[04:51] <smavocet> Hi Thomas
[04:52] <tamsler> good morning
[04:52] <smavocet> looks like I made it
[04:52] <tamsler> 
[04:52] <jamesokay> hi all
[04:52] <smavocet> hi James
[04:53] <smavocet> Patrick Matthews said he'd join in also.
[04:53] <smavocet> Graduation was great
[04:53] <smavocet> sec of defense Gates was the speaker
[04:53] <smavocet> did a great job
[04:54] <jamesokay> Sounds better than the Davis one
[04:54] -->| Prabhu (n=prabhuem@041.127-30-64.ftth.swbr.surewest.net) has joined #ucdsakai
[04:54] <Prabhu> Good Morning
[04:54] <smavocet> hi prabhu
[04:54] <jamesokay> Good morning.
[04:55] <tamsler> Sandra: did u set the DB marker?
[04:57] <smavocet> I'm doing that right now
[04:57] <Prabhu> Scheduled DB full backup is completed
[04:58] <Prabhu> after the application is down, i will start the special internal schema backup
[04:59] <jamesokay> Okay. I'm putting all nodes into maintenance mode . . . . now.
[05:00] <smavocet> markers set
[05:01] <jamesokay> I'm now bringing down the instance on all seven servers.
[05:02] <jamesokay> Okay. We're down.
[05:03] <Prabhu> internal schema backup started
[05:05] <tamsler> I think the new help page has a spelling error in the second sentence: http://smartsite.ucdavis.edu:8000/smartsite/ucd-gateway/Gradebook2Documents.html
[05:05] <smavocet> oh dear
[05:05] <tamsler> I think "my" should be "many"
[05:06] <smavocet> I'll create a jira for it
[05:06] <jamesokay> You want me to fix it?
[05:06] <smavocet> sure
[05:08] <jamesokay> Okay, fixed on sakaiprod1. Let me know the jira number and I'll commit it.
[05:08] <tamsler> I think it's not a big deal yet. As Kirk said, nobody will look at it until next Tuesday
[05:08] <jamesokay> True.
[05:08] <tamsler> but fixing it is good
[05:08] <smavocet> if it doesn't add much trouble
[05:08] <smavocet> or time
[05:09] <smavocet> I'll create the jira anyway
[05:11] <tamsler> also should the first sentence read: " ... and to incorporate ..." instead of " ... and incorporate ..."
[05:12] <smavocet> oh gosh Thomas
[05:12] <tamsler> I will stop now
[05:12] <smavocet> I can't believe QA missed so much
[05:12] <jamesokay> Thomas is looking to become an English professor.
[05:12] <smavocet> no kidding
[05:12] <tamsler> oh yes
[05:13] <tamsler> I misspelled my middle name on Ethan's birth certificate but we just caught it on time before it went on record
[05:13] <smavocet>
[05:13] <jamesokay> Nice.
[05:14] -->| follower (n=chatzill@70-41-248-195.cust.wildblue.net) has joined #ucdsakai
[05:14] <smavocet> Hi Patrick
[05:15] <smavocet> follower = patrick matthews sys admin
[05:15] <smavocet> for joncarlo
[05:15] <follower> Good morning, I mistyped the room.
[05:15] <jamesokay> Morning.
[05:15] <smavocet> Prabhu is doing the backup all now
[05:16] <Prabhu> Hi Patrick
[05:17] <follower> Good Morning Prabhu
[05:21] <smavocet> James the area where you'll be moving is where my son lived in married student housing
[05:21] <jamesokay> What did he think of it?
[05:21] <smavocet> He liked it except
[05:21] <smavocet> there's a big shopping center nearby
[05:21] <smavocet> he says it attracts snooty people
[05:21] <smavocet> nice shopping center though
[05:22] <jamesokay> Ahhh... I think I saw it when I visited.
[05:22] <smavocet> love that grocery store qfc
[05:22] <smavocet> the shopping center just a few steps away from married student housing
[05:23] <jamesokay> Well, it's good to hear that that was his only issue with the area.
[05:23] <smavocet> yeah
[05:23] <jamesokay> We're 3/4 done with loading the trunk.
[05:24] <jamesokay> Today we've got to box up the last odds and ends.
[05:24] <smavocet> packing is the hardest
[05:24] <smavocet> once you get here, you'll be boxed for weeks
[05:24] <Prabhu> backup is at 85%...complete
[05:24] <smavocet> k prabhu Thanks
[05:29] <Prabhu> Ok....backup is done
[05:33] <jamesokay> You're running the scripts now, right?
[05:33] <Prabhu> shall I go ahead
[05:33] <jamesokay> Yes. I think so.
