TPS Server is installed and iPAQ VPN

Today the TPS Server was installed into the campus network.

Open Issues:

• Meet with CNC about the TPS Server: backups, health monitoring and failure notification.
  
• Setup the testing and development Web Server on the IST Server
• Setup the FTP server on the IST Server
• Test end-to-end connectivity of the following - campus workstations local Web development servers and the IST Server
• Nobody is the IST 440w class offered to help with any of the work.

I installed the iPAQ VPN AnthaSoft software and got it to connect to the campus VPN

Open Issues

• Mobile Browser doesn't open any Web pages - so I am not sure if the VPN is working
• I am still working on building a profile of how the iPhone Cisco VPN works
• TPS has offered to have their networking company provide help
• Nobody in the IST 440w class has offered help or is working on the Mobile device VPN connection issues but me.

Server is ready!

The TPS Server is Ready!

• The TPS Web Server is complete and it has everything running that we need to connect to the Web Services provided
• The Mobile Web Server will be hosted on the PSU IST Server - I have to verify with James McGlade from PSU CNC
• Using the IST Web Server should allow to connect remotely using the VPN
• The backup TPS Server has also been fixed and will be available - it was a fan issue
• All the data on the TPS Server has been cleaned
• The firewall has been installed with open ports to the Web Services for Leads, OnBoard, GuardDog, and Ticketing

Meeting With Mike K.

Review points about the first deliverable document.

• The document had a student prospective not a professional business engagement
• Content needs to be less verbose - say more with less, repetitive sections
• The total amount of pages included could be cut back in half
• Areas that should be re-edited: Risk table and alternative solutions
• The document needs to provide business value to TPS
• Add a glossary of terms section - for example: COTS

Review points about the Blog content

• Vague content in the some of the blogs - just to fill them up with content
• Should detail how they are going to accomplish the task assigned
• What are benefits and value each task brings to the project
• Estimated task deliverable dates

Meeting this week with Mike and Kinjal

• Mike and Kinjal might stop by on Wednesday or Friday
• Everyone should have a name tent prepared with their functional group assignment on it
• Mike will prepare an agenda
• A notetaker will be assigned and meeting minutes will be published by PSA
• Everyone should sit with their functional group 

All Users are now in Basecamp

Everyone in the class is now in Basecamp.

Please make sure you can login and access the IST 440 Project details. 

Bug Tracker - Ready

All the testers and developers are now setup as users in Bug Tracker.

Everyone should test to make sure they can access and login to the server.

I asked Dan H. to make sure everything is working ok - adding bugs, reporting, etc.
