  • Backups
  • Deployed new versions of PPM and PA. The PA html file won’t load properly in IE, though it does in Firefox. Trued taking the PPM html file which does work fine, and replace all ocurrances of ProjPortfolioMgr with ProjectAssistant. Same problem. And also the same condition that it works in FF but not IE. Odd. Will show Dong tomorrow.
  • Discussions with Lenny about getting our data pulls either tomorrow or Friday. Was also directed to make sure that Lenny and I were present on any demo that Don gives.
  • Checked out what Dong is doing with his queries. We’ll also try to implement the Alert query so we can have a fun display for the presentation later this month.
  • Back to ADF and JDeveloper.

8:30 – 2:20 ESSO

  • More ADF
  • Backups, and a non-demo. Will be rescheduled for later.
  • Got reamed for watching a YOuTube video. But did find that inspirational in the end.
  • Need to write up status report for Jim G.
  • Lenny found an odd bug where the text in one of the panels overwrites itself. Unable to print out. Will try tomorrow.

2:30 – 4:30 FP

  • Project review

Phil 12.3.12

8:00 – 10:00 ESSO

  • Backups.
  • Waited for Don a bit but no show. I guess we’ll figure out what kind of demo we’re going to do tomorrow when we get there.
  • Verified that Lenny had made a script for Carla. Yay, Lenny!

10:00 – 12:00 FP

  • Thermal interfaces and tangible interactions with multiple objects using Kinect. Cool stuff.

12:00 – 2:00 OH

  • FGM->White Cliff transition
  • Sent a note to Jim asking how we take our assets with us.

  • COGNOS Data to update PPM data
    1. Match COGNOS Requisition ID to MIPR (Funding Transaction Number)
    2. COGNOS Expensed Amount summed by month
    3. Overwrite existing PPM data
    4. Update continuously (daily?)
    5. If there is no value for Expensed Amount COGNOS column, then skip
    6. If there is a negative amount – i.e. ($10,123), subtract in the sum
    7. Ingest as “FACTS_Outlay_update”
  • created dummy FACTS_Outlay_update spreadsheet and ingested it – FACTS_Outlay_update.xls

Phil 11.27.12

8:00 – 2:00 ESSO

  • Discussion with Lenny and Dong about how to read in cognos data and use it to populate the FACTS fields in PPM and PA.
  • Backups
  • Working on the JDeveloper JSF tutorials – managed to crash JDeveloper.
  • Talked to Dong about next dev environments. We discussed Adobe and Netbeans in addition to what we’re using now. My thought is that if we can make a table and chart that allow us to visualize data sitting in a DB here and on site, we have a viable option. If it’s open source and supported by a player unlikely to go out of business any time soon, then so much the better.

2:00 – 4:00 FP

  • Qualitative Methods.

Phil 11.26.12

8:30 – 4:30 ESSO

  • Backups
  • More interaction with Don abo0ut what kind of visualizations he wants. Printed out a description of the putative table that we need to produce. Dong and I will try to code it tomorrow in site.
  • Put together FlexiCharts of ACC, since that appears to have vanished.
  • Got started back on JDeveloper and ADF.

Phil 11.21.12

8:00 – 4:00 ESSO

  • Meetings with everyone, Dan, Lenny, Chris.
  • Backups
  • 2:00pm meeting with Kristen
    • Meeting went well. I basically walked through how to use the Data Visualization and how PPM and PA generated data and where it was stored. We then talked about generating more graphics for her and how scripting could produce the tables she (implicitly) needs for the charts she wants.

Phil 11.20.12

7:30 – 2:30 ESSO

  • Deployed new PPM and IM
  • Discussions with Don about progress
  • Said hello to Chris
  • Discussions with Lenny, Carla and Tangie about progress
  • Discovered that the IM was broken on fgmdev, and I had forgotton how the system was set up. After a bit of help from Dong, fixed and updated the Vis2 and IM SWFs.

2:30 – 3:30 FP

  • Interview with Allison Y
