7:30 – 5:00

  • Deployed latest version at the fort and turned off the old VISIBILITY app
  • Make it so “clear text” clears the console for the selected tab
  • Add “Step 1 of 3, 2 of, 3… to Create Project”
  • Keep from importing yourself in the pom navigator? Or at least post an alert with a warning
  • Do not inset multiple identical dependencies with pom navigator
  • Look for the [ERROR] string in the output. There are two cases. The first is where there is an error that does not cause a build failure. These should be stored in a list and sent to the “Problems” plugin. The other is an “[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE”. This should store the lines that follow the error and present them in a dialog.
  • Spent the rest of the day getting the flexbuilder plugin to actually get its help printed to the console window.

  • Needed to make a few changes to the details xml, but that was it. Autoingestors are working, proxy is behaving. Will take down VISIBILITY1 on Thursday
  • Fixed a subtle bug in tree view that would have redundant labels if the order of strings provided did not go from simpler to more complex
  • Adding backticks to quote out column headers so that they can be reserved words – done

8:00 – 4:30

  • Spent most of the morning rearranging data (well, the names of the data, anyway) for Pat
  • Looked into why roles vanish sometimes. Barring learning something new tomorrow, it’s because when a new role is added, the old roles are deleted, which in turn causes the mapping tables to get deleted as well, since the numbers may change. IN other words, it’s a desired feature
  • Made it so that which tab is the default in the QueryBuilder settable by editing the setupXml file. Mike had a confusing experience, which we should keep from happening…

Mike 11.08.09

  • Was very confused about an error I kept getting when trying to build a basic chart, turns out “Details” is now the default selected tab in the query builder  instead of “Basic”
  • Modified TrendWidgets to run their own queries instead of directly taking data from QueryWidgets
  • Enabled saving / loading of TrendWidgets with all the standard features:
    • Query and trended rows saved
    • Column order and size saved
    • Selected column (for pie chart) saved
    • Current chart / table being view saved

7:30 – 4:30

  • Spent most of the day nailing down the SSL problem. It turns out that the problem was that the keystore that the Tomcat server was depending on before the box was bounced on Tuesday PM was no longer where Tomcat expected it. This meant that SSL/amfsecure didn’t work any more. In chasing this down, The SAs turned off SSL from the proxyand enabled http, amf would work inside the enclave, while https was still running outside. THis was fine with Firefox, but not IE. So after a day of running around, we got a keystore running on the Edge box that Tomcat now points to explicitly, and turned on SSL from the proxy to the edge box. Tat fixed it
  • Deployed a new version of Visibility with some bug fixes and the ability to alias in Details, which should make things *really* interesting when all those pieces are changed. Ah, well
  • Spent some time with Tom trying to get him set up with MvnAssist. His system hung on the ingestion. Not sure why.

  • Set up the xml for the 4 details tables that S2F is interested in
  • Discovered that VISIBILITY is still not working in IE. Waiting on a fix
  • Got the tree problem fixed
  • Back to the fort to work on the SSL problem. Burned a disk for the new version to deploy while I’m there

  • Came in to a broken VISIBILITY2. It looks like the proxy server is no longer routing requests to the edge server. The old domain still works, but I can’t get the endpoints to work. My guess is that the fix is going to take a while, since the last person who fixed the proxy is gone. It took most of the day, but all is fixed.
  • Discussed the new file layout for VIS2. We will be on full auto-ingest with the legacy VISIBILITY turned off.
  • Seeing if I can figure out how to get the following to show up properly in a tree view: foo, foo_bar. Right now, only foo_bar will show.

Phil 11.3.2009

7:30 – 3:30

  • Added an “extended” attribute to the details xml that allows for a different name to be used than what’s in the actual data. When the default is created, the default “label” is copied over to the extended attribute, since both are needed now. It is getting pretty damn brittle.
  • Attended Anne’s presentation to Bill Crumm. Went well, and he liked it, but apparantly there is the issue of some “agency solution” that’s coming down the pike in 2 years that needs to be addressed.
  • Wrote up my three concepts for my 20%

Phil 11.2.2009

7:30 – 4:00

  • Added languages to the details section
  • Fixed shift-click so that multiple selection works as well as ctrl-click
  • Set the “Details” tab to be active initially
  • Fixed FlexTreeObject so that selects can go up parents to the root

Mike 11.1.09

  • Added pie chart to trend widget which displays selected columns info
  • Added a sort by date to the end of DateUtils.toDateBasedCollection so columns appear in the correct order
  • Created a date label function to prevent charts from displaying extremely long date string as axis labels
  • Checked in changes before starting on making trend widgets standalone like the query widgets, this will allow saving, loading, auto-refresh
