DISCUSSION
Current work tasks
Vivek – TIER API
Vivek has made a lot of progress and APIs are working on the demo server.
However, the SCIM Server from Penn State requires more work, including TomEE
To run Grouper web services you run TomCat
To run the TIER stuff you must run TomEE
Will discuss on today’s TIER API call at 3pm E
Misagh - gradle
Bert – PSPNG
Chris –working on patches, new WS call for Brown
Alternate names on groups for web services needed patch
This has been handled with a patch
Add, delete and search and unit test for that is done
Existing services not changes, just 3 new operations added
Chris hopes to finish this work soon
Shilen – Patches
Issue with add and delete type at same time cause problem - patch done
control which attributes are displayed for a subject and in which order - patch done
Exception if subject identifier is updated to null - temp fix, need to look into underlying cause.
Failures in findAllChildStems - Partially fixed. Need more work.
GroupUniqueExtensionHook doesn't work when moving a group - patch done.
Misc
· Instrumentation https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+instrumentation
Shilen: this approach to Grouper instrumentation seems reasonable
Jim: better to send numbers rather than categorization of small, medium, large
Chris: agreed, unless reporting numbers will be considered private
Chris: could get domain name from the URL
Jim: Authentication of the data uploaded to TIER would be helpful, using a Cert, or an ID and Password, risk of junk data
Chris: if it’s not automatic, it won’t get done