[05:34] <smavocet> yes
[05:36] <Prabhu> done with scripts. no errors found
[05:36] <jamesokay> Great. Bringing up sakaiprod1 now.
[05:36] <Prabhu> sending the log content by e-mail
[05:37] <jamesokay> sakaiprod1 is up. No errors.
[05:37] <smavocet> Thomas, when we're ready will you be the one to add gb2 to my course site?
[05:37] <jamesokay> I'm going to add the gb2 to the site.
[05:37] <smavocet> ok thanks
[05:38] <tamsler> catalina.out log looks good
[05:40] <jamesokay> Okay, I've added gb2 to AAS 070 001 W06.
[05:40] <smavocet> ok
[05:40] <smavocet> I'll start my QA
[05:40] <jamesokay> Note that the first two users don't seem to have names... so with the current code they appear as commas
[05:41] <smavocet> What?
[05:41] <smavocet> don't have names?
[05:41] <smavocet> They should
[05:41] <jamesokay> They're just email addresses.
[05:41] <tamsler> they are the guest users
[05:41] <smavocet> not steve faith
[05:42] <smavocet> guest sandra is a guest
[05:42] <smavocet> anyway, I'll do the qa now
[05:42] <tamsler> it's twenty83 and twentysix83
[05:42] <jamesokay> If you choose "Display Name" rather than last name first, you'll see the normal Sakai fill ins.
[05:45] <tamsler> looks like under student view -> Excuses ...
[05:46] <smavocet> not sure why I don't see the Unassigned category in gb2
[05:46] <tamsler> one of the entries bleeds into the checkbox column
[05:47] <smavocet> What happens to unassigned categories
[05:47] <smavocet> ?
[05:48] <jamesokay> Currently it's pushing "Unassigned" items into an existing category.
[05:48] <jamesokay> In this case, "Tests"
[05:48] <smavocet> Yeah, I just saw that
[05:49] <smavocet> Is that acceptable and expected behavior?
[05:49] <jamesokay> Yes. It's the way it's been working.
[05:49] <jamesokay> It's because originally we hadn't planned to surface "Unassigned" at all.
[05:49] <jamesokay> But had to put it back in for certain cases.
[05:49] <tamsler> if you look at the old GB under GB setup, it doesn't list it there either
[05:50] <jamesokay> It's only an issue with existing gradebooks.
[05:50] <smavocet> Nancy had a hard time moving items
[05:50] <jamesokay> They've been 'moved' in the db.
[05:51] <smavocet> Perhaps it's not an issue since most will start out fresh with gb2
[05:51] <smavocet> I think
[05:51] <jamesokay> Yes. We can easily modify this going forward now that we do surface "Unassigned".
[05:51] <Prabhu> i will be back in 5 min.
[05:52] <tamsler> James, shall I create a JIRA for the student view UI issue?
[05:52] <jamesokay> Yes, please.
[05:52] <tamsler> ok
[05:52] <smavocet> grading scale is correct
[05:52] <smavocet> course grades and grade override is correct
[05:53] <smavocet> seems that I can't change the grade override though
[05:54] <smavocet> it tells me request failed
[05:54] <smavocet> Why would that be
[05:54] <jamesokay> Problem.
[05:55] <jamesokay> Looks like somehow the institutional advisor patch didn't take. I'll take a quick look at the code.
[05:56] <jamesokay> Nice catch.
[05:57] <jamesokay> Okay, I'm going to quickly rebuild and redeploy. Think we're okay on time still?
[05:57] <tamsler> ok done : http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/GRBK-191
[05:57] <jamesokay> Here's the problem:
[05:57] <jamesokay> We were using the performanceAnalysis.xml import in the spring beans up until this past week.
[05:57] <jamesokay> So the patch was done against this import.
[05:58] <tamsler> +1
[05:58] <jamesokay> But last week I switched things over to gbServices.xml, which is similar but without the notification of how long each db query takes.
[05:58] <jamesokay> Doh. My bad.
[05:58] <jamesokay> Anyway, it's a quick fix.
[05:58] <smavocet> how long to rebuild and redeploy
[05:58] <jamesokay> About 5 mins.
[05:58] <smavocet> does prabhu have to run scripts again
[05:58] <tamsler> no
[05:59] <jamesokay> No.
[05:59] <smavocet> we have time then
[05:59] <jamesokay> Nothing except rebuilding the gb2 proj.
[05:59] <jamesokay> Which is done.
[05:59] <smavocet> shall I log out now then
[05:59] <jamesokay> I'm now going to bounce the server.
[05:59] <smavocet> k
[05:59] <tamsler> pl
[05:59] <tamsler> ok
[06:00] <jamesokay> It's coming up now. I'll post once it's available.
