http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi The work log of Bernie Simon en http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/301064952000.html <p> I spent yesterday and today working on the problem we are having with corrupted metadata. I've written a method called showbogus to detect the problem. The problem seems to be isolated rather than spread throughout the site. I still have to think about the proper way to fix the problem. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/261064606400.html <p> Mark Calvin pointed out some problems with the LDAP to Palm download, so I made some trial changes to see if they fixed the problem. Sandy finished testing the LDAP to Outlook download and sent me some suggestions, such as clearer instructions on installing the Palm to Outlook bridge. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/251064520000.html <p> I got the end user editor into CVS, wrote up a test plan, and cleared up some old calls that I had neglected. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/241064433600.html <p> I moved the end user editor changes to gojira and tested them to make sure they worked. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/231064347200.html <p> Today I worked on getting the backlog of moves in the Zope test queue cleared out. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/221064260800.html <p> Today I finished work on the science staff popup script. I converted the code to use a tiny table and cleaned up some of the problems with the script. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/191064001600.html <p> I've got the ldap method mostly working. I still have to sort out the target attribute and opening/closing the popup window. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/181063915200.html <p> I started writing the new method to retrieve a single record from ldap, which I'm calling ldapsearch. I put it in /stsci/institute/sd/ldapsearch. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/171063828800.html <p> I think I figured out why Michele couldn't get any results from her catalog search and wrote an explanation for her. I wrote a new Perl procedure to dump the email address and division for each person in ldap so that we can check things. Various other small ldap cleanup tasks were done. I looked at several reported problems of metadata corruption, but they all seem to have mysteriously worked themselves out. </p> http://www-int.stsci.edu/~bsimon/weblog.cgi/post/161063742400.html <p> In the morning I helped Greg with a problem Remedy has in displaying long call logs. It turned out to be a problem with the sql truncating the call log. In the afternoon I worked Michele's problem with displaying help procedures. I made some progress, but don't have a solution yet. </p>
