Status and next steps

2017-02-15

Oliver contacted Brightworks to see if they might be engaged with this work:

• Ticket#95300/Physics Testing Center, ensuring robustness in its setup.

Oliver and Nick Taylor <nwt2> created this list following failing TC1 this week.

Physics IT to do:

Nick Taylor (Testing Lab) to do:

Tech-related work (in priority order)

...

• All systems have access to "Backup" folder on each of the other systems (verified that today).
• Consider all important files to copy over regularly, per:
  • Testing Center software relationships
  • Testing Center workflow

• Current version of FM Pro used is v11.

Procedures and such

1. Establish clear procedures for staff to follow if a particular computer or printer is not working.
   1. How much to attempt to fix (answer: very little!). Who to contact (anser: <PhysIT@cornell.edu>). How to do things "by hand", and what to do after system is back up and running.
2. Question Nick was going to discuss with Alan: Is it worth have a weekly "snapshot" on a USB drive in Alan's office, which would be more "off site"? Worth the added risk?

Past "Next steps"

8/27/15

• Completed 7/7/2016, all 2 systems, INC000001709453. Was:
  • To do: Image TC-01 and TC-02 to files. When shall we do this, this semester? Alan had discussed maybe removing grade info before doing this.
• Not completed:
  • To do: Get file synchronization to work. (What I said last time: I think I'm close to getting that to work across all 3 systems, so we'll see if I'm accurate on that count.)

Historical info:

Prior defined "next step", from spring 2015:

• Do this work in early summer 1015. Thus, reconnect in mid-May to coordinate this upgrade, using information on this site.
