WEEKLY STATUS REPORT

ACTIVITIES:
This past week we have been planning the database. We have been working together with the Ensemble group in Miami, Seychelles and Elias, to come up with an acceptable database design. I have been creating several ER-Diagrams mapping out the database. After showing them to Allison, Seychelles, and Elias some revisions were made. I think we have the database plan finalized. We have started setting up the database, and are also extending the webpage functionality. The history page has had its functionality extended with some JSP. We are looking into uploading files next.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Database planning: Complete

 
ISSUES/PROBLEMS:

• We tried to access the VPN from UdG and we were blocked. So we have requested that the necessary network permissions be set-up.
• There were some issues with our access via the WRF user Eric set-up for us. Apparently Seychelles and Elias are having the same issue. We keep getting messages stating we are performing illegal actions and are being reported.
• Allison stumbled upon another list of namelist variables. The problem with that is, it does not match up with the current list we are going on. We need to verify the exact list of variable names since these are not only going to be fields in a database but fields coded into the portal page itself.

 

PLANS:
Short Term:

• Work on resolving issues with keys on the database.
• Implement some other portions of the database, including constraints.
• Uploading a file.
• Linking the input fields to the databasse

Long term:

• Enable user to set variable values
• Save changes to variables to database
