[16:22:24 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> The external data conversations are getting complicated over email. There are several factors involved now. How about a hangout?
[16:23:10 CDT(-0500)] <js70> sounds good.
[16:24:40 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> and i see unicon mail servers are quarantining some ssp-dev messages. how helpful
[17:23:25 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> opened a unicon support ticket for the mail issue… for all of those who are just dying to get the next batch of ssp-dev mail
[17:25:32 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> JS and Dan- I noticed one other thing with the external_student_transcript table while updating the definitions. the gpa is the only nullable column in the table. that seems completely backwards to me. Reluctantly, I suggest that we also fix it with 1.2 because we are now displaying gpa
[17:26:07 CDT(-0500)] <js70> k
[17:26:20 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> the description (which comes from the legacy spreadsheet) says that SSP will calculate the gpa if provided. that appears to be the original functionality for the system.
[17:27:13 CDT(-0500)] <js70> we are agreed thats not a good idea going forward?
[17:27:34 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> it's the opposite of how we agreed to handle gpa's on the hangout
[17:27:34 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> think of it as an enhancement by removal
[17:27:57 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> hahaha
[17:28:06 CDT(-0500)] <js70> :^)
[17:28:11 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> yes, you can no longer shoot yourself in the foot, but you'll thank us for it
[17:28:25 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> I'll go ahead an create a ticket to remove an enhancement
[17:35:58 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> that's the kind of project management every project would benefit from!
[17:49:37 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> do we want to change the EA roster drop-down functionality in 2.0 then?
[17:49:49 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> making the columns non-nullable, etc
[17:51:29 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> https://issues.jasig.org/browse/SSP-733 was intended as a sort of umbrella for that
[17:52:01 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> think there ended up just being some wholesale implementation of the 1.2 schema changes in one big shot tho
[17:53:41 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> so does the UI enforcement, aka app failing to start, live in a point release of a major/dot release?
