    • Get friendly error message if needed

  • Changelog performance meeting

    • There was a call on this with Michael G and Keith and Chris recently

    • Looked at times the Changelog processor takes

    • Decided to batch as much as possible

    • MichaelG will do some testing

    • There are various approaches, will try smaller steps first

  • Generating Javadoc (discussion with chad)

“GitHub repositories that served content through RawGit within the last month will continue to be served until at least October of 2019. URLs for other repositories are no longer being served.

If you're currently using RawGit, please stop using it as soon as you can.”

  • Menu refresh from Chad

    • Chad has not heard back on the issues

    • This feature does work at Penn

  • Visualization suggestions

    • Chris emailed about visualization suggestions   

    • AI chris add jira about visualization suggestions and look at Michael’s jiras 

    • Prefer to keep legend out of the image

    • Have it as a popup

  • Duo paging fixed (but sort of still broken)

    • Can miss records, Chris opened ticket w DUO on this

    • Suggested solution is Subtract  one from the index each time, it’s inconvenient

  • GRP-2080: cleanLogs needs index on assigned type? Leave for when we do DDL for Grouper 2.5

  • USDU for subject properties refresh? Have subject daemon to handle this? Or handle w subject refresh cache.

  • Quartz scheduling and trigger. Vivek solved this

  • Chad: GSH script with args (explain)

    • Converted script jython to GSH

    • Swallows arguments after

    • Solution from Matt: use run Args , pass string to GSH, environment variables

    • Document this on GSH wiki?

    • Would be good to pass arguments re script name

    • Groovy shell issue or GSH issue on passing arguments and parsing, quits when it should not around IF commands. Throwing an error conditionally works properly.

    • [AI Chad] create JIRA around passing arguments to script or initializing in JVM and taking a command line variable

  • AI  Chris  make JIRA] Loader jobs with failsafe per job

  • AI   Chris  make JIRA] Performance of privs on loaders

  • Grouper report is slow


Current work tasks  and next tasks

 

Vivek – Reporting

https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/AoDKC

  • Q: Why is it that stems and groups both can generate reports?

  • A: Report will relate to the stem or group its on, but some reports are project wide

  • Now for 1st pass, there is ability for SQL

  • But in future we could do something more friendly.

  • Eg Memberships of anyone in this folder.

  • Could have misc reports

  • Now to add or edit a report you must be a group admin

  • For view permissions, there are options based on how the report is created.

  • Blank means only Grouper admins

  • Is there Implied relation to the report permissions for the group it’s related to ?

  • Need to clarify the plan around these access  controls for reports

  • Plan now is for grouper admins or for a certain group

  • Can’t attest a priv list, but can attest a group

  • How to get to a report if you don’t have permission for the report?

  • Could use a link in an email

  • Issue: is there a check on access to the  reports?

  • Must be in the group ID

  • It’s not like link sharing in google docs

  • Vivek is continuing work on the reporting features

  • No blockers

  • Two storage options: local file system and S3.

  • Files being stored locally now. Will need to configure path to S3 storage

  • Loader and Daemon  definitions. Daemon will run the report jobs

  • Comments: the reporting features are coming along well. Look forward to implementation

  • Need a more friendly name for reports?

  • Loader job has system name and UUID

  • For report: Need name of Grouper stem and the ID of the attribute assignment

  • Could translate for the screen? Do a lookup

  • AI Vivek For reporting, Vivek will add enhancement around lookup and friendly name to the wiki

  • AI Vivek  - check update the JAR file and be sure Active MQ still functions and report back to Chris