[06:01] <jamesokay> Back up.
[06:02] <jamesokay> But I'm now getting an exception in the UcdInstitutionalAdvisor. Weird. Let me take a quick look.
[06:04] <jamesokay> Looks like this is a bug that slipped thru.
[06:04] <smavocet> And while I can enter grades for items
[06:05] <smavocet> I still cannot enter a grade override
[06:05] <jamesokay> Yes.
[06:05] <smavocet> or rather I cannot change the grade override
[06:07] <jamesokay> I may be able to do a quick triage. 5 more mins.
[06:07] <smavocet> k
[06:10] <jamesokay> Okay. Sakaiprod1 is coming back up.
[06:11] <jamesokay> I've reverted the code to allow all grade overrides to be valid. Which is probably safe, but we can discuss Monday if we want to fix Tuesday morning.
[06:11] <jamesokay> Server's back up.
[06:12] <jamesokay> Grade override now works.
[06:12] <smavocet> yes, however
[06:12] <smavocet> In take a quiz2, I cannot enter points
[06:13] <smavocet> in take a midterm I can
[06:13] <jamesokay> That's because take a quiz2 is from "Tests & Quizzes"
[06:13] <jamesokay> We don't allow users to update externally managed item's points.
[06:13] <jamesokay> So you would have to go to Tests & Quizzes to modify them.
[06:14] <smavocet> k
[06:20] <jamesokay> What do we think? Should I bring up the other servers?
[06:21] <tamsler> +1
[06:21] <Prabhu> +1
[06:22] <smavocet> On the new category
[06:22] <smavocet> I just added on that site
[06:22] <smavocet> called new category
[06:22] <smavocet> I can't make it show up in the right pane
[06:23] <jamesokay> Sorry. I don't understand.
[06:23] <tamsler> you mean editing it?
[06:23] <smavocet> oh wait, no it's there
[06:23] <smavocet> yeah, inserting grades for the new item I just added
[06:23] <smavocet> But it worked
[06:23] <smavocet> I hadn't scrolled over far enough
[06:23] <smavocet> well ok
[06:24] <smavocet> I
[06:24] <smavocet> I've done all my verification that I said
[06:24] <smavocet> Hold on a bit more
[06:24] <smavocet> we still have time
[06:25] <jamesokay> Okay. But since we're not going live with this immediately, the crucial thing is really to patch issues with deployment...
[06:25] <jamesokay> and slip in little bug fixes at the last minute
[06:25] <jamesokay> so we don't have to wake up early on Tuesday morning again.
[06:25] <tamsler> nothing wrong with that
[06:26] <jamesokay> So if the app isn't perfect then we can check it over Monday and redeploy Tuesday, worst case.
[06:26] <jamesokay> So long as the rest of the code changes went out okay.
[06:26] <smavocet> OK I'm ready
[06:26] <jamesokay> I can see that the assignment fix is there.
[06:26] <jamesokay> Is there anything else quick we should check?
[06:27] <smavocet> oh the vendor drop but QA verifies that tomorrow
[06:27] <smavocet> did the vendor drop move also
[06:27] <jamesokay> Yes.
[06:27] <smavocet> what about the final grade submission url
[06:27] <jamesokay> Should be there.
[06:27] <smavocet> for My prod
[06:27] <tamsler> looks good
[06:28] <smavocet> Do you update any prperties this time
[06:28] <smavocet> ?
[06:28] <jamesokay> Yes. We added a few properties for gb2.
[06:28] <jamesokay> The help page is one of them.
[06:28] <tamsler> all the properties are listed in the deployment plan
[06:28] <jamesokay> So the fact that that comes up indicates that the properties changes are there.
[06:29] <smavocet> ok
[06:29] <jamesokay> +1?
[06:29] <tamsler> +1
[06:29] <Prabhu> +1
[06:30] <smavocet> +1
[06:30] <Prabhu>
[06:30] <jamesokay> Okay, bringing up the other nodes
[06:33] <smavocet> oh all that text on the help within gb2 is new
[06:33] <smavocet> Steve was to have it there Friday but didn't
[06:33] <smavocet> He must have put it there yesterday
[06:33] <smavocet> QA hasn't seen this
[06:34] <smavocet> Thought Nancy and Vernon were slipping!
[06:34] <smavocet> Well he was to have it there by today anyway
[06:34] <smavocet> all the other nodes up yet
[06:35] <smavocet> yep
[06:36] <jamesokay> Okay, all nodes are up and out of maintenance mode.
[06:36] <jamesokay> Sorry about the last minute excitement...
[06:37] <jamesokay> Thanks everybody for waking up.
[06:37] <smavocet> ok, no problem
[06:37] <Prabhu> Good one James
