Week 4 (May 25 – May 29)

The hardest part of this application seems to be the transition from one phase to another. We have most of the design done for each individual component but aren’t sure about the best way to move from one step to the other. We have decided that the application should save all information given to it, that all the freight move objects, eval objects, and KPI result data will be saved to the TPS database. We also have performance requirement that states that the application should complete in under 15 minutes. We don’t know how reasonable this is yet but that is the current goal. Coding for the application finally started later this week. We aren’t sure about the current deadline of June and I believe it will be moved to July. The other co-op and I ran into a problem earlier this week with our ssis package. Apparently our queries for getting all the data were way more expensive then we anticipated, and the additional load of us repeatedly testing the package almost took down an important production server. Thankfully this didn’t happen and we fixed the problem. My team lead did say that if a programmer doesn’t come close to doing that at some point they aren’t working hard enough, but I believe that was just to make me feel better. The other co-op and I have now begun working on reading the csv files and building freight move objects
