  • Had to bounce the server for some reason. The publisher servlet was not working correctly…
  • Turned off the Alert* scripts by setting the time to null in the DB. The VSS app isn’t working for this.
  • Rolled the PA back to the version compiled of Feb 4, due to an incomplete SQL being sent to the server.
  • Wrote up status report for Feb
  • Sent meeting notes to PIT crew.
  • Back to YUI and JavaScript. Webstorm came out with a new version (6.0), which is quite pretty:
    Back to the Future?

  • Finished Chapter 3 UI Effects and Interactions. It mostly made sense.

7:30 – 3:30 – ESSO

  • Good meeting with most of ISR-PMO, it seemed about PPM 2.0 (Beyte) The features are roughly as folows
  • Main panel
    • Global search (includes ad-hoc columns for things like searches for ACRN#)
    • Project selection dialog
    • User management
    • Appropriation Management
    • Project Mapping
      • Left Panel (project)
        • Project info. Move all the common elements from budget centers, etc to project info
      • Middle Panel (Req’s)
        • Funding by MIPR/EA
        • Date requested from service
        • Date received from service
        • Date submitted to BA/BF
        • Accept date
        • Funded budget (equals committed – autofilled)
        • Total budget
        • S.O.W. (affords keyword search)
      • Right Panel (Contracts)
        • D&D between bottom and top panels
        • Columns can have all of the COGNOS data. Columns may be ad hoc, and should be selectaple, with stored preferences
        • Top Panel(mapped)
          • Tracking of contract-specific requests (i.e. “awaiting response for xxx”)
          • Sub funded budget amounts (for EA). If a mapped line item does not have all the funded budget amount, then the contract remains in the unclaimed section with the remaining $$ amount
          • May have a “placeholder” contract number that an unclaimed or automatically mapped contract can override (via D&D)
        • Bottom Panel (unclaimed)

7:30 – 3:30 OP_GEN_OPS

  • Well, it’s been a hell of a weekend. Last Friday, at 3:55 pm, I get an email from Facilities that we need to be ready to move out of the Mill at 9:00 AM on Monday. I say that we need a bit more time and that we are in the middle of some particularly intense work with the customer. They say, sorry, but you’re moving. I escalate up to the exec VP level and finally sanity returns and we have some time. It’s not quite done yet, as I need to get a letter from Mill management saying that we don’t have to return the spaces to their original condition, since that would require putting the old walls back up and covering them with mismatched paint.
  • But that’s not all. On Saturday, Dong and I get a stop work order from WCC: “The Government has directed that all contractors that they may not nor are they authorized to work outside of the current period of performance and funding.  No work may be done at risk.” aside from the somewhat incoherent grammar, my impression was that our contract had been a victim of sequestration. But when I swing by to discuss this with our customer, all the other contractors are there, and everyone swears that we have funding. We take this information to our management, who says, not, that’s wrong. Anyway, we get to spend at least one day charging overhead unable to do work. Grrr.

7:30 – 3:30 ESSO

  • Need to write up monthy status
  • Meeting to discuss contract relationships with PIT crew. We are starting to think that we can pull all this from Cognos and then correlate in a query script.
  • PPM Prototype Design

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

  • Went to burn a disk this morning but my “deploy” directory on Google Drive had not updated the vis2 swf. Dong’s zip files were there, And the assets directory had been touched. Odd. This could be from the new workspace install.
    • Verified that the files had been written into the right place. They’re just not updating. Somehow the files aren’t getting marked…
  • Deployed new PPM and PA
  • Checked out the Town Hall venue and made sure that the Data Visualizer would show up well.
  • Need to be by 7:30 tomorrow to support Town Hall
  • Burned a disk with new versions of PPM and Vis2
  • Lots of fun JavaScript today. YUI is nice and solid. The “plugin” components are particularly nice. Here’s a draggable, resizable square:
<style> #demo {     width: 100px; height: 100px; border: 1px #000 solid; background: #d72;     position: relative; } </style>
<div id="demo"></div>
<script src='http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.5.0/build/yui/yui-min.js'></script> 
<script> 
    YUI().use('dd-drag', 'dd-proxy', 'resize', 'resize-constrain', function (Y) {     
        var resize = new Y.Resize({ node: '#demo' });
        resize.plug(Y.Plugin.ResizeConstrained, {minWidth: 50, maxWidth: 200});
        var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({ node: '#demo' });     
        dd.plug(Y.Plugin.DDProxy); }); 
</script>

7:30 – 3:30 ESSO

  • No response from Dimitri WRT Webstorm request – Ping’d him – he’s going to do something?
  • Created slideshow for Chris. Still need budget info
  • Deployed a new Vis2 with tooltip zoom. It goes way too far. Scaling back to 1 – 4 is more than enough.
  • Two bugs
    • PPM – Data is not rolling up correctly in all fields, seems to only take the first project. The example to test against is ACC – AGS O&M (174596). It’s a real bug. Printed out some screen
    • The obligated amounts are not showing up on the charts. It looks like when we changed the tables we forgot to change the query. Fixed

Dong Shin 02.25.2013

  • Fixed PA showing invisible types (admins only) – Outlay $ (Reported in FACTS)
  • moved buttons to the top in PPM – ProjectMgmtPanel, CreateProjectPanel, UserRolesManagementPanel
  • added filter to Funding Request
  • Obligations weren’t showing in the FY13 summary charts – forgot to update quest when it was changed to Reported FACTS Obligated $: 

Phil 2.22.13

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.

Phil 2.21.13

7:30 – 2:30 ESSO

  • Deployed the new PA and demoed it to CB, TH, and CH. Generally good, but a few bugs

    • need to be able to link a project to multiple MIPRs and a MIPR to multiple projects

    • verify totals in the project mgmt screens are adding up
    • MIPR 172356 not setting funded budget in PA from committed in funding request
    • Add search feature to “project to create funding request”, (Actually, all dialogs in PPM)
