8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups and some security updates.
  • After my thrill-packed afternoon of setting up my IDE so that I could do some work, it’s back to my regular IDE. Ah well, it’s good to keep everything up to date at home.
  • Downloading and installing the new Cygwin. No, I lied. The download stops about 33% in. Grr.
  • I had an interesting web.xml problem for the last few days that was bothering me:Description Resource Path Location Type
     The content of element type "web-app" must match 
    "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*,
    filter-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mapping*,
    welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,
    resource-ref*,security-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,
    ejb-ref*,ejb-local-ref*)". web.xml 
    /VisibilityScriptingServer/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF line 5 XML Problem
  • What this means is that some of the elements are out of order. If you match the order of the elements in the xml file to the list in the error message, that completely fixes it. In my case, I had the <servlet> and the <servlet-mapping> tags associated, since that helps readability. But no, we don’t get to do that. Moving all the <servlet-mapping> tags to just before the <welcome-file-list> element did the trick. Yay!
  • Finished getUserId() and getRoleId(). Starting on updateVizTable()

7:30 – 3:30 SR

  • Went home yesterday to find my phone and internet knocked out. Oddly, after a Verizon reset the cable came back. Why that works and the other two don’t I have no idea. Service is scheduled between 1:00 – 5:00 so it’s either work from home or leave.
  • Backups
  • More work on changing the visibility_dev2 db on the fly.
  • Need to contact Jeremy (Shawn?) about a charge number.
  • Downloading everything so that I can work from home without an internet connection
    • Project files (zipped and workspace)
    • new xampp
    • sql db (VSS and VD2)
    • notes
    • Juno
  • Got home and put the old FIOS battery back in and bounced the system. I now have TV and internet. And literally, as I was typing this, the connection dropped out. Correlation without causation. And it’s back now….
    • Ticket: mddq03c37es
    • 12:32 – restored
    • 1:27 – down (could not find host)
    • 1:29 – restored.
    • 2:34 – down
    • 2:36 – up
    • 4:09 – down for two minutes
  • Building environment. Unzipping is really slow. And the workspace I copied over isn’t working, so I have to get my stuff from subversion, which means installing that…
  • But everything is running. And it’s 3:10. I got started around noon. Pity we can’t bill Verizon for this.

Phil 4.18.13

7:30 – 3:30 SR

  • Deployed test version of FA and new versions of PPM, PA and VSS.
  • The “Total” bug in PPM is half fixed.
  • Long discussion about FA. Our job is to determine how to work the FYear column (hopefully) into the existing database.

Dong Shin 04.17.2013

  • continue working on FA
    • added column filtering to Budget Center (Funding) datagrid
    • set rowCount to eliminate the empty rows
    • rearranged buttons and Totals (Allocated/Budgeted)
  • added VersionTracker to all projects
  • burned a CD for tomorrow.

Phil 4.17.13

8:00 – SR

  • Backups
  • There is a Viztool review set for tomorrow from 7:30 – 9:00. Need to check with Dong about having a deploy. The Version Checker in FlexUtils45 had to be updated to pass namespaces down to the SingletonDataDictionary. Though I’m not sure that I’ve checked that in yet.
  • Is it not possible to open an unfunded project? John Anderson’s GCC project will not open in PA or in the PPM project management screen. However, when the Project->Enter Monthly Status is clicked and the same project is selected in the folowing dialog and opened, it’s possible to access. Lenny just checked, and the project is unfunded. I know that we had some additional info and locks in a previous version. But there is nothing now (March 8 2013 at 6:07 AM).
  • Fixed some bugs in VersionTracker.
  • Started working on what the visibility_dev2 data functions should be:
  • VssNewMethods

Phil 4.16.13

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups
  • Lenny found a possible math problem with PPM, where sub project allocations are not summing correctly
  • Showed Lenny how to delete incorrect project info using the DB utils
  • Working on getting VSSTestbed up and running.
    • Adding a Web project to a server is easy, though you do have to start (possibly refresh) the server to get the files deployed to the server instance
    • The only place that it seems that you can add projects to be deployed is in the Deployment Assembly dialog in the Properties. Add any jar files or projects here. Note that if you ass a project, that the system builds a jar file for you here and deploys that to the WEB-INF/lib directory. There do not have to be any classes.
    • VSSTestbedConfig

4.15.13

8:00 – 10:00, 2:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Backups,
  • Financial
  • Starting to look at the date rollover script issue.
  • Getting VisibilityScripting to run on the Eclipse server – Looks like I have to create a new Dynamic Web project and can’t retrofit that into VSS. I think this is starting to look like a tomorrow thing…

Dong Shin 04.12.2013

  • deployed the new PPM, PA, and FA
    • problem with VersionTracker not creating database
    • max_allowed_packet option need to back up the visibility_scripting database
    • Lenny’s contracts data ingested successfully – ~488 rows
  • continue working on FA
    • added comments to Budget Center table
      • ALTER TABLE `budget_centers` ADD `comments` TEXT NULL
    • removed Funding Type, Org, Location from Budget Center

8:00 – 3:30 SR

  • Tried out FA and version tracker. VT is not creating tables, but we don’t know why. Need to add some tracking.
  • Found out that the backup of visibility_scripting.sql was corrupted because the packet size was too small. Wound up using the –max_allowed_packet=512M argument as shown here.
