[AI] (TomZ) will review the Grouper LDAP Loader doc and provide feedback to Chris, possibly with lessons learned from LDAPPC work. https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+-+Loader+LDAP [AI] (Rob) will follow up with Danno on obtaining the server for the Continuous Integration Environment. [AI] (Everyone) review Rob's chapters and give him feedback on the Grouper Users List. DISCUSSION On TomZ's action item to put test data in the Grouper demo to show using an LDAP source: - TomZ has solved the issue of dummy names for the test data - but the test data is not on the Internet2 server yet - couldn't find a good browser-based LDAP reader - Q: should we let people connect with their own client? - A: could be an extra step - TomZ needs to focus on PSP, so this is on hold for now- we will eventually come back to this and perhaps scale the test down in size PSP Progress and Grouper 2.1 Issues - we need next week to continue testing - Lynn did the calc command on a 26K member group - tried to start a Grouper session in another window. Performance of Grouper Shell was slow- but it worked better on subsequent tests - Lynn will do more testing- so that the PSP will log its cache hit and miss ratios - perhaps a benchmark case to run to see the performance issues would be helpful - JimmyV asked about turning the machines - Do we have tuning / performance optimization advice? - park that for now- trying to have Grouper 2.10 (which is essentially the release candidate) ready in Feb. Other issues for Grouper 2.1: - Chris needs to change the UI so it's possible to specify in the lite UI what subjects look like - Chris will work on web services for the attribute framework and permissions if there is time Code freeze is 22 - Feb- 2012 Release steps - Chris: we need to commit the new subject Jar - TomZ: there is another null pointer exception bug fix… issue of No UID - Jim will help with that - Chris will check the steps in the MISC section - TomB will discuss with Rachana the security review procedures - Database testing will be done as usual - Chris will work on change log - Quickstart has been deprecated in favor of Grouper Installer - Emily has already updated the wiki doc, changing references to Quickstart to refer to the Grouper Installer. - Emily will double-check that this is done everywhere. (Release Steps page needs updating in this regard) - JUnit tests will be done as usual - WS Samples and Java Docs - Chris will handle - Packaging and Releasing has some changes related to PSP - [AI] TomZ will add the new steps relating to PSP to the release steps page Archiving the wiki doc for older Releases - Do we have an acceptable habit about how to version the wiki doc? - what about for cases where people need doc of older versions ? - we don't have SVN managing the wiki pages for us - don't try to force an SVN-like framework The best practice is to keep a PDF snapshot of older wiki doc at: - Last archived doc is for Grouper 1.4.2 Everything under Grouper Guides section of the Grouper wiki should be archived Atlassian Interface Issue Atlassian puled the interface we used for groups and users. They confirmed there is no other java interface to use. However Atlassian says it's possible to edit the SQL tables [AI] (Chris) will update the Grouper-Users list about developments impacting the Grouper Atlassian connector and also update the wiki page: Log File Rotation Issue - Chris report an issue where the log file configuration history was set to 1 - After 1 meg of logs it would delete - Chris suggests setting that default to a larger number than 1 -TomZ supports a different approach, which is rolling log files per day, and changing the filenames to match the date - This approach means no size limit for a particular day - JimF likes the rolling log files per day approach - Shilen liked the way Chris suggested, increasing the default - Lynn says PSU is set to do rolling log files per day. - Decision is to go with the rolling log files per day approach Next Call: Wed. 29-Feb-2012 at noon ET Emily Eisbruch, Technology Transfer Analyst Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4996 | mobile +1-734-730-5749 Visit our website: www.internet2.edu Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/internet2 Become a Fan on Facebook: www.internet2.edu/facebook |
