irmis-devel Mailing List for IRMIS

Hi all,

 

It's that time of the month:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=226514&package_id
=274120

 

On the DB just two small fixes, the first on the lattice constraints on
the second to allow iocs without a connected component. Of note, we got
tired of waiting from Mac to support 1.6 through the java plugin, so we
have another option to start applications through web start, which is
automatically done on a Mac. We also now have a preliminary
implementation to access the PV data.

 

>From now on the full change log will be created by Trac, and is
available at:

http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/irmis/query?status=closed&group=compone
nt&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&col
=component&col=version&milestone=3.0.6

 

I am still gathering requirements for next month, but it looks like a
significant amount of time will be spent in improving the GUI tools and
creating a few missing ones.

Hi all,

 

Thanks to Ralph's suggestion I started looking into Trac, and thanks to
SourceForge it took me something like 5 minutes to have it installed.
Which is at least 3 orders of magnitude less than what I thought I would
need! So, here it is:

http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/irmis/

 

This allows us to better keep track of all outstanding issues and to
document what is being planned/done for each release.

http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/irmis/roadmap?show=all

 

You can login with your normal SourceForge username and password. And on
the other plus side, both NetBeans and Eclipse have plugin to access
Trac. I will be moving all the old information there too, just for the
sake of completeness.

 

Since Trac has a wiki too, I'll probably move what little we have in the
SourceForge Wiki and move it into Trac.

Hi all,

 

Yesterday we concluded the codeathon: plenty of design discussions and
some amount of code has been written. Participants where 

Debby Quock (ANL), Eric Berryman (National Superconducting Cyclotron
Lab), Gubao Shen, Don Dohan, Bob Dalesio and Gabriele Carcassi (BNL).

 

Among the highlight:

* Using WebStart to support GUIs on Macs

* Import/export lattice information in Tracy-3 format

* Fixed a couple of problems in the UI (including a concurrency bug that
caused applications to fail with large datasets)

* Couple of improvements in the Java API (finByFieldName for components
and saving the XML of a transaction)

 

We had a number of planning/design discussions, especially to coordinate
future developments at ANL and at NSCL. NSCL has already built a couple
of inventory tools on top of IRMIS3. Given that both Debby and Eric are
interested in PHP support, we are going to investigate how to take some
of the work done at NSCL and turn it into a PHP library bundled in the
IRMIS3 distribution. There is also interest in supporting "snapshots":
more work will need to understand how it can be achieved. We also need
some kind of "issue tracker" to manage the todo list, I will look into
it.

 

Next week I'll prepare a new release which will also contain the work
done this week.

 

Gabriele

Thanks, Gabriele!

 

Welcome back,

 

Debby

Sorry of the late reply. I'm back! ;-)

 

Remember that you can always see the latest deployment of the service at:

https://irmis-dev.bnl.gov/IRMISDataService/

So you can always get the latest version of the documentation from there.

Debby:

You might get slow response - Gabriele is in Italy - 2 week vacation this
week and next.  When I go in to work tomorrow, I will try to locate the
manuals for you.

Hi Gabriele, 
 
I don't mean to slow you down, but could you please send me the two new
manuals as attachments to an email so that I do not have to install the new
IRMIS package?
 
Thanks,
 
Debby

Subject: [Irmis-devel] IRMIS 3.0.5-alpha released

Hi all,
 
Release a little bit earlier this month:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=226514
<https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=226514&package_id=27
4120> &package_id=274120
 
On the DB side there is only a minor change on the lattice section, and this
time the upgrade script is _really_ provided (seems they weren't bundled
last time). Of note, we added a preliminary support for writing lattice
information on both service and Java API, while we started to add some read
support for PVs at just the service level. No changes in the GUI tools. I
have also written two manuals, one for development on top of the Data
Service (for those who want to consume the XML) and one for development on
top of the Java API. Once you install the new package, you'll see them
together with the rest of the documentation at /IRMISDataService.
 
Full change log at:
http://irmis.sourceforge.net/history.html
 
Next month we'll have the codathon, so hopefully we'll make some good
progress then. I'll keep working mainly on the lattice and PV service and
API implementation.
 
Gabriele
