Report for May 2021

Report Date
May 2021
Achievements in Last Period
  • Development sprints continue based on priorities set by User Team, Sponsor and Key Stakeholders. 

  • Works continuing against the following key tasks:

    • Business As Usual (BAU) / Bug fix tasks:

    • Oracle Gen1 to Gen2 Migration:  The Oracle migration of live data from the Gen1 to Gen2 storage buckets has been completed.  However during clean up it was discovered that the data had been copied to the wrong tenancy (location) works are underway (1/2 completed) to complete this.  There is no impact to Users and all live deposits are now being stored correctly.

    • Oracle Gen1 Cleanup - Completed.

    • Metadata / PURE Interface Works: 

      • Works were delayed due to having to readdress the location of the Oracle Gen2 storage. 

      • A show and tell of the PURE interface was conducted with the Service Owner and Senior User.

      • Works have began to split up the necessary work packages.

  • First technical refactoring evaluation workshop completed.

  • The design document continues to be updated where required.

Summary of current status of the issue:

  • All DataVault (DV) staff remain working remotely.
  • Resource Lost Summary (to chaos churn / dealing with issues in the present caused due to COVID-19) - Nursery's and schools have gone back,  as a result Resource loss (across the Team) is now re-estimated back to normal.  This will continue to be monitored on an ongoing basis, Project utilisation is now believed to be 95%.

Impact:  Medium

5 05-Oct-2020 Issue Storage Manager Certificate Issue David Fergusson 27-May-2021 view

Summary of current status of the issue:

The issue is preventing a feature of the datavault service (adding public keys) from working. A workaround is temporarily in place with messaging.

Jira - "RSS212-161 Analysis for options for adding key to Storage manager issue" -  is being utilised to record findings against / look to resolve this issue.

  • (09-Feb-2021):  A number of issues, notably with power outage at the ACF and Resourcing, have meant that Aaron has been busy supporting other key BAU systems / activities and has not been able to progress this issue.
  • No further progress was made during May due to other priorities (Oracle migration & within RSS Systems Team).

Impact:  Medium

 

Risks:

None

 

Next Steps

  • Address any BAU priority bugs (if they arise).

  • Oracle Migration:

    • Complete the live archive data move into the correct tenancy, working in conjunction with the Oracle Technical Team.

    • Arrange a workshop with Oracle reference Oracle Gen2 On-boarding.

  • Continue task breakdown and development against the Metadata / PURE Interface works.

  • Complete a second technical workshops to analyse / estimate the refactoring DV IV code / infrastructure. 

  • Development is underway against:

    • RSS212-154 - Oracle Data Migration.

    • RSS212-152 - Review Oracle Gen 2 Documentation.

    • RSS212-147 - Connect the Vault Page to the DB and Save User Progress.

    • RSS212-161 - Analysis for options for adding key to Storage manager issue - completed, but held open for documentation / developer support.
