LabVIEW Upgrade |
As stated above LazerKatjie was not converted because the Keyance laser and controller only operate under 32-bit Windows. According to NI engineers they made a decision to discontinue support for 32-bit operating systems for the NI Package Manage. This creates an anomalous situation where NI produces a 32-bit version of LV-2021, but you cannot install it on a 32-bit instance of Windows. |
IMS Upgrade | After all of the instrument hosts were upgraded to LabVIEW 2021 and all LabVIEW software was tested on those computers we upgraded all instances of IMS to IMS 12.0. This includes the following:
After each instrument track was upgraded to IMS 12 a technician performed a thorough check using the "Does My Instrument Really Work?" checklist (Logger Checklists: Does My Instrument Really Work?) Finally, after all instrument tracks were upgraded to IMS 12 technicians conducted a kick-the-tires-light-the-fires style acceptance test by running multiple sections through each track, uploading all data with MUT, then verifying that data displayed in LORE and LIVE. |
Tomcat Server Upgrade | Upgraded all Tomcat instances to SUSE-curated Tomcat 9 to correspond to shore. Upgrades completed on the following servers:
Servers were upgraded one at a time; after each server upgrade developers performed tests by exercising LORE, LIVE, SampleMaster, LIME, etc. to ensure that all servers were configured properly. Coinciding with the Tomcat upgrades the tasweb account was removed on all servers. Going forward all developers will have individual accounts for deploying services and applications on Tomcat servers and managing folders used by web services (e.g., liveimages, tempzip, etc.). |
IRIS | Produced two new web services to record and report data from IRIS system. This is the system we are writing to replace the aging RigWatch system. |
