7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • Cleaning up and commenting the InfoObjectEvent code
  • This is very interesting: schema.org. Bing, Google and Yahoo are using it. It would be nice to make an ingestor that would be able to look through a tagged document and build a variety of tables…?
  • Progress with the server! Was able to fill out a *new* form that requests firewall access. This works as an addendum to the original port request.
  • Bill Dolly came over for drinks and discussion

5:30 – 6:30 – FP

  • Walked through some of Tom’s code, and showed him how to use pointers to copy memory, regardless of how it’s typed.

7:30 – 11:00, 3:30 – 5:00 VISIBILITY

  • Turns out it’s my IT band that’s the problem, not the LCL. Need to make a PT appt this week.
  • Working on callbacks from InfoObjectManager. Looks like everything is working. Need to test,  add comments, and check in
  • Helped Brian register Jeff’s server for dual-facing proxy service

Phil 6.3.11

8:00 – 3:00 VISIBILITY

  • Producing a few more tables from the General categories.
  • The InfoObjectManager cannot tell you that a database call that does not return any results (i.e. an INSERT) has returned successfully or failed. Fixing that.
  • No progress on getting ports opened.

  • Trying to figure out the report creation scheme of SonicRecruit. The help is absolute crap.

FP

  • Worked with Tom on putting together a better-structured testbed

Cool thing:

  • Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.

FGM

  • Submitted my paperwork for class reimbursement.
  • Was able to generate excel docs from sonicats records. Need to save off a few queries (reports?) and export to visibility
    • And make a Recruiting role
    • And add (who?) to the role
    • And make a slideshow.

Phil 5.27.11

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • I have a UPS! And Service Pack 7! It’s almost like Christmas – maybe Hogswatchnight.
  • Going over Trish’s new requests with Dong:
  • Discovered PortQuery, just what I wanted! Burning a copy to CD.
  • Tried out portquery. It turns out that there is someting between my desktop box and the VM that Tomcat is running on. Regardless of whether or not I have Tomcat running, ports 443 and 80 read as LISTENING from my desktop. Running from the VM, turning Tomcat on and off chage the ports from LISTENING to NOT LISTENING. Trying to track that down.

7:30 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • It’s gonna be *hot* today.
  • Looking into the java.security.cert.CertificateException: java.io.IOException: DerInputStream.getLength(): lengthTag=109, too big.
  • Asked for port 443 to be opened based on Allen’s suggestion.
  • Still not sure if the certs are in correctly. When I was initially checking on Jeff’s machine, the cert came back as unverified when checking from an outside browser. On the machine itself, it was fine. Then later, it was fine. Very confused.
  • One of Jeff’s PKI team is sending be a section of their keystore ‘how to” for Windows Server that might be some help

FP

  • Ordered Tom’s parts
  • Ordered some pressure sensitive resistors to play with

Cool thing for the day:

Phil 5.25.11

7:30 – 5:30 VISIBILITY

  • Meeting with Trish
    • Rename appropriations so that the year is in parens  – i.e. R&D (FY10)
    • Make sure that the change ripples across the tables. It does not change in the Funding Request dialog
    • Have a line for each Direct Cite and for Reimbursable in financial status
      • And clicking on each line should bring up a unique dialog for that line
    • No ComboBox for Appropriation at the top of the Financial Status panel. Instead, on the right-hand side of the panel, have an appropriation year and appropriation month ComboBox. These should default to the correct month year for the project based on today’s date. In other words, if the money for the contract was appropriated (using project create) on Oct 1 2009 (i.e. FY10), and today is Oct 1 2010, then it’s October (month 1) of year 2.
    • Add a global refresh
    • Add an ‘Initiate’ Column and a ‘Commit’ Column to replace the Initiate/Commit’ column currently in the financial status
    • Add an ‘Initiate’ field and a ‘Commit’ field to replace the Initiate/Commit’ field currently in the funding request
    • Percent in financial status needs to be calculated against the goal percentage based on the current month/year in the appropriation cycle
  • Had another power failure last night – still need a UPS
  • Looking through Tomcat documentation to see if I can find what’s going on with my problem child server

Phil 5.23.11

7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • Added default login to RFlexClient – done
  • Write up RFlex description – done
  • Study https tomcat setup – see if there is anything I’m missing.
  • Actually got a Server up! It’s one of Jeff’s but I am not complaining 🙂

Phil 5.23.11

7:30 – 5:00 VISIBILITY

  • Deploy VISIBILITY analytics onto fgmdev
    • Write up a description
    • Change the browser tab.
    • Had some wierdness getting all the pieces to work. Some of it was lampp, and some of it was that my VISIBILITY account didn’t have the right permissions.
  • Having some problems with subversion. Trying this: http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL – nope.
  • Set up Keystore and truststore files for all servers. Still can’t see the test machine from my desk, but firefox running on the server can run https to the IP just fine. Also tried getting Jeff’s machine working, but it seems to be running another server(?). Will look at that in more detail today.

8:00 – 5:00 VISIBILITY

  • One working day until The Rapture!
  • We had a power failure last night – somehow the windows box kept the windows state and went into hibernate. I am impressed. Still need to get a UPS though.
  • Added a *working* version of precompiled inserts to InfoObjectManager.java
  • Found out that I had put combined the wrong domain name with the right ip address (or was it the other way around?). Anyway, submitted cert requests for the following:
    • Integration VM
    • Production VM
    • Jeff’s infovis7 box

Phil 11.19.11

7:30 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • Copied over all the QueryBuilderBase pieces from GenericQueryWidget.
    • Going to alter so that the UserInfoObject and endpoints are [Bindable] variables rather than being pulled in.
    • Altering query result handling so that the data is used to populate statistical arrays rather than launching a new chart panel
      • Getting table names
      • Getting columns
      • Extracting data from columns.
  • Helped Shawna(?) a bit with diagnosing the issue with the S2F server. Ping is blocked too, so I pointer her at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314067
  • Discovered a bug in FLAILS. Changing the input to precompiled queries.

Phil 5.18.11

7:30- 4:30 VISIBILITY

  • Talked to Dong about integration of appropriation info into the Financial Status panel. We decided that we were both confused and that Trish needed to come over before any more progress could be made. In the meantime, Dong is going to work on generating reports.
  • More on getting users and roles in RFlexClient
  • Hmm. Looks like to have tests in maven work, the directory containing FlashPlayer needs to be on the path. Added
  • Got login working
  • Working on building a query object
  • Got a domain name to get the PuTTY account that allows me to set up an SSH tunnel to the server. When I tried to remote desktop in though, it timed out. Sent Allen a note with screenshots.
  • Had a good talk with Denise about server certs and oddly enough, cycling.

  • OK, to install the new Adobe Reader, you must have version 10 installed already. Otherwise you get “adobe reader error code 13050”
  • Databases for Visibility, PPM, users and roles, and scripting are installed.
  • Installing tortoise svn
  • Started getting Users and Roles integrated with RFlexClient
  • Got the signed certificate back. Generated the keystore and truststore. Waiting for login info for the integration server
