  • Project Creation role titles don’t match the standard roles we use everywhere else

  • Appropriation needs “Add New”
  • BF 34 panel gets several changes:
    • “Reimbursable” has an associated Amount and Obligation Date
    • “Direct” should be “Direct Cite” and has Amount, Obligation Date, Contract Date and Contract Number associated with it.
  • JM wants a DashViewer-like page for showing reports. He prefers no login as the default

Phil 6.16.2010

8:00 – 4:00

  • Deployed new version of PPM. Seems to be working
  • Had a freight with VISIBILITY. one of the SOLR files had not ingested properly. Fixed, but I’m not sure how
  • Added a method in DatabaseIf.java to store strings as prepared queries. That should deal with nearly any bad character problem…
  • Eliminated the “str: ” print statement that was filling the logs. Still need to make the ingestor more robust WRTspecial characters?
  • Created a VisDashViewer project
  • Meeting with S14 folks today at 1:30
    • Project Creation role titles don’t match the standard roles we use everywhere else
    • “Create Funding Request” Brings up dialog with “Funding” spelled “Fungind”
    • Create Funding should work with a full project rather than a line item.
      • Budget Center and Budget should be blank. They will be added by the user
      • Appropriation needs “Add New”
      • BF 34 panel gets several changes:
        • “Reimbursable” has an associated Amount and Obligation Date
        • “Direct” should be “Direct Cite” and has Amount, Obligation Date, Contract Date and Contract Number associated with it.
    • JM wants a DashViewer-like page for showing reports. He prefers no login as the default.
  • The load of data when bringing up the “Enter Financial Data” is hanging (Not coming out of the “clock” cursor). Occasionally it brings up (I have screenshot print outs):
    • Remote Object Fault
      • code: Channel.Call.Failed
      • Message: error
      • Detail: NetConnection.Call.Failed HTTP: Failed

Dong 06.16.2010

  • checked in the latest code
  • changed PPM Server to use SQL transaction control for multiple SQLs so that if any SQL fails prior SQLs cancel
  • cleaning up
  • tried Tom’s installer several times…. not working

Tom 6.15.2010

  • Installer failed.  Apparently 7-zip needs to be installed separately in order to work.
  • Found zip.exe from http://www.info-zip.org/.  This one seems to work without any extra install process.
  • Adding some error catching so if it still crashes it will at least do it gracefully and tell the user where it failed.

Phil 6.15.2010

7:30 – 5:30

  • Swung by the site – nothing new
  • Thinking about a “Dashboard View” login. Very simple, just lists the available dashboards and slide shows. The user picks one and it displays. No save capability. No QueryBuilder.
  • Working on packaging up PPM for deployment and demo tomorrow.

Dong Shin 06.15.2010

  • packing up PPM for Wed
  • removed FAX  numbers (3) off from Funding Request for now.
  • AddableListComboBox defaults to check for duplicates
  • User logs in after change password
  • force enable Add/Update button of BudgetCenterWindow when new data is added
  • removed Exec Summary from Select Funding Request
  • wrap all TextInputs with toSQLString to mask reserved characters….
  • fixed exception throwing when Data Edit ends with mouse click
  • added restrict attributes (0-9.) to the FinancialDataDataGrid
  • added Create Funding Request

Mike 6.14.10

  • Added multiple selection to NetworkMap as well as a function for finding nodes n hops from multiple nodes
  • Created a new networkmap container which is a view stack.  The first is the basic networkmap and a link button take you to the second page which has a control for inputting and executing the method for finding nodes n hops from the node(s) selected in the map.  A list then displays those nodes.  The idea is to add this two layer stack to the AdvancedQueryWidget and whenever a selection change occurs on either the map or list of nodes, those entries will be selected in the data tab of the AdvQW allowing users to run new queries easily based on connection information.

7:30 – 10:30, 2:30 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • Swung by the site to check on things. All is running. Deleted some unused tables and checked on usage
  • Work with Dong today to finalize PPM for Wednesday demo
  • Switched all my passwords everywhere. Here’s hoping things will still be working tomorrow…
  • Discussing our need for a server with Rick Hally

10:30 – 2:30 FP

  • Built a linkage to have reaction motions work independently from the input forces
  • And that works. What this means is that for the system to work, there needs to be a “perceptual(?)” reference that the opposing motion can move relative to. So the prototype with the holes in it for actuators is actually close to what it should be.
  • Important thing to note – the kf motor should be connected to the reference structure so that the forces coming back from the kf device aren’t modifying the input forces. The test setup is adding these kind of artifacts.
  • Ordered threaded rod (93250A026), nuts (94804A325), and rod ends (60645K441) from mcmaster ($58.34)
  • Ordered two 12v/2A power supplies, a Servo Motor Controller and two 30mm linear actuators from Phidgets ($341.50 CAD)
