Old business - anything from last sprints to follow up on?

Kristi, Stephanie

  • Anything Stephanie needs to approve in the Done column of Waffl.io?

  • Issues 870 (committee member role types) and 907 (AND/OR logic for combining filters) moved from Inbox to Next in Waffl.io. High priority for next sprint

  • Frank will move 711 to DONE. Has open PR


15min

Overview of remaining development tasks

Review TDL Development schedule for 2019

Discuss TAMU Development Schedule

 

Kristi, TAMU Team

  • TDL Roadmap has Vireo 4 dev from Jan - Feb 2019

  • Migration strategy (Kristi and Courtney will work on the details of migration, including if institutions have to migrate or if TDL will continue to support Vireo 3 and allow institutions to make a choice)

  • Overview of remaining development tasks

    • 41 open issues

    • 870 (committee member role types) and 907

      • James questions use case for 870, given changes to workflow. Could this be accommodated through existing functionality in Vireo 4?

    • Controlled vocabularies with associated email – not sure how those are supposed to work; are these linked to email rules? Not currently, and ability to create 'administrative groups” a la Vireo 3 is not present. Would be expensive to add this requirement in at this point.

      • Email rules Recipient Options: committee chair, student, assignee, non-chair committee members, organization

      • Decision: No development on this at this time, pending feedback from VUG testers.

  • TAMU - 3 week sprint - could do at least one major sprint in Jan-February

  • Chris Starcher - same

  • Probably at least a couple of sprints to complete open issues.

  • Migration strategy

    • Caveat: Vireo 1-3 never intended as a repository, but here we are.

    • James proposal:

      • Compel upgrade to Vireo 3

      • For migration to Vireo 4: Only move submissions and put them at top-level hierarchy. Come over to

        • Don’t migrate users, email rules

        • Could not move to a different hierarchy post migration, but wouldn’t need to. (Hierarchies don’t control much on the admin side.)

    • Questions about above proposal:

      • Would logs come over if we did this? Action logs are in SOLR. Important to bring over. Action logs are an entity in the db so could be migrated.

      • Not migrating users. Would submission assignments get lost? Yes. Would student user still be connected to their in-process submission? No.

    • Decision: need to migrate submissions and users.

      • This would leave out settings, email rules.

      • Will have to be a freeze on new submissions until new Vireo is set up.

      • Need to provide instructions/checklist for which settings to revisit/copy over.

      • Opportunity for user/institution to start fresh with how their Vireo is configured. This is how Baylor looked at their recent ILS migration.

    • Remaining questions: What does the migration tool need to look like?

      • command line tool? something fancy on a web page with a progress bar?

      • should script include command to delete-upon-migration, so that records moved to Vireo 4 would no longer exist in the Vireo 3 instance; would reduce risk of duplication

      • SQL -to-SQL transformation or an XML export/import? SQL if we can muster it.

10min

VUG-SC Testing Plan

  • Texas State local review of the dev docs

  • SC meeting on Nov 29 to divvy up work for end user documentation.

  • Stephanie will reach out to sys admin at Tx State to test deployment docs.

10min

    • shared internal sprint in January/community sprint starting first week of February

10min
