Tom 6.8.2012

Start 10:00

  • Spread out everything a little more so that the connectors won’t be under the pcb boards
  • Fixed the labels

End: 6:00

Phil 6.11.12

7:30 – 6:30 FP

Mike 6.8.2012

  • Server backups
  • Final prep for meeting
  • 30 minute demo to colonel
  • 1 hour tutorial session with PMs
  • Additional requirements, test plan, etc. discussion with Tangie, Bill, Jessica, and Lenni
  • A few of the immediate things to add:
    • Default security banners
    • A new project summary table with budget, appropriations, and available balance all by year
    • Need to check on why no comments are working

Phil 6.8.12

8:30 – 12:30 ESSO

  • Moved the lab yesterday, so no notes.
  • Customer meeting:
    • Add a read-only admin user? I.e. one that can see everything, but can’t make changes
    • Need capability to print out/copy to clipboard the financial remediation. It sounds like these get included in reports
    • Comments aren’t being shown.
    • Make sure that most recent comments are on the top of the list, with date/time info
    • Unfunded Requests (UFRs) need to be downloadable. This can be done at two levels
      1. Add a link that points to a generic UFR Excel Spreadsheet
      2. Build a partially filled out UFR spreadsheet for the user to save.
    • Service Fincance POC name does not fill from dropdown selection. The field remains blank after the selection
    • Add banners like for VISIBILITY
    • Add regex for portion marking in all freeform text areas. Throw a fit if the portions are not marked.
    • Project Manager screen seems to load really slow sometimes. We might want to add something tat lets us see what it’s hanging on, but more importantly, add some loading animation so that the user doesn’t think the browser is hung.

12:30 – 5:30 FP

  • More Blender.
  • Got a meeting set up on Monday at 3:00 to learn how to use the MakerBot. Going to try to bring a file to attempt to print.
  • Pretty picture:

Mike 6.7.2012

  • Server backups at site
  • Status meeting with Jim G from TASC, Dave W. and others. Highlights of the meeting
    • We need some kind of requirements (future and retroactive). First we are checking around for an old statement of work then will go from there
    • Vet all new requirements through Dave W. and this weekly meeting before proceeding on them
    • Figure out who is working on the test plan
  • Finished up the presentation for tomorrow
  • Jessica R. is still having some issues deleting users, this time is was a foreign key problem with the user_alerts table
  • Lenni M. was having trouble changing his password, seems to have something to do with changing your password and trying to log in without refreshing the page (this should be possible)
  • The modify funding request screen needs an overhaul, it is VERY difficult to search, Tangie would also like the document_number column added
  • There’s an issue with searching on the project management list then scrolling
  • There are some instances of portfolio managers being updated on a project then not showing up in the project management list
  • Fixed the password changing issue, the login screen was getting stuck in a state between the normal state and the change password state

Dong Shin 06.07.2012

  • added MySQL database connection clean up routines to PPM server
  • mvn tomcat:redeploy generates 403 error on Tomcat 7. Maven’s Tomcat 7 requires different configuration… http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3714080/tomcat-7-maven-plugin
    • in tomcat-users.xml, add
      • <role rolename=”manager-gui”/>
        <role rolename=”manager-script”/>
        <user password=”admin” roles=”manager-gui, manager-script” username=”admin”/>
    • in pom.xml, add
      • <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-beta-1</version>
        <configuration>
        <url>http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/text</url&gt;
        <server>localTomcat</server>
        <path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>
        </configuration>
        </plugin>
  • added the new config to PPM server’s pom.xml, now mvn tomcat:redeploy works.
