Phil 7.12.12

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

Dong Shin 07.11.2012

  • bugs – not deleting Funding Requests when a project is deleted

  • PPM
    • corrected all database scripts to use project_portfolio
  • PA
    • configurable columns display – done

        UPDATE `obligation_outlay_types` SET `visible` = ‘1’ WHERE `obligation_outlay_types`.`uid` =1;
        UPDATE `obligation_outlay_types` SET `visible` = ‘1’ WHERE `obligation_outlay_types`.`uid` =2;
        UPDATE `obligation_outlay_types` SET `visible` = ‘1’ WHERE `obligation_outlay_types`.`uid` =3;
        UPDATE `obligation_outlay_types` SET `visible` = ‘1’ WHERE `obligation_outlay_types`.`uid` =4;
        UPDATE `obligation_outlay_types` SET `visible` = ‘1’ WHERE `obligation_outlay_types`.`uid` =5;
        UPDATE `obligation_outlay_types` SET `visible` = ‘0’ WHERE `obligation_outlay_types`.`uid` =6;

Phil 7.9.12

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.

Phil 7.6.12

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

Phil 7.5.12

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

Phil 7.3.12

8:00 – 2:30 ESSO

  • Got all of Mike’s dev stuff from his various flippsers
  • Changed the TestServlet so that it’s fired in Visibility3 rather than VisibilityScriptingServer. Added an html redirect file to the VisibilityScriptingServer directory (TestServlet/index.html), so that the documentation doesn’t have to be changed.
  • Deleted fgm-security-pki project from my workspace. It really didn’t want to go – I had to quit eclipse, delete the folders, then restart eclipse and delete the ghost of the project
  • Added fgm-security-pki back in from svn. This time, I disconnected the maven nature, ran eclipse:eclipse in mvnAssist, and not the project appears to work correctly.

2:30 – 4:00 FP

  • PAD meeting

Phil 7.2.12

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.

Dong Shin 07.02.2012
