8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Got all the scripts up and running on the production server
• Added a backup batch file for VSS. Unable to copy files in the batch file, which is odd. The network was slow today, so that could have something to do with it. Since it’s exactly the same code (that looks at its own name for behavior), what works for move should work for copy.
• Talked to JR about reports. In addition to what we have now, she’s like to be able to show the zero, non-zero, and null values on a chart. Dong’s going to look into making that query.
• Still unable to get IE to open Data Navigator. I think I might have found the answer in LoginScreen. Mike had changed the call to usersAndRoles.getUserInfo(userName.text) so that there was a boolean that said to use the DN lookup. Set that to false. This makes sense, but now I’m confused why FF logged in. Burning a disk to bring in tomorrow. Will also add Dong’s scripts

8:00 – 3:30 ESSO

• Meeting w/ col Dukes is now the 19th?
• Made some scripts for Jessica which look cool, but vis2 is not logging in with ie
• Snapshot and excel dump are pointing to [object, object]
• Disabled the autologin and reactivated the alert that shows the endpoint if there is a connection fault.
• Added in a local log for vis2 that’s enabled by a <vis:localLog> tag in the SetupXML.xml file. Took a while thrashing with why it wasn’t working until we figured out that it was IE hanging on tenaciously to some cache.
• Burned new vis2 to disk

7:30 – 3:30 ESSO

• Getting up-to-date versions of VISIBILITY suite on disk
• Installed and updated test and production server. Interesting note, the ‘all databases’ argument to mySqldump was saving off an old(?) version of project_portfolio. Changing it so that the db was explicitly named fixed that.
• The new version of PPM went over very well.
• Regular Thursday meeting. Some rumor about the IG wanting to look at VISIBILITY?
• Upped the size of the mySql max_allowed_packet to 100M so that scripts could get published to the DB
• Upped the production server Xmx to 1024M and Xms to 512. Still getting out of memory errors on big pulls
• Set up a query that shows the amount of 2011 data still unset. Need to make the following changes:
  • Month numbers should become month names
  • Budget Center id needs to be BC name.
  • There should only be 3 results by month (NULL or ‘Nothing Entered’), 0.0, or ‘non-zero’
• Managed to kill WordPress for a minute by hitting the ‘back’ button, which inadvertently restarted a plugin update. This page fixed it nicely
• Started back on FlexiCharts

8:00 – 5:00  ESSO

• Backups
• Walked through the duplicating funding request bug with Jessica until it made sense
• Working on finishing the spreadsheet generator – done.
• Starting on Flexichart refinement again
• Deploy new stuff tomorrow while waiting for meeting.

• Printed out Mike’s Giant Query for Dong to take a look at
• Making a version of Jessica’s cognos(?)  spreadsheet. About halfway through.

8:00 – 4:00 – ESSO

• Rain is nice after the heat spell. Maybe I’ll get to open the windows today?
• Adding getInfo test to VisibilityScripting. Done
• Set the server and local logs on IngestManager to visible.
• So the problem turned out to be that amfsecure wasn’t set in the endpoint, just amf. Now, as far as I understand it, everything should be running amfsecure that’s using https, so how VISIBILITY and AccountsManager are working is something I find confusing. THe only thing I can think of is that the SWCs on VSS and IM are now compiled using Flexbuilder, and the others are being compiled with Maven and the command line.

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Submitted status report for June
• Showed Jessical how to use the collection part of FlexiChart
• In response to a question about getting totals, I was going to open up the Scripting app, but was unable to log in. The server logs don’t work either, though the setupModel.xml file seems OK. IngestManager had the same problem. PPM, vis2, and AccountManager all are working fine. This could be because VSS and IM are new? Going to add more logging to see what’s going on in the connection process.
• Added some logging, but I really don’t see anything that could cause this

7:30 – 4:30 ESSO

• Submitted request for Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
• Spent some time with Jessica R. Going over charts for Col. Dukes. Tried to make sets, but D&D didn’t work. Behaves on my machine though.
• Worked on adding fixes to FlexiChart. My version of Eclipse is locking up with creation complete periodically.
• List of fixes
  • Data Field combobox needs to expand to fit longer names. Also adding tooltips
  • Need to update the documentation for FlexiChart
  • Only FACTS data should be hidden from non-admins
  • Desire to be able to promote/demote parents and children. It should be possible to promote a child to a parent and demote its parent to a child role
  • Need to see all parent/child budgets in project summary view
  • Change FACTS query so that spending lines continue rather than go to zero.
• Wrote up progress report for June

