SSP v2.5.1 General Release Announcement

Released July 20, 2014

Release Highlights

  • Significant performance improvements in the MAP tool
  • Added a person directory to allow for searching students in already added in SSP and those only in external data
  • Moved file based configurations to the System Configuration
  • Database performance improvements
  • Validation on each configuration item
  • Priority bugs and stabilization tasks

 

Release Notes

1) During a fix for the Journal track-step-detail administration, a bug was discovered that incorrectly set the object_status on associations that were based in active tracks, steps or details.  A Liquibase script to cleanup Journal step-detail associations that were originally incorrectly set is deployed to correct the associations.  The changes sets any journal_step, journal_step_detail association to an object_status of INACTIVE if either the Journal_Step or the Journal_step_detail is INACTIVE.  The impact would be to potentially that a number of Journal Step Details that are visible currently in the user interface will become invisible.  Although fewer may display, only the correct associations will display.  New associations can be created to replace the incorrect/inactive associations that will no longer display.  

2) The person directory feature requires database integrity that is not enforced by default in the database tables.  For implementations where the ssp-config.properties setting db_liquibase_external_apply_natural_keys = false, duplicate rows in four key tables will cause the application to fail during deployment.  The queries below will help identify duplicates rows in those tables.  Prior to deploying the 2.5.X code, any rows identified in the query results should be fixed.

 

select school_id, COUNT(*) 
from external_person 
group by school_id 
having (COUNT(*) > 1) 
order by COUNT(*) 


select school_id, COUNT(*) 
from external_student_transcript 
group by school_id 
having (COUNT(*) > 1) 
order by COUNT(*) 


select school_id, COUNT(*) 
from external_student_financial_aid 
group by school_id 
having (COUNT(*) > 1) 
order by COUNT(*) 


select school_id, COUNT(*) 
from external_person_planning_status 
group by school_id 
having (COUNT(*) > 1) 
order by COUNT(*)

 

3) For any implementer who deployed 2.5.0, there may be a error on startup while attempting the update to v2.5.1.  In the ssp.log the process to create the index on mv_directory person may fail with an error similar to the error described below.  If you encounter this error, execute the sql statements described below.

 

Error

Caused By: Error executing SQL ALTER TABLE [dbo].[mv_directory_person] ADD CONSTRAINT [pk_id_materialized] PRIMARY KEY ([id]): The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement terminated because a duplicate key was found for the object name 'dbo.mv_directory_person' and the index name 'pk_id_materialized'.

SQL to Retart the Object Creation

Both Databases
- drop table mv_directory_person

SQL Server
- delete from databasechangelog where filename = 'org/jasig/ssp/database/changesets/000130.xml' and id = 'update for new installs directory_person view'
- delete from databasechangelog where filename = 'org/jasig/ssp/database/changesets/000130.xml' and id = 'create mv directory_person view and pop msql'
PostgreSQL
- delete from databasechangelog where filename = 'org/jasig/ssp/database/changesets/000130.xml' and id = 'create mv directory_person view and pop postgresql'

 

4) A change noted in the external data definitions for v2.5.X may affect the initial deployment.  A change was made to external_student_transcript_course.grade to make the column non-nullable.  As the database changes are made during deployment, the application will fail if any of the rows contains a null grade.  To correct the problem update the rows to ensure grade is not null and restart the application.  Some implementers do not generally record grades for current and future terms.  Those implementers that don't commonly use 'IP' for the current term and 'RG' for future terms.  Any grade can be used as long as it's not null.

5) SSP -2035 moved configuration items from a javascript file, Configuration.js, to the config database table.  This will allow SSP administrators to make all functional configuration changes in the user interface.  The changes are noted in the Configuration Guide, and the entire guide should be reviewed for new configuration items.  Upon deployment, the following configuration items should be made in the user interface to retain configurations previously made in Configuration.js.
