Week 39 2014
In Week 39 we started at MENLO Park on Monday. It was the first time, we actually worked in the Swisscom LAB. We set up further functions and changed the whole design to a more userfriendly carousel design. The plan was, that Swisscom set up the server (sql, racktables etc.) so that we can access to the running system. That didn't work on monday.
On Wednesday
K. Marfurt drove us again up to Menlo Park. There we had another meeting with our pm who showed us how to access to the new server. The database was installed and all settings were set. We have access now to the running system and work 'live'. There were a few configurations we had to do different than on the pilot-server. Ubuntu is new to us three, so we try to get into this new console handling. Some commands are similiar to what we are used to on WIN CMD.
(image: this a capture what is on the server right now. We connected our local software to the server, and are capable to sync all the files we are working on/ the console is not a big deal after some instruction)
Design
Our project manager liked our design and gave us the confirmation to go ahead with it. The servers all have women names and an appropriate picture to it :-). Through Javascript we implemented an eventhandler/listener that makes it more userfriendly to switch between the servers. The whole front end works with AJAX. So the side never reloads anything, it is all done by JS and Jquery.
(image: this is a capture of racktables. All the states of all different stacks and servers are here. So for our final product, we read the data out of this tool. The big deal is, that there is a login page. So we try go authenticate through php or js to access the data.)