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Had to redo my PKI again this morning. At least I’m getting good at it.
• Rewrote the backup script so that it uses mvPlusDate.exe. It seems to be running OK
• Talked to Mike about transferring the effort over. It looks straightforward to implment an acceptable security plan, and Bill D. seems to be taking lead on this. If not, then I can put together a matrix that references the documentation.
• Reading the documentation
• Downloaded the new FlexiChart but I haven’t tried it yet.
• Asked Mike to document his maven artifact svn version number appender, which he has done and checked into his sandbox.

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Got my PKI certs behaving correctly – maybe.
• Meeting with Jessica, Mike and Dave W. Some discussions about priorities. Because of budget issues, the highest priority goal is to have everything running on the production server. This means that a test plan that (who?) will sign off on needs to be written and evaluated. This also means that some code that would be desired probably won’t get written.
• My slightly re-coded version of VisibilityScriptingServer worked out of the box, no debugging required.
• IngestManager couldn’t access the SSL xml exposed by the publisher servlet. We changed the Tomcat web.xml to open up http on port 80 so that the IngestManager wouldn’t have to use SSL. Since port 80 is only visible behind the firewall, this is probably kosher, if not optimal. May need to spend some time seriously grocking 2-way SSL. Either that or write a test plan.
• PPM Bugs for today (full list is here)
  • Financial Mitigation Plans cannot be opened for previous entries when skipped
  • Invoices cannot be opened
  • filter not working in Database Mgmt panel
  • sometimes Funding Request Save button not enabled

8:30 – 4:30 ESSO

• Bad traffic on 95 this morning.
• The PublisherServlet isn’t working on site. Setting it up for non-server debugging
  • Done. The PublisherServlet now has a main that lists all published tables and then the contents of a default table or one defined on the command line.
  • Found one potential bug. The ending date comment was not explicitly converted using toString(). It’s possible that might have had an effect?
  • Testing the servlet in Tomcat. Looks like it’s working. Need to burn a disk.
• Downloaded, de-mavenized and updated ProjPortfolioMgrClient and ProjectAssistant.
• Updated PPM database

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Neat jQuery countdown timer here. Also cool is how the examples are embedded in the description.
• The problem with the excel files and image snapshots was that there was a

  <vis:download>https://127.0.0.1/Visibility3/downloads</vis:download>

  rather than

  <vis:downloads>https://127.0.0.1/Visibility3/downloads</vis:downloads>

  SingletonDataDictionary stored ‘download’ just fine and when widgetBase asked for ‘downloads’ SDD didn’t know what to return and returned an empty object. Added a warning logger message whenever getItem returns an unset item.

• Got VisibilityScripting up and running. Oddly, there were no server settings, which had to be added. Checked in now.
• ….and then I spent the rest of the day dealing with software updates. Sigh.

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• Well, I can log into the integration machine, but not the test. Submitted a ticket
• Web-based IDE! http://c9.io/
• PPM issues:
  • Turn off (column) sorting on Project Data entry
  • Gray out non-editable fields in PPM.
• Icons work in the Network Widget. I can’t save out excel files or screenshots. Next thing on the list…

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

• More effort expended on getting my admin password
• Meeting with Denise P
• Checked fixed version of MavenAssist back into Sourceforge
• Testing icons in VISIBILITY
• Still need to download and install the following:
  • ManagementUtils – FB is having a hard time understanding this one. Fixed by deleting and reloading from SVN, then updating the Flex compiler
  • Visibility Scripting Server
  • PPM
  • PA
• I’m pulling out the dependencies on the VISIBILITY SWCs and adding in dependencies on projects. It makes rebuilding the application much cleaner, ensures that there will be no mismatch between library code in the editor and what’s being linked in. I think a dummy project that pulls in the appropriate swcs and puts them in the repository may still be a good idea.
