  • it looks like automation_monkey3.x.swc has been compile with Flex SDK 3.3 and cannot get it to work with 3.3 or 3.5?
  • tried to compile whole FlexMonkey package – no luck, too many missing, no clear instruction.
  • tried RIATest – same error?
    • compiled first time, but getting “Unable to resolve resouce bundle…” erros
  • all these Flex SDK set up messed up my Flex Builder, ugh!
  • reinstalled Flex Builder & plugins
  • tried using Flex SDK 3.5.0.12683
    • built and ran without FlexMonkey
    • added libs/automation_monkey3.x.swc – ran fine
    • -include-libraries “../../../libs/automation_monkey3.x.swc” “${flexlib}/libs/automation.swc” “${flexlib}/libs/automation_agent.swc” “${flexlib}/libs/automation_dmv.swc” results in Unable to resolve resource bundle error
    • manually added automation_agent.swc and automation.swc to libs – didn’t work
  • created new project, moved all source over, set FlexMonkey configuration….
    • works!

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • 10:30 PPM meeting. Meet Trish at 10:00. Nope cancelled until next week at the same time. End of FY crunch apparently.
  • Adding version box to Ingest Manager, Accounts Manager and Scripting Server. Done. Not sure what to do about the dashboard bug. It’s very difficult to replicate.
  • Back to Flex in a week
    • Day 1 Episode 11
    • Day 1 Episode 12 – The Network Monitor is a nice touch.
    • Day 1 Episode 13
  • Painted our fake conduit

Dong Shin 09.27.2010

  • looking into Apache HTTP/Tomcat integration – using single host to direct appropriate URL to Tomcat or HTTPD
  • reworked AboutInfoWindow.mxml so that all the app needs is single mxml tag
    • usage: <aboutFlexApp1:AboutInfoWindow  id=”aboutWindow” appName=”Project Portfolio Mgr” version=”{_version}” imgName=”./images/logo1.png”/>
    • somehow I can’t get this to pop up on center…

7:30 – 3:30 VISIBILITY

  • Deployed new PPM. Went through a quick sanity check with Trish, who had *no* suggestions/fixes. I think we’re ready for the demo. Be there tomorrow at 10:00
  • Discovered that Lou Ann is working with CMM. I sent her a hi! note and described VISIBILITY a bit. We’ll see what happens.
  • Looking into the role issue from Friday. Found it. Tables that the user can see are based on loaded tables. If you make a table and then use it in a dashboard, you won’t be able to use it until you log in again. Going to add to the tableList
  • Had to deal with some Eclipse 3.5.1 -> 3.6.0 eclipse issues. First, I forgot that M2_REPO had to be in the project’s link list. Then there were a few POM problems (version stuff mostly), and then there were some issues with access permissions on some files that the Ingest Manager server code was using. Seems to be working now.
  • Added Dong’s version popup to the Data Visualization app. Going to add it to the other apps in the suite as well.

Phil 9.24.2010

7:30 – 4:30VISIBILITY

  • Sat down with Masha M to walk through what she’s trying to do with SLA
    • Ingested a new data table and played around with it.
    • Tried to make a new dashboard with the table she loaded. It saved OK, but wouldn’t load in. Permission problem.
  • Working the autosave problem, but with interruptions. Hmmm. Seems to work here
  • Going to add in Dong’s “about” dialog, but on Monday, now that I’ve got everything checked out and running.
  • Talked to Anne. Meeting on Oct 4th(?) am

  • Meeting with Trish. I have screenshots of the following
    • Budget Center Management still has duplicate entries
    • Financial panels need to be sorted by date first, in ascending order
    • Incorrect inclusion of title on Financial Panel General data
    • Name lists should be sorted by last name. It looks like they are sorted by first
    • Funding request is throwing an amount mismatch warning incorrectly
    • All entry fields in Financial Entry should have “cumulative” tooltip. In addition, “Reported Outlay $” should have “(In Service’s Financial System)”, and PM Actual Outlay $ should have “(Invoiced Work – anything not reflected in Reported)”

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • Mary M had uploaded and attempted to ingest a big spreadsheet. It still had some formatting and didn’t work. I removed the formatting and re-ingested. She’ll be out until the 25th, so we’ll have to wait to see how that worked out
  • Installed the new SWF from Dong. All appears to be working and it looks like all the users have been added.
  • Asked Dong to put together an “about” panel that has the compiled date in it. That turned out great. I’m going to add that to the other pieces of VISIBILITY
