Mayo/Jason | We have run into multiple issues where the performance on the DEV tier has be a problem due to Mayo not being able to replicate the slow points due to the drastic difference in DEV resources. We discuss this with the systems team and they requested us to put in a DRT ticket that provides the specs to match the Mayo DEV server. | 08/30/13 | The server resources have been expanded with an addition vCPU and an additional 2GB memory. Initial tests have shown better performance but the testing is ongoing. |
Progress

LexEVS 6.1 | We test plan has been approved to move to the stage tier. Once the build gets to Stage we will ask caDSR to do some testing against there tools. |
LexEVS 6.0 and 5.1 | The 6.0 and 5.1 patches have been deployed to Prod. There is an issue where alternative names for MedDRA are able to gain access because of an issue with the properties file that instruct lexevs to check the security token. We reviewed the properties file and appears to be a formatting issue of a return character. The file is correct on the QA tier so we are just going to ask for the systems team to copy over the file to Stage and if it works then to prod. For future deployments we will request the properties files be copied over from tier to tier along with the deployment. |
Term Browser 2.3 Release | The 2.3 release has been deployed to the stage tier. We are waiting for the deployment of LexEVS 6.1 to do the final testing before proceeding to Prod. Early testing against 6.0 show's significant performance improvements with the stage tier hardware. We have reviewed and prioritized the backlog of trackers from Gforge. The PM is drafting the scope document this week. |
Meta Download Validation App | Waiting for the final decision on whether to use the EVS or CBIIT interface. A meeting was held and the discussion items are being put together and are supposed to be distributed. Still waiting for the final decision. Development is on hold until then. QA team also said they will be sending out the performance test results to the group. |
Term Suggestion Form | The 2.4 release has been deployed to QA after a minor issue with AntHillPro. |
NCIm Browser | Completed draft scope document and project plan for 2.4 release of Metathesaurus browser. We need to look at possible implementations for 508 compliance and performance of the tree hierarchy. |

GF#32816 | Migrate to LexEVS API 6.1. | 6/28/2013 | 1 Developer | We are still reviewing the new deployment of LexEVS 6.1 on DEV. This date is dependent on the value sets issues describe previously. | ||
Moving up Development Time | 7/17/2013 | We are pushing to get the coding done for a July 17th review by the EVS users. This will give the users a chance to provide input on the implementation before we completely freeze the code. | ||||
Pushing back the start of the user evaluation | 7/22/2013 | Having an issue with the exact match search. Working with mayo to get it resolved but need it fixed before user can review. | ||||
Delay starting QA testing for Term Browser and NCIm Browser | 7/13/2013 | We had to delay the start of the QA testing since a fully functioning API has not been established on the QA tier. | ||||
Delays with the final release candidate of LexEVS 6.1 API on QA | 9/6/2013 | The LexEVS 6.1 release has been extended to mid to late October. Sense the browsers are dependent on the API we will need to extend the release date to late October/early November. | Deployment by 9/30 is at risk | |||
Delays with LexEVS 6.1 API due to deployment setup/AppScan | 11/8/2013 | There has been issues with getting all the components of LexEVS 6.1 setup on the DEV tiers. We have also received vulnerabilities from the AppScan on the QA tier that were not found on the DEV tier. These vulnerabilities require software patches to both the infrastructure and browser software requiring a new tag. | ||||
Government Shutdown and Contract delays | 10/21/2013 | The deployment schedule has been delayed by 3 weeks due to the government shutdown and subsequent delays to the contract start up. |

6/19/13 | 9/30/13 | Term Browser 2.3 and LexEVS 6.1 are in parallel development with the Term Browser having a dependency on LexEVS release. Both have a hard deployment date of 9/30/2013. Anticipating some QA resource limitations with both schedules being in parallel. | M | Jason | Monitoring both schedules and will provide status to QA to make sure resources are available. | |||
Issues
# | Opened Date | Description | Impact | Assigned | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
7/17/2013 | Removal of JAVA 1.6 from desktops. The Term Browser deployments using AntHillPro require JAVA 1.6. Putting in a request for a waiver until we can upgrade. | This would affect the deployments and production environment for the EVS tools. It sounds like this is going to be a future issue but we should have time to upgrade before it is part of the CBIIT tech stack. | Provided a level of effort for migrating all of the EVS applications to Java 1.7 to the Technical Project Manager and government sponsor. | ||
7/31/2013 | We currently have an issue where the browsers are ready to move to the QA tier for testing but due to the dependency of LexEVS 6.1 cannot start the QA testing process. LexEVS 6.1 does not currently have all the pre-QA qualification to proceed with the deployment to the QA tier. | With a hard deadline of Sept. 30 for both the browsers and LexEVS API 6.1 there is concern that there will be time to finish all the testing and deployments on time. | Received approval to proceed to QA tier with LexEVS 6.1. | ||
