwh-setup.noarch 0:3.4.4-0.1.fc19 will be an
update
---> Package ovirt-engine-reports-setup.noarch 0:3.4.1-1.fc19 will be
updated
---> Package ovirt-engine-reports-setup.noarch 0:3.4.4-0.1.fc19 will be an
update

Or it could also be modified the previous command adding a * in the middle

 yum update "ovirt-engine-*setup*"

(actually better to split in two commands in my opinion)


NOTE:
My reports are ok if I select the reports link in the main page of portals
But if I go in webadmin portal and then select "dashboard" near the top
right events tab, I get a "page not found error"
see
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvWTdFOGJuekZmbEk/edit?usp=sharing

I never used this "dashboard" link before, so I don't know exactly what it
should provide to the user.
When I click on dashoard I see this in /var/log/httpd/ssl_request_log

Nothing in engine.log and nothing in
/var/log/ovirt-engine-reports/jasperserver.log
I don't know where to find for more info...
