  • Normal backups
  • I tried making a full backup of the system using the following arguments:
    • mysqldump – u root -pxxxx –all-databases –max_allowed_packet=512M –routines > fullbackup.sql
  • That appeared to work fine, creating a file 148,338KB big
  • I tried to ingest the file in the new instance on the integration machine using:
    • mysql -u root -pxxxx < fullbackup.sql
  • That gave the following error:
    • ERROR 2006 (HY000) at line 4729: MySQL server has gone away
  • Line 4729 turns out to be “INSERT INTO `query_logs` VALUES(…), which is *huge*. Not sure what to do about that. I did check to see that the line isn’t truncated, so that’s not the problem. Just to make sure, I ran it again with the same message at the same line
  • This post at stackOverflow suggests that it’s a max_packet_size problem. Going to try that. Changed from 1M to 12M as per the suggestion.
  • Same error, but new line (6367). Going to try 24M
  • Same error, but new line (6373). Going to try 512M, same as the mysqldump command..?
  • Yay! That did it.
  • Finished generating C/C++ and Flex svn statisitics. Interestingly, in the “lines committed” charts, you can see the difference between mature development and ongoing development:

  • Mature profile of server codebase

     

  • Ongoing rapid development of GUI

     

  • Ok, back to unit tests.

  • continue working on FA
    • Req Info datagrid preferences saved
      • created a base class – FilterableDG that manages column preferences and saves info
    • added column filter preferences to Project Mgmt panel
      • ID column not in filter – used as tree navigation for Parent/Chile projects
    • removed the references to budget_centers table when saving projects
    • reworking Budget Info to get correct appropriation length  – done
    • noticed that sub center name and number were added to the budget_center table, not projects table – fixed
      • ALTER TABLE `projects` ADD `sub_center_name` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL ,
        ADD `sub_center_number` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL

  • Wow. It’s May. AND IT’S NOT RAINING!
  • Copied over the new xampp to the integration machine and tried the “copy the  data directory” trick. No good. Tomorrow I’ll try doing it the right way. Need to make sure with Dong that the stored procedures are backed up along with everything else in a database.
  • More Junit.
  • Since reviews are coming up, I figured that I’d show what we’ve been doing. Using statsSVN, I generated a microsite for Java,  Flex and C/C++ development.
    • Note – currently only the Java folder is up. Everything else is still being processed. Apparently  StatsSVN is much faster with Java…

8:00 – 4:30 SR

  • Copied over the new xampp, but the data files didn’t track. It lloks like I need to set the root and user passwords, then restore from backups. There may be a way to do that in one fell swoop, so I’m going to research that a bit. Put the old version back up.
  • Got the code written in the junit code that should set up a test db for visibility_dev2 and visibility_scripting. Need to verify that it works and then start building up the tests.
  • It didn’t work, but I imported and modified Dong’s ScriptRunner. That works just fine.
  • Got completely derailed playing with LightTable (setup?). It is very cool, with the capability to run Java directly where it clojure can’t do the job : 
    user=> (javax.swing.JOptionPane/showMessageDialog nil "Hello World")

    It also will act as a server to a web page by loading the following script:

8:00 – 12:00 OH

  • Class

12:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Test cases for ScriptFacades
  • Updating Java first.
  • I think I want to make the test cases create a “test” database and populate it in the setup, then destroy it at the end of the test. The .sql file can be in the assets. This does mean that the database access methods (_dbHelper? Others? have to know about this DB).

  • debugging Tomcat webapps via Eclipse
  • continue working on FA
    • cleaning up and consolidating database
      • DELETE FROM budget_centers WHERE project_id NOT IN (SELECT uid FROM projects)
      • DELETE FROM budget_amounts WHERE budget_center_id NOT IN (SELECT uid FROM budget_centers)
      • update budget_centers table with budget_amounts data
        • UPDATE budget_centers c1
          INNER JOIN (
          SELECT a.budget_center_id as budget_center_id, begin_year + a.year – 1 AS fiscal_year_new, a.amount AS total_budget_new
          FROM projects p, budget_centers c, budget_amounts a
          WHERE a.amount <> 0
          AND p.uid = c.project_id
          AND c.uid = a.budget_center_id) T ON c1.uid = t.budget_center_id
          SET fiscal_year = t.fiscal_year_new, total_budget = total_budget_new
      • DROP TABLE budget_amounts

      • DELETE o.* FROM `obligations_outlays` o INNER JOIN budget_centers c

        ON o.funding_id = c.uid AND o.year <> c.fiscal_year;

Dong Shin 04.26.2013

  • continue working on FA
    • changed SOW to MIPR Description
    • reworked Totals Data Grid to calculate totals correctly using ArrayCollection chagen event handler
    • working on saving column preferences
      • added new column to users table
        • ALTER TABLE `users` ADD `column_preferences` TEXT NULL

8:00- 3:00 SR

  • And I would’ve started at 7:30, but traffic was terrible. Two lanes of 95 shut down. Possibly both sides? 
  • Backups
  • Updated Java. Still waiting on MySQL
  • Adding comments to ScriptFacades.
  • A “standard list of metasyntactic variables used in syntax examples” often used in the United States is: foo, bar, baz, qux, quux, corge, grault, garply, waldo, fred, plugh, xyzzy, thud. The word foo occurs in over 330 RFCs and bar occurs in over 290. Wibble, wobble, wubble, Fred and flob are often used in the UK  (wikipedia)
  • Done commenting and adding to method list. Testing in Eclipse after lunch.

7:30 – 3:30 SR

  • Backups
  • Add a “create” button to FA that makes a subproject by copying over all the project information (with “sub_n”) appended to the name/id
  • Change the SOW column to say “MIPR Description”
  • Add “calculate” button for project budget overview so we don’t have to trap lots of editing events
  • Finished and tested the following:
    • getDashTemplateXml()
    • setDashTemplateXml()

Dong Shin 04.24.2013

  • deployed new FA – few bugs
    • no columns showing in Filter Columns windows – fixed
    • uploaded info is too long – set as the tooltip on the Upload Data button
    • color the Upload Data button, not the text – done

Phil 4.24.13

8:00 – 4:00 – SR

  • backups
  • Installed new version of FA
  • table_dash_templates
    • name
    • xml_layout_template
    • xml_variables – gives something to iterate over
  • Nearly done. Finish tomorrow, though I have to build test classes.
  • New version of FA to bring in.

Dong Shin 04.22.2013

  • continue working on FA
    • added Funded Amount and Un-Funded Amount to Project and Sub-Project totals
    • removed totals for project and sub projects
    • working on CurrencyTextInput to be used for Req data – done
    • added more columns to budget_centers table
      • ALTER TABLE `budget_centers` ADD `fiscal_year` DECIMAL( 4 ) NULL ,
        ADD `unfunded_amount` DECIMAL( 10, 2 ) NULL
    • Totals from Req Data are calculated and updated dynamically

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()
