VetMed Developers Meeting
CERE Integration
Coordinating various processes running/updating to CERE
Keith - Wrapping up current features on CREST
Scott - Batch processing for checks against CREST to update schedule data in CERE;
Group Discussion: Consider logging and every .5 hrs to determine impact on performance; initial changes more frequent than later methods; unsure of performance of CRUD during batching - generation of orphans? race conditions? both processes using web services
Scott, Chris, Keith -
Discussion of changes to information sharing between systems. Data from CREST to CERE does not have the concept of sections; Scheduling data may differ between course and labs.
Possible resolution of sessions based on student group? May have issues with users in multiple 299's; not an imminent problem but needs to be addressed down the road.
Checking for batch run is a field by field comparison - need to verify; Ray will check out new code on my this afternoon;
Decision: Run process every .5 hrs on 15 and 45 after the hour; modify based on logged responses, if needed
EVALS
Scott - Phil is almost done w/template generation (authoring);
Status of taking the evaluation and presentation aspects of; Scott now working on taking evaluation portion, but will hand off to Phil; Scott will shift to working on the interface, i.e., viewing what evals are available. He will coordinate w/Chris for mockups of evaluation listings on user's MyWorkspace to linkto or access evaluation tool embedded in the course site.

Existing issue tracking in SVM HelpDesk system
