7:30 – 3:30

• Ingested data
• Sent out the new URL to the S2F folks
• Had a chat with John about bringing him up to speed on the VIS2 system. Wednesday or Thursday AM
• Working on getting a tree view of column headers where prefixes match – Mostly working in sandbox

7:30 – 4:00

• Gloomy damned day
• Committed the new ingestors
• Fixed the query builder so that selects are inserted before any other reserved word. This means that any fancy query can be adjusted by clicking on columns without loosing the clauses
• Meeting with Pat, Anne, John, Mike K, and Brian
• Fixed the query reference so that it does not contain developer info
• Need to do the following:
  • Enable tooltips on title bar and widget finder
  • Make query into a TextArea?
  • Keep tabs on save. It may be broken
  • See if it’s possible to build a tree view of the columns that group by sections that match within underscores (i.e. “foo_bar” and “foo_baz” would be under “foo”)
  • Add search to builder
  • Make darker panels – done
  • Make bigger scrollbars – done

7:30 – 4:00

• Ingested data at the Fort
• Talked to Anne about the next proposal – I think it’s more of a TUMMS monitoring app with CoreItems than VISIBILITY or AppBoard
• Making a csv ingestor to deal with all of the xls ingestion problems – done
• Also put together a tab seperated ingestor
• Looked over Brian’s proposal

7:30 – 3:30

• Updated data at the Fort
• Verified that if I run tomcat as myself, that remote uploading can work. The problem is that the server box won’t let Tomcat run with my id once I log off. And it automatically logs you off, so it can’t be left in the state that we leave the subversion server or laureldemo. Sigh
• Cleaned out some of the debugging traces in the code.
• Still had some problems reading files with special characters in the columns. Going to work on that next. – Fixed
• Meeting on new Mission Dashboard Thingy

7:30 – 4:00

• Updated data
• Discovered a bug with Uploader.java – it’s including the path as well as the filename when storing data in the upload directory
• Had some problems ingesting Anne’s new spreadsheet – columns with “-” and ” ‘ ” made mySQL choke without a good message to the user – had to go through the server log
• I showed Arron what was going on, and he has two suggestions:
  • Diff the code that we have now with code from early August and see what the difference is. It might be something obvious.
  • Change the connect() and disconnect() methods so that they re-use the connection if it exists. Add a terminate() method that calls connect() and then closses the connection at the end of the remote object call.
• Turns out that some browsers may store the entire path in the item name. Added some checks and am testing with Firefox, IE, and Opera
• Burned a new copy of VIS2
• Installed at the fort. Igestors now work! THe last remaining problem is that the auto ingestors need to work as a SYSTEM service

8:00 – 4:00

• set pom so the output war is now called Visibility3.war – done
• Change the VISIBILITY_DEPLOY variable in FlexBuilder preferences->General->Workspace->LinkedResources to point to Visibility3 – done
• Change the VISIBILITY_SERVER_SERVICES variable in FlexBuilder preferences->General->Workspace->LinkedResources to point to Visibility3 – done
• Set the AccountManagers->Preferences->Root URL to Visibility3 – done
• Set the IngestManager->Preferences->Root URL to Visibility3 – done
• Set the vis2->Preferences->Root URL to Visibility3 – done
• Have uploader.java produce a better web page so that uploading doesn’t seem so skanky.
• Continue to beat on ingestor problems

7:00 – 7:00

• Hopefully, today we can have a better install.
• Need to do the following:
  • Get an HTML-based file upload running that we can have the flash app point to. That seems to be working in VisibilityHsqlServer
  • Get a stand-alone version of the ingestor running with some test files so that we can do some debugging at the fort
  • Fix the ingestor so that it can 1) Point to a remote file – i.e. “\yourServeryourDirectoryyourfile.xml”  2) Verify that the file is visible, 3) Ingest the file immediately, and then on a schedule.
• Deployed the new version as Visibility3
  • Need to change the pom file so this tracks
  • After futzing about with endpoints and other issues, got the new version to work, although with the same problems as last time. However, the HTML version of upload works, so I’m going to change the upload to launch a webpage to handle uploading until we can figure out what’s going on.
  • Ran a lot of tests and took screenshots. These are now on Dong’s desk.

7:30 – 5:30

• Deployed
• There is going to be a demo on Sept 11
• Added “Select All” and “Clear All” to QueryBuilderBase
• Everything works on Laureldemo – going to burn a disk – done
• Going to the Fort to try rolling out the new version
• Some things worked, a lot didn’t:
  • File upload hangs
  • Timed ingestor won’t read in files that are not in the “uploads” directory
  • Ingestor has “too many connections” error with MySql and fails on combined.xml. Can read billets.xml. The old ingestor handles these files just fine.
  • Didn’t try ingesting xml

7:30 – 3:30

• Wow, it’s September. Sixty four degrees this morning, highs in the seventies – clear and crisp.
• Deployed
• Downloaded Mike’s stuff, which works great
• Waiting for Dong to finish up, then we’re going to do a test deploy.
• Sent a note to maryanders@aol.com about the property on Hercules Rd. in Jessup.
• Interesting article on pocket-switching network language: http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/1600000/1592617/p43-yoneki.pdf?key1=1592617&key2=3597181521&coll=ACM&dl=ACM&CFID=15151515&CFTOKEN=6184618
• Dong is finishing up his part. Deploy to edge test server today?
