[09:05:25 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Our stats recorder quit recording a few days ago--I haven't found the log message yet
[09:05:51 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm, there was an issue around stats stopping writing to the db a while ago
[09:05:58 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Is there any way to get it to retry without restarting tomcat/uportal?
[09:06:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think it was pinned down to needing to update the quartz library
[09:06:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> If it is the quartz bug, probably not
[09:06:31 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> This was while our instance had been running for a few weeks without any changes
[09:06:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> not seeing any errors in the logs?
[09:07:25 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Not any ongoing errors
[09:07:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> how does memory usage look?
[09:08:30 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> It seems like once it saw the error it quit retrying
[09:09:22 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> It sounds like the original question is somewhat moot-the server is going to need to be restarted anyway-I'll see if the logs start up on reboot
[09:10:25 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> In answer to your memory question-the server needs memory (don't we all -it's on order
[09:10:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just asking because what I believe has been seen before is the quartz job dies for some reason
[09:10:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and stats events just start filling up the queue
[09:11:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since it isn't being flushed
[09:11:28 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> So I can think of many reasons why the stats would quit collecting in our environment (server, database, memory)--the question would be how to restart them/flush the queue without restarting tomcat/uPortal
[09:12:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> take a look at https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-2858
[09:26:51 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> That looks like it could be it. I'm now looking at https://lists.wisc.edu/read/messages?id=8446759#8446759
[09:27:49 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Do you mind if I comment the listserv reference from wisc.edu into UP-2858 so someone can make the connection better (once I make sure I'm doing the right thing)?
[09:28:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds good
[09:28:26 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Thanks. Over and out.
[10:02:40 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> I'm still no maven expert. I changed the dependency to 1.8.4, and expected maven to find that. Do I need to download it manually (I do know how to do that if I need to)? see http://uportal.pastebin.com/82tFD3Kq
[10:03:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think they changed their groupId & artifactId
[10:04:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> looks like the groupId changed to org.quartz-scheduler and the artifactId changed to quartz
[10:04:45 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you'll need to change that in the root pom.xml and in uportal-impl/pom.xml
[10:05:30 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Would there be a standard place I would have found that--maybe in http://grepcode.com/snapshot/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.quartz-scheduler/quartz/1.8.4
[10:06:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I use http://mvnrepository.com/ to find artifacts
[10:06:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or the pom.xml editor in eclipse from the m2eclipse plugin
[10:07:02 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Thanks! I'll work with that.
[10:07:12 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> looks like it is also on the quartz website: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/download/download-catalog.html
[11:03:45 CDT(-0500)] <rickard> Am I correct in that there are only two levels of navigation in uPortal? tabs and tabChannels.
[11:05:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:06:17 CDT(-0500)] <athena> some institutions have done custom work to provide an additional level of tab nesting
[11:06:37 CDT(-0500)] <rickard> Ok, but not out of the box.
[11:06:40 CDT(-0500)] <athena> university of illinois in particular has come up with a strategy that doesn't involve a lot of customization
[11:06:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena> no, not out of the box
[11:08:01 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> I made the changes to to version of quartz in my test system and updated https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-2858?focusedCommentId=22461#action_22461 for 3.2 patches
[11:08:02 CDT(-0500)] <rickard> Question no 2. I'm looking at the theme xml before transformation and there's an attribute for the <tab> called activeTab, but I don't see anything for the tabChannel. I would like to markup the active tabChannel in the menu with a particular CSS class.
[11:16:07 CDT(-0500)] <athena> what are you looking at that specifies a tabChannel? is this the structure XML document?
[11:16:17 CDT(-0500)] <athena> uPortal really only has an active tab
[11:16:51 CDT(-0500)] <athena> in the default theme, when you're looking at a tab, you see on the page whatever number of portlets are on the page
[11:17:17 CDT(-0500)] <athena> unless maybe you're thinking of the situation where you've maximized/focused a particular portlet and aren't looking at the entire tab anymore?
[11:18:01 CDT(-0500)] <rickard> I'm looking at the "raw" XML in uportal.log. Used a tip from mpolizzotti and EricDalquist to enable logging of the XML.
[11:18:19 CDT(-0500)] <rickard> This is the XML that is the base for the XSLT transformation done by the theme.
[11:19:27 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> ok, but from the end user perspective. what do you want to achieve, that you need an activeTabChannel ?
[11:19:49 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> because I agree with athena , such a concept really doesn't exist at the user level of the experience.
[11:20:05 CDT(-0500)] <rickard> I'm creating a theme based on an existing web site design.
