7:30 – 4:00 ESSO

  • Meeting with Chris, Tangie, Carla and Tom.
    • Make the tooltip larger
    • MIPR-based query
    • Did the math on John P’s project and it turned out to be correct, but the “overview” line items had only three rows when there should have been 5. That and the Funded Budget is still dissapearing.
    • Tangie needs to follow up with her person who was having the amfsecure problem
    • Need to make slide show of scaled panels on Monday
  • Working on adding slider for tooltip scaling when FB started to freeze. The only fix is to create a new workspace, check everything out of SVN again and rebuild.
  • Done. Burned a disk with the new version.

  • Dentist this morning
  • Tried to swing by the customer site this morning – not a *single* parking space
  • Installed new video drivers, which led to some cleanup.
  • Back to YUI. Need to write up a justification by Thursday for Dong and I to get Webstorm at least, possibly IntelleJ
  • Multithreading in JavaScript: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/workers/basics/

Dong Shin 02.15.2013

  • deployed new PPM and PA – didn’t go well,
    • PA’s Project list behaving weird, graying out all projects.
    • Refresh need after Planned Values update
    • SQL Errors. Test with multiple funding requests – happens when more than one MIPR in a funding request
  • Annoying Adobe support not giving the license for Flash Builder 4.7
  • re-installing Flash Builder 4.6

Phil 2.15.13

8:00 – 3:00 ESSO

  • Viztool review Thursday 21 at 8:00
  • Deployed new versions of PPM and PA
    • Text is graying out oddly. The short-term answer could be to leave the colored indicator grayed out, but leave the text intact.
    • Planned outlays need to refresh on save.
    • We really need to get all the “save” buttons in the same place on the screen, ideally near the upper left.
  • YUI 3.5.1 is available on-site
  • Got a local version ofYUI 3.8.1 running on my local tomcat server (as per example 1-8 in the YUI cookbook) . So far, so good. Now is a nice time to stop for the weekend

Dong Shin 02.14.2013

  • FGM Mail down? can’t get to the web mail either….
  • added Budget Center DropdownList to the status view, added event handler to change data
  • added a flag to keep track of Funded Budget (Commit in the Funding Request table) in the database – done!
    • ALTER TABLE `funding_requests` ADD `commit_flag` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `commit`
    • UPDATE funding_requests SET commit_flag = 1 WHERE COMMIT > 0
    • DBUpdateSQLs02142013.sql
    • query to update commit_flag
      • UPDATE funding_requests SET commit_flag = 1 WHERE funding_requests.uid IN
        (SELECT funding_request_id FROM _funding_requests_budget_centers
        WHERE budget_center_id = 18)
  • changed PPM to keep track of the funded budget flag in the funding requests
  • disabled projects in PA that has $0 budgeted amount in funding requests
  • trouble shooting 4.7 install issues…. no luck, java crashes in memory dump found in the installation directory. uninstalling and re-install 4.6

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

  • Icy today. The roads were OK, but the parking lots…
  • Having an odd endpoint problem. Getting a “Channel.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed runSQL – [object Operation] endpoint https://…/ProjPortfolioMgr/messagebroker/amf. It may need to be amfsecure. Testing…
  • Although I like the Cloud9 IDE, it can’t handle the YUI ().use(….) pattern. Apparently Webstorm can. Getting the download (sigh) now.
  • That works like a charm. To add the YUI libraries, go Settings -> JavaScript -> Librares -> Download… -> and choose the library. And webGL is supported as well! IntelleJ (JetBrains’ Java IDE) may support this as well. Something to think about.

Dong Shin 02.13.2013

  • VizTool status meeting at Fort
  • Changed Reported Actual Obligated to Reported FACTS Obligated, no need to update database as of today.
  • continue working on Planned Obligation/Outlay Editor
    • got edit to work – saves to database!
  • moved buttons to the top
  • resized the Financial Data Navigator window
  • added DropDownList to Status view to filter MIPRs
    • still needs filtering
  • managed to corrupt the workspace I was using Flash Builder 4.7 with… and couldn’t get 4.7 to start! removed and re-installed, but no luck. going back to 4.6

Phil 2.13.13

7:30  – 3:30 ESSO

  • Still feel like crap, though I am now on antibiotics.
  • Meetings until noon. Dong is going to handle the Capability Review.
  • Changed Reported Actual Obligated to Reported FACTS Obligated in project_portfolio
  • Stated digging into YUI. While looking for an IDE, stumbled upon Cloud9 (c9.io), which is a cloud-based IDE developed initially for JavaScript, with jsHint support. Trying out some YUI code from the book. So far, so good! No server side Java support though. Need to see if the code can reach out to a dev server.

8:30 – 4:30 ESSO

  • Was going to go to CASPORT users group, but had to write a status report for Jim G. instead.
  • Backups
  • More Javascript OO programming today…
  • The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library was the first to include parasitic combination inheritance in a widely distributed JavaScript library via the Y.extend() method. YUI is a free, open source JavaScript and CSS library for building richly interactive web applications.” Nice documentation and examples…
  • Jumped ahead to tools and found jshint, which is at http://jshint.com. There is also another lint, JavaScript Lint that runs in windows explorer. it’s here: http://www.javascriptlint.com
  • Ok, I think I’m going to try some YUI tutorials. Confident enough to get the Kindle edition of the YUI 3 Cookbook. I need some standalone examples.
