Scott:

MySQL 5.5 update, Caching problem on CTS2 service, ARC Meeting tasks, Monthly Status, Sorting Algorithm investigation.

• Evaluated caching of value sets in the CTS2 service.
  
  • Determined this is happening once resolved value sets are updated - but the cache is not acting correctly.
  • Kevin indicated that the service should be restarted once the resolved value set are updated. 
  • Captured in Jira and will need to prioritize.   We could update the code to poll for updates. 
  • When value sets are updated, they are assigned a version number.   Each time a resolved value set is updated, a new version number is assigned. The caching code does not work correctly.  This caching code is part of the CTS2 LexEVS service code. 
  • Currently, the services at NCI are being restarted - so these issues aren't being surfaced on NCI services.  
  • Short term, we can restart the service on updates.  (communicated to Mayo by NCI)  
• MySQL Upgrade
  
  • Local set up on Windows machine.
  • JUnits need a bit different timing, but most are passing.
  • One Junit needed change due to DAO layer.  (need to consider 5.1 compatibility)
  • Not moving 5.1 or 6.0 to new environment. **
  • Roughly 14 more issues to resolve. 
• Sort Algorithms
  
  • Tracy requested a list of sorts (codes, rankings, etc).
  • TODO:  Scott to look at the default sort algorithm.
• ARC Meeting
  
  • Discussed what was needed for data loads.
• Monthly Status Report
  • submitted on May 9
