Karen

This week:

Pushing out a change to the stored procs on CAP-ROCFTP01 and 02, in HQData database, which updates the ‘Target’ field for newly created servers. This process will stop working once CRM to NetSuite transition is complete. Question for Julia: Is there a plan in place to update the HQData source, to pull from Netsuite directly, with the server data, ., vs. CRM?

Reviewing the Fortified Data Tier Assessment and working on implementing recommendations.

Documenting field mappings for the API and Geckoboard projects. Checking to see whether the fields have been created in Sandbox and populated with data. Working with Stacey to get the fields populated.

Documenting AS IS, for Traffic database - jobs, services, timing.

Starting this week, have signed up for ongoing online AWS tech talks, for ongoing learning, from selecting the right database, to Elastic Beanstalk.

Annual Sales Meeting in June … plans to show off Boostr

Just did SOW to make a working prototype by the June date. Ensuring that IT will not be the bottleneck (currently on time and under budget)

CRM integration (test / dry run on the weekend).

  • Julia: not enough data for a good test

  • Charlie’s log can be shared

  • needed more servers for an adequate test
