  • DNS - in contact with Systems - Debra; Pinged Vamsi Nuthi for an update Wed Dec 13.  Still in progress
  • Mark to contact Lori to get status update
Request from LRbanner referencing EVS Explorer

If NCI Terms Browser down, banner should point people to EVS Explorer.

Currently on Dev

NCI-RITM0497500Planning Discussion with Systems about migrating to Java 17
  • Will invite dev team once mtg in scheduled
  • ecj is Tomcat8 jar and needs updated to work with Java 17. 

SYSTEMS
EVS transition to virtual machines

STATUS: As decided from last week, we will wait to switch STAGE from on prem to VM once PROD server is ready; so we can switch both PROD and STAGE at same time .

  • Will be started this week - Eric Guava is working on configuring the back end
Systems

BACKGROUND: 

Exploring Java 17
 
OBJECTIVE:

Production issues requires database connection update.  Will require database and all applications to be restarted. Looking at today after 3PM. We are requesting a maintenance page.

  • There is a request by CBIIT to do a test run of putting a banner across all applications, including EVS. Would happen within firewall first. 
    • Injection approach
    • Lori and Mark to schedule a time, likely next week, for initial testing
  • Mark to inform with time scheduled for centralized banner testing
  • Contact Us page is being spammed
    • Possibly drop form and provide email to systems for forwarding


ACTION:

Explore Java 17 update on servers. Will Tomcat be impacted? 

  • Put in a request (NCI-RITM0497500) to have a planning discussion with Systems.
    • Currently scheduled for Jan 5. First contact discussion



LEXEVS UPDATES

Monthly Planning and Focus

Completed Sprint - Sprint 214 (Nov 8 - Dec 7)   – LINK TO Jira Burndown

Current Sprint  - Sprint 215 (Dec 8- Jan 2) - LINK TO Jira Spring 215

For the month of December 2023, the Mayo group is planning to:

  • Complete Report Exporter banner


  • Improvements, Refactoring Code Debt, Feature development:
  • Examine feasibility of Java 17
    • BACKGROUND: a small number of LexEVS components (aka dependencies) are being phased off of java 8 (or are no longer being supported on java 8).  We ideally want to use a current version of those components (dependencies). IF the current version of that component is only supported on Java 14 or later (just as an example), then we would have to migrate the ENTIRE LexEVS stack to Java 14 or later. (Note that the current Java version is Java 21 LTS, and the most popular non-LTS version is Java 14). So there is a risk that a vulnerability is found in the older version of the component/dependency and we would have to either migrate everything quickly to a new version, or not use that component (which might not be possible), or shutdown LexEVS entirely. Note that there are certain versions of Java which are "long-term support" versions - meaning that they will be supported for several years beyond non-LTS versions. LTS versions are Java 8,  Java 11, Java 17, and Java 21.
    • OBJECTIVE: find out what would it be like to upgrade from Java 8 LTS to Java 17 LTS.  How hard would it be? How long might it take?
    • LEXEVS-5373 Investigate Upgrade of NCIt Browser to Java 17
  • DataDog

ACTIONS

  •  


Technical Debt remediation

LexEVS Code Debt Refactoring

  • Coding complete on lexevs services - except for isolated dependencies
    • Java 17 work ready for NCit Browser 
  • CTS2 - Working to update Jakarta - linked to Java17
  • Dependabot notice to update jQuery


Report Exporter
  • Banner changes being implemented  - in progress
    • May be moot with centralized approach
  • Working on templating - Need user feedback for phase 2
    • Demo feedback implemented
    • Need to make more dynamic - load values from external source
    • Will need feedback from users to provide template requirements
  • Work with Mark to setup communications with Lori

Feedback form

  • Need to research approval procedure, Mark was asked to reach out to OCPL
  • Andrew supplied copy of survey form from RE
