7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Got a big delivery of FP stuff yesterday. Brought it in along with the tweezers and ruler.
• Project creation today
  • Added Menus
  • Added Project Panel
  • Added States

8:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Larry needs a VISIBILITY architecture diagram? Yep. Working on that. Done.
• Sent Christine a snapshot of my User Settings
• More work on the project tracker. Finished login.

8:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Helped Mike with getting Dong’s Data Manager to compile
• ProjectTrackLite
  • Flex client project is up and running
  • Java server poject is started and compiling
  • Getting the user remote object to behave. Ran into some trouble geting the amf messagebrokjer to behave. The most important thing seems to have been that the blaze jhar files wer not dependencies in the pom. After some tweaking, that seems to have gotten the instance successfully deployed by Tomcat and is working.
  • Getting the improved config manager working. Done. All you have to do now to access a value in the setupModel.xml file is run the ConfigLoader and add a listener (and function) for the values you want to watch.

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Looks like the Unix server that we thought we might be getting is in fact a web page that we could edit on an existing server. Which isn’t at all what we need. The guy (Charles H.) who’s handing the ticket is looking into the matter to see who we have to talk to to get a real server
  • Update – CH found a place that might be able to set up a server for us. He sent me an email on my other accounts with the info. I’ll check into it tomorrow.
• Talked to Mike Cowan today about sharepoint. He agreed with Walter Jones that communication between VISIBILITY and Sharepoint could be done by a webservice that sends a list consisting of zipped db tables in a list. Even more simply, we can get data out of Sharepoint by having the data table webpage (webpart?) provide an RSS feed of the data, which would be pretty easy to parse. No data upload that way though
  • We also wrapped the VISIBILITY Data Navigator web page inside a webpart in Sharepoint. It worked just fine.
• Ordered a bunch of stuff for the FP
• Testing PPM
  • Got an error when selecting a user to modify:

    • status: false
      sqlStr: SELECT * FROM user_roles, roles WHERE login ='pgfeldm' AND role_id = id
      statusString: Error occurred during runSQL()
      errorString:
      exception: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'project_portfolio.user_roles' doesn't exist
      data:

  • The vertical sizing of the panels is off. This may be related to the fact that the Arial font is being used again?
• Worked a bit on ProjectTrackLite
  • Building in Flashbuilder and Maven
  • Using Mike’s new DynamicPanel. Need to add a listener/handler for a closeEvent.
  • Adding bits to FGMUtils
  • Working on the login. Trying it with the SingletonDataDictionary

8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• It looks like S3 might be able to let us have a Unix (Linux?) Server equipped with Tomcat and mySql
• Working on requirements app. Table descriptions are here. More requirements to follow, probably
• Interview with Walter Jones
• Wrote a Java test for interviewees. We’ll see if we use it.

7:30 – 5:30VISIBILITY

• We should do something to celebrate at 1:11 this afternoon
• Wrote up a quick estimate of the effort required for the S2/SV effort
• Working on the VIS4 plan – finished initial. Need to break into a set of traceable requirements
• Looking for a requirements tracking package. Eclipse has some nice vaporware (useme), and there are a lot of bug trackers like jira, but nothing else I can find. Grr.

8:00 – 4:30VISIBILITY

• Ann made a nice big spreadsheet of + data, which I broke up into nice-sized bits and ingested. I added Matt and Anne to the role and told them that the data was up. We’ll see what happens next.
• Writing up requirements for VIS4
• Finally did the 312 briefing
• Pointed Tom at programmable amplifier IC chips

8:00 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Pinged Katie G about a T09 demo
• Worked on getting some + demo data with Anne.
• Writing up some grist for VISIBILITY4 development effort. Got through intro, framework, formbuilder, and scripting.
• Ingested some data for Brian to demo
• Came back from the ride knowing how to put all the pieces together, so here it is:
• That’s a java app, using the DJ framework, talking through a servlet, interacting with the host OS, all using object serialization :-). I can now have a nice weekend.
