MissionControl Release 3.0 -- Bug

A glitch with the Project Manager (the summary page would not load) has been fixed.

Welcome to MissionControl Release 3.0

The main changes you will notice are:

• There's a new home page--a simple list of the main pages replaces a tabbed page,
• There's a SiteMap of all available pages (accessible from the Navigators page),
• The pages from which you print your AVI Reports now ONLY list the report codes of the reports to which you have access--currently many codes are listed, but are inactive, and
• New group reports are avialable and their usage is logged in the same way as personal and relational reports.

Intermittent Outage

Since 2 pm AEST the ISP who host our website have been having major issues with all the websites they host. Please contact me if this is causing you grief.

In the meantime, I am working to get the parallel site in the UK up and running ASAP. If you have an urgent need to access MissionControl, please contact me and I'll provide you with the link to the UK site.

Thanks,  Paul

MissionColtrol Release 3.0

MissionControl 3.0 is undergoing a final round of testing & will replace the current release of MissionControl in a few days. On the surface, the new MissionControl may not look all that different, however, the software which drives it has undergone a major re-write. The objectives behind the re-write were:

• to increase reliability,
• to make it easier to support and maintain,
• to increase the number of administrative functions that can be devolved,
• to improve the navigation--i.e. simpler to find one's way around, and
• to make it simpler to add new functionality.

The main changes you will notice are:

• A new home page--a simple list of the main pages, rather than a tabbed page,
• A SiteMap of all available pages (accessible from the Navigators page), and
• The pages from which you print your AVI Reports now ONLY list the report codes of the reports to which you have access--currently many codes are listed, but are inactive.

MissionControl Release 3.0

It won't be too long now before the new version of MissionControl is released. It may not look too different to users, but it's very different on the inside. A lot of work has been done to make the site more easily maintainable & to get ready for devolving much more of the activities associated with maintenance to others.

Planned Outage

Planned Outage:

A patch rollout has been scheduled for the database servers which support the AVI, MissionControl, & the Minessence Group's website commencing on 27 & 28 July 2009 @ 00:00 AEST.

Please allow a 1hr window for patching to complete. During this time the AVI, MissionControl, & the Minessence Group's website may be unavailable.The latest Microsoft critical, security and recommended patches will be installed in this roll-out.

Mirror Site:

Work is progressing well on the establishment of a mirror site in the UK to parallel the one in Australia. When this work is finished there will no longer be a need to interrupt service for maintenance activities.

Quality Assurance:

If you find any typos or other issues with AVI Reports, please loga a job at MissionControl's Project Manager.
