Phil 1.28.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Deployed FA, RA, and RQ, with a new FA.jar and some new sql.
  • Finally got isVisible working, but I’m not happy myNode.getAttribute(‘hidden’) should work, but doesn’t. myNode._node.hidden does. Totally undocumented yuck.
  • Moving the developed code to CSSRemoteDataModule.
  • Working on putting a Base module in a Panel.
  • That was quicker. The root node that the panel connects to seems only to provide its size. Color seems to get lost, and you need a 50 pixel offset from the top for the title bar.
  • PanelWithWidget

8:00 – 10:00, 12:30-5:30 SR

  • Made some progress on getting the servers a new lease. Will need to schedule a meeting between Chris and Larry T. when Chris gets back. Also, it looks like we’ll need to find a new system security guy.
  • Backups
  • JavaScript
    • Now that we’ve got CSS-styled modules working with charts, start putting the data access back in. Or find the next broken thing. But at least, that’s the goal.
    • And there it is. Learned abo0ut self = this today. Sheesh. Going to comment now.
    • Base+CSS+POST

Phil 1.23.14

8:00 – SR

  • Backups
  • Javascript
    • Still working out how CSS and YUI work together
    • Ok, figured it out. The css name must match the .js name which must be contained in a folder with the same name as well. See the picture below. Note that in the HTML code that the two “electron” modules are referenced with appropriate names and paths based on this pattern. Note that this is for the default (sam) skin, and might be adjustable with custom skin names/location
    • YUI_CSS_Default_Hierarchy
    • Tried to add charts to the new <div> elements but got a “TypeError: I is undefined combo” error when creating the chart. Posted to the forums.

Phil 1.21.14

7:30 – 11:30 SR

  • Snow coming, so it’ll probably be short hours today.
  • Backups
  • Javascript – well, I moved the entire development environment to the laptop, but got hung up with Tomcat on my work computer not being seen by my home machine. And I need two screens. Grr. Picking it up tomorrow.

Phil 1.17.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

Phil 1.16.14

8:00 – 5:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Deploy
  • Javascript
    • Created a module based on the YUIConf examples and was able to create a module that I could new(). Next will be to use Base.create to get at the lifecycle management. Then add the chart and table pieces back in.

Phil 1.15.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Went through the server registration process with Tim E.
  • New swfs for everything
  • We still have the clear problem with Reqonciler
  • It’s possible to loose a floating panel if it’s dragged beyond a certain point.
  • Change Complete/Due/Overdue to look at Planned, Obligated and PM Actuals only
  • JavaScript
    • Turning code into a YUI module. Set up the module and created <div> nodes to attach things to and styled them.

Phil 1.14.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Tried to ping Tim E. Got ahold of him later. Will call around 8:30 tomorrow to walk through the paperwork.
  • Server paperwork with Bill V.
  • increased storage in MySQL, but we’re still having slow page loads on RA
  • JavaScript
    • Break the ChartWithRemoteData3.html into files. Done, and took a detour into typescript. It’s just not documented well enough with respect to YUI (and it’s not at v1.0 either) to use without a struggle.
    • Tomorrow we’ll try to turn this into a proper YUI module
      • Need to create some additional <div>s for the components to attach too
      • Change the css so that it’s more generic.

Phil 1.13.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Cleanup of all the backups. And in the process I managed to delete the backup batch file, and cpPlusDate/mvPlusDate. Found everything (in the “installed” folder. How about that!), and rewrote the batch file which is a bit cleaner now. The remote drives are not connecting today, so those parts need to be uncommented tomorrow.
  • Tim E. is not answering his emails. I need to start beating on that harder.
  • One of Carla’s users is having trouble connecting to the server. The certs look OK, so I sent the standard connectivity problems email.
  • Javascript
    • Working on getting data to show up properly using post. I think I might just send a property named JSON. Need to make sure that the size is within the limits set in the server.xml file: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2943477/is-there-a-max-size-for-post-parameter-content
    • Done and commented. Walked Dong through it and it seemed clear to him.
    • Checked JavaScript, Java and server config into svn.
    • Next, break code out into reasonable containers. Maybe with TypeScript.

Phil 1.10.14

8:00 – 2:00,  3:00 – 5:00SR

  • The weather word for today is “ick”.
  • Backups
  • No word back from Tim E.
  • Add “only show if conflict” as a line choice in Reqonciler.
  • Timesheet crap.
  • Email chain with Brad about how to move off of fgmdev.
  • Lunch at 2:00.
  • It looks like the POST configuration can be set up in datasource-io, since there is an ioConfig attribute (http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/api/files/datasource_js_datasource-io.js.html#l56). Going to set up the servlet to listen to POST as well and see what happens when I send data. This is the io-base example that seems to be appropriate: http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/io/
  • Wow. That worked! Need to sent the argements over correctly, but the response is already coming back ok.

Phil 1.9.14

8:00 – 4:30 SR

  • Backups
  • Deploy new FA, RA, RQ
  • Truststore issue *is* fixed!
  • Pinged Tim E. To get renewal process restarted.
  • Javascript

Phil 1.8.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Truststore issue is probably fixed! Worked for Mike M. at any rate. Fingers crossed.
  • More progress on the SA front.
  • Javascript
    • Servlet – done. Generates HTML, XML and JSON data via doGet() format is
    • Adding remote DataSource to YUI code. Connecting was pretty straightforward. You do have to wrap the data as described here. Then it was mostly a matter of making my JSON correct. Next, make it so that the variables can change as with the local version.

Phil 1.7.14

8:00 – 11:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Still waiting for someone to give me enough information to let me fill out a ticket.
  • Still waiting for a response back on what network the server is on. Today’s busy, but I’ll get on that tomorrow.
  • Javascript
    • Servlet development

11:00 – 4:00 FP
