Adding Underlings
I finished all the changes related to switching fields between par and paruser, except for the xhtml templates. I held off on them because Greg is still working hem. I redid the employee table (now renamed underling), wrote the Hibernate configuration files, and started writing the needed Java code.

More Updates
More work n the PAR, changing code to match the database changes. I've fixed all the errors in the Java code and revised the queries that populate the initial page.

Updating Code
I updated all the code that references par and paruser so that it looks for all the attributes that used to be on paruser on the par instead, with one exception, the computation of lineSupervisor.
I also ran benchmark tests for Mike Wiggs on ZWiki on production.

More Problems
In the morning I took the script I had reworked over the holiday and tested it. I found two problems and fixed them. When I tried to install the alternate mail addresses in ldap, it barfed. It seems like it choked on some duplicate values already there. I tried straightening that out, but gave up and moved onto the par.
I concentrated on fixing the errors in searchLdap. I convinced myself that I had made a mistake moving the usertype into the par table, so I moved it back to paruser and fixed everything that needed fixing for this move.

Back to Par
I tried resolving the PAR problems, had some luck, but ran into new problems. I gave up and will work on it over the weekend. I went back to modifying the PAR source code, moving the method calls from Paruser into Par and revising the other code accordingly. There were some tricky parts I couldn't solve. They will have to wait until next week.

More ldap woes
I tried to update doright with the changes from the new version of my script. I ran into problems and tried to fix them. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Hibernating
I created the employee table, which will hold the employees under each user and revised the Hibernate mapping files. I also responded to some questions by Otto and made a change to the aliases script.

Modifying Par Database
I imported the production database into my development version, wrote the sql commands to modify the par and paruser tables in order to move time dependent data into the par, and applied then to the development database. Everything seems to have worked fine.

Setting Things Up
I started setting up a local copy of the par database. I changed the root password and created an empty par database. I asked for a dump of the production database so I could test. I had more permission problems with stopping and starting my local database. Those seem to be resolved. While waiting for the dump, I reviewed the code I had written several weeks ago to populate the new underlings table. It seems correct but I need to add code to write the results to the database. Actually, I also have to create the database table, hibernate mapping files, and so on.
Otto has been testing the email alias changes for ldap and had a question about the smmsp entry. I investigated and it turns out it wasn't what he expected because that entry redirects to rocky. I may have to rethink my code.

Finishing Up
I finished up adding the aliases back to doright's ldap. There were some permission issues and I had to add two aci's for sysadmins. So I handed it off to Otto for more testing. I started on the par again, but ran into a problem connecting to the database. Still haven't figured that one out. Greg had a problem with the redirect code for the par, I helped him debug it. I revised the Wisetrack report for Joy Hale and answered a question about an absent ldap entry.
