[04:51]    <smavocet>    Hi Thomas
[04:52]    <tamsler>    good morning
[04:52]    <smavocet>    looks like I made it
[04:52]    <tamsler>    (smile)
[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 (smile)
[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 (smile)
[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 (smile)
[05:13]    <smavocet>    (smile)
[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 (smile)
[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 (smile)
[06:25]    <jamesokay>    so we don't have to wake up early on Tuesday morning again.
[06:25]    <tamsler>    nothing wrong with that (smile)
[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>    (smile)
[06:30]    <jamesokay>    Okay, bringing up the other nodes (smile)
[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
[06:37]    <smavocet>    I'll send email and change motd
[06:38]    <jamesokay>    Thanks.
[06:38]    <smavocet>    we have a few jiras to create
[06:38]    <follower>    NP, up any way. With two small kids can only get things done between 2: and 6:am
[06:38]    <smavocet>    I'll save our script here so we remember
[06:38]    <jamesokay>    (smile)
[06:38]    <Prabhu>    (smile)
[06:38]    <jamesokay>    Harry woke us today at 4:20am
[06:38]    <Prabhu>    see you all tomorrow
