7:30 – 6:00 VISIBILITY

  • Caught up with Dong a bit on the Financial Status part that we were working on before the email fire drill
  • We also discussed generating VISIBILITY reports based on financial data. I’ll be showing him how the Scripting system works so he can start mining the PPM data.
  • Scatterplots and coefficients and CONOVA, oh my!
  • And I need to tie into the VISIBILITY remote object so I can start working with those tables…
  • CMM meeting. They like what they see, but don’t want to pay for it.
  • More privac crap

Today is a recap of everything that has taken place over the past week…

  • This past week I spent way too much time trying to get Ingest Manager and Account Manager to work. Eventually I discovered through errors received that I needed to checkout and get Visibility 3 installed on my machine.
  • After syncing up visibility 3 with my database settings (created a user account specifically for this project), I continued to hit brick walls. Final result, eliminated use of the RemoteObjectTestbed project, deployed Visibility 3 under webapps and changed the output directory of the Ingest Manager and Account Manager projects to build within webapps/Vis3.
  • Hit a few more snags today b/c AutoIngestor continued to throw some errors my way. After sending to Dong he discovered a bug in the code. Once fixed, I updated my code, rebuilt and *bam* both apps FINALLY worked
  • I have been able to successfully log into Account Manager, fix yet another error message by dropping and recreating the database, creating my user account and logging into Ingest Manager.
  • Next, I’ll be going through Ingest Manager to see what can be done to make it more user-friendly

  • Christine A. is having problem running Visibility.. I had to set up on my Mac, checked out the old stuff. It’s been a while.
  • found a bug in AutoIngest not creating autoingests table, fixed it.
  • tried to add Visibility 3 to Tomcat Server instance in Eclipse. Forgot to do eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=1.5 and wondered how to add the project to the server…..
  • PPM
    • cleaned up Financial Status

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • Trying to get R installed on fgmdev.
    • Followed the directions here (http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah/KB/R/documents/install.html). The packages appear to have downloaded and installed, but I am unable to get the console running
    • Ah. I needed to run ‘apt-get install r-base’
    • Installed the following packages: Rserve, car, vcd, effects, gplots, multcomp.
    • set R_HOME to /usr/lib/R
    • set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $R_HOME/lib
    • exported LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    • ran Rserve, which started Rserve as a daemon.
  • Meeting with Bill to discuss server things. I told him that I had been in contact with Denise WRT getting privac. He said that he would follow up, also got a note from Kris U. about tying into a mail server. Looks very doable.

7:30 – 3:30 visibility

  • VISIBILITY is back up on site
  • Denise responded to my privac request and passed it off to someone else in her office
  • Kris asked about if we required certs in our app. I told him no, that we could do without them.
  • Worked on adding Kruskal-Wallis and Welche’s W test to the one way ANOVA widget. I’m going to make it so that you check the tests and plots you want
  • Need to get R up and running on FGMdev so I can run this facing out.

Phil 3.10.11

7:30 – 6:30 VISIBILITY

  • Got the One-way ANOVA pretty much done
  • Went to the Site to get access to the server and discovered VISIBILITY server was down. Tried to send an email to vset but it bounced. Ended up sending an email to John W. Pick that up tomorrow after class
  • Sent an email to Denise about getting root access to the new VISIBILITY server
  • Started working on F* and W ANOVA variants.
  • All this statistics got me thinking. What if the amount of instructions it took to transform the two datasets until they were equal was tracked? Something along the lines of applying an n-dimensional convolution filter to n-dimensional histograms…

7:30 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

  • Sent Christine some screenshots of my setup for RemoteObjectTestbed
  • Server meetings this afternoon – looks like the goal is to have the server up and ready for us to load things on it by the end of April
  • Clean up some of the R code and make a correlation widget that accesses a VISIBILITY table.

Dong Shin 03.08.2011

  • PPM
    • Added dynamic button control updates to RequestEmailTextHBox so that the buttons get updated based on the projects selected
    • fixed a bug exporting projects out of FY range
    • fixed a bug filename not getting from description

Phil 3.8.11

7:00 – 7:00pm VISIBILITY

  • Walked through the new version of PPM with Christie, she thinks it’s fine, and will check with Trish. I’ll follow up at 3:00, when I have my meeting with Kris U.
  • Working from home this morning, waiting for my microwave.
  • Looks like the reason for the slowness of the RServe response was that the HashMap that I had the RConnection object wasn’t static. Odd, since the remote object appears to be persistent…
  • I have a new microwave!
  • R really hates windows paths – you have to make sure to replace all the instances of ” with ‘/’ or you kill R.
  • Got all the pieces working. Calculations, plots, the works. Need to do some clean up and commenting, and then make widgets!

Dong Shin 03.07.2011

  • PPM
    • revised Project Export to show distinct FY data with appropriation, FT name, FT number, Activity Amount
    • reworked the Export queries to retrieve valid data – invalid data retrieved…..
    • disabled status changes for non-selected projects in data request
    • added Export to Request Form

7:00 –  5:00 VISIBILITY

  • Somehow I lost last Friday’s entry.
    • Walked through the PPM app with Trich, Christie and Leah. There were some problems with how the spreadsheet was getting assembled, but they liked the message organizer.
    • Went over the changes with Dong. He finished up on Friday, and we’re testing today
    • Having very slow response from R when the remote object is running in the server. Odd, because response was immediate when the app was running in java directly. Have to poke at that.
  • Testing Dong’s update
  • Install this morning?
  • I may or may not be leaving this morning. I’m getting a range installed, but the delivery of the range may have been canceled.
  • Added RFlexServer and RFlexClient to SVN
  • Deployed the new PPM but items that had dollar figures did not post while items that did not have dollar figured *did* post. Talked to Dong about this,  and added the bug to the PPM list.
  • Got RFlexServer and RFlexClient running on my home box. Started working on why responses are so slow. THey are not, if R is not being called. Going to try making the reference static.
  • Got a new version of PPM from Dong and deployed it. It seems to be working, in that spreadsheets seem to have the appropriate numbers in them :-). I’m going to talk to Christine and Trish tomorrow.
  • Set up a meeting with Kris U. tomorrow at 3:00
