July 18 , 2008 ; Thursday

It's a long day today.I started my day at our plant at Laguna,left home at 4:30am and arrived home at past 8pm.

Why I needed to report to our Plant in Laguna?I needed to get my certificate of employment,file my half day leave form,talked with my boss regarding my performance appraisal and supposedly I should get a CPU/PC there to bring to our plant at Sucat.But I failed the PC was already been allocated for our team mate.=(

In the afternoon we re-locate the new servers.From ICS data center to striptest line.This is again for ovenight observation.

July 16 , 2008 ; Wednesday

Our validation last night was failed,the uploading time is still slow,so we willbe having a validation again tonight with some of the improvement change done,such as IP add and truncated DB.

We also had a meeting regarding this issue.

July 15, 2008 ; Tuesday

I am supposedly be in our plant in Laguna this morning but I had a scheduled meeting in the morning.The meeting was about the issues in our server.I also had a data deletion requests.

We tried to connect the new machine(dual strip) for over night observation but we failed.Instead we had the machine we had before for the by off in our first attempt for the migration,for over night observation with monitoring of its uploading time.

I was on OT-Y today ...=(

I was SL last week due to flu and needed to have my cbc & xray.

For this day,I have lots of things to do.Data deletion,troubleshoot my office PC,do my PA report,request for my certificate of employment & some update on migration.

My office PC is not working since I don't know.Cause when I went to work last Thursday (but unfortunately needed to go home again) It doesn't power up.seems like the power suppply ended its life.lolz

Also we tried to migrate the cllients affected by the time out errors/mismapping.Accourding to them it is because our server is getting full (?).But I checked the server and found some "unusual" activities,but my email/report was disregarded.And I am OT-Y today.=(

Then I had processed my salary complaint together with my groupmate who had problem because his Vacation leave has not been updated by our updating officer in our attendance.

We also checked a windows based taester that is experiencing blue screen and hang ups.What we did is check for the viruses and disabled the Anti-Virus,Kaspersky, in the tester's controller.Which is not connected to network,

I also had my Annual Physical Exam today,2nd and last part.

Had my APE today,Annual Physical Examination.But this is only part one.Part two will be next week.

My team mate and I checked a DOS based tester that was reportedly can not boot-up.But the problem was not the PC it was the network connection.we tried to change the PC,using the same port and that problem still persist.We advise the production people that it was a network issue and we told them who is the right person for this problem.

Early in the morning I got request for data retrieval ang deletion by a supervisor.I got 3 lots to retrieve which is composed o more or lessf 80 strips per lot.This lot was deleted by my group which supposedly should not be deleted.According to the supervisor they only requested to delete the mother lot but my groupmate also delete the sublots,which is this 4 lots.Luckily I easily got her .exp file for this file,.exp is the file extension for the back-up/exported strip data.

I got 8 lots to delete. 2 mother lots which 3 sublots each.they are also composed of more or less 80strips each.

I the afternoon,a manager talked to me regarding a new printer and how he wants it to be set-up for production.But I think it uses Black ICe,that according to my oss is a firewall to isolate certain network.But accrding to a LME it really uses the Black ice.

May 03, 2008 ; Saturday

Yup,it's Saturday and we are at work.Still for server migration activity.We didn't stayed last night (May 2, 2008),we go home at 10pm and again I reported at 6am today.First thing I did is to check the HP 84K running in HP-UNIX.Those testers are the last platform we set-up for the new server last night(May 2, 2008)And I was happy to see them in green,on going production.I also did asked the operator for some inputs,it is in production since C-Shift but an HP84K tester experienced some problem,in program loading and acording to her rejection.That tester is also the tester that had a slow boot up last night,it find some difficulty in IPROC that according to my groupmate is a hardware,not for our group.=D

We continue to debbug Vista platform,UNIX based,which according to my groupmate has a special settings.He's master in this one,we coordinated it with ICS man who's now incharge for the test's server and a few minutes before 2pm they did it! and there are only 2 Vistas in our plant.

We also did the Q2 testers,DOS based testers.4 out of 6 are done and according to the maintenance guy the remaining two are defective.=D

Luckily,I was permitted to go home at 2pm since I will be having a long travel.imagine from Sta.Rosa, Laguna to Cavite City...

0500202008

May 02, 2008 ; Friday

We are allowed to go home last night and today we go back at 6am.We are not sure if we will stay untill tommorow.

We continue preparing the testers for production tommorow of A-shift using the new server/s.

Main concern is the mapping of Windows Testers and mounting for DOS and UNIX testers.They should be able to access their home directories for them to be able to load their test programs and save their summaries/datalogs.

For Windows, it is simple mapping.But we encounter problem,they can not map!Maybe it the Samba installed in the new server(samba not the danceSamba is a free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol, ) and the passwords of the users.But we resolved it this afternoon.

Dor Dos,I believe I already stated how it was done in my previous post.

And for UNIX, there are a lot of works to do here.There are diferent platforms with different set up.But the main concern is the tester can access the customer's home directory or upon login in they should be in their home directory.

This C-shift will be the start-up.This would also be a great opportunity for us to prepare/verify if we can go on with the migration.And the maint team will be available they will be the one to power up other testers.And the facilities are doing some changes in the a certain production area and we are affected since they are doing some changes in the drop polls and we do not have sockets for the power supply and ports for network connect.Maybe during start up those will be OK and we can go on with our activity.But we didn't stay,why?According to our boss our director still need to approve the C-shift OT.Which means,it is not sure that we will get paid for that.duh!?

Anyway,Let's just see what will happen tommorow,if this migration will be successful or failed...

May 01, 2008 ; Thursday

For all of us know today is holiday,Labor Day.But instead of being with my family we was required to report today to work,actually upto Sunday,for the server migration.

Just a little background,our production server was almost 10years old and will be replace by a new one.The server will be now own by ICS team (Information and Communication Services).They'll be the one who's responsible for the production server once it was migrated.

Anyway,we are required to be at the plant at A shift (6am-2pm) original plan was the whole team will be there at A-shift,then one of my groupmate and me will be staying until B-shift (2pm-10pm) and another pair to cover C-shift (10pm-6am).But yesterday afternoon the plan was changed,From that 2-shifts schedule to 24hrs straight of works for 3 days.This is,according to our boss,due to time constraits.Then this morning we learned that the other group is not yet done in copying the old server,so we have nothing to do,until they are done.And our boss told us that we might be back to the original plan.And so we did.

Nothing to do until they are done in copying,yeah.But the day won't end with that reason.There are some major issues that are in line with this activity,one of it is the PCNFS testers,they are running in DOS.That's what we did almost the whole day,solving the PCNFS issue.We back-up the system and restore it to another HDD so that we will be safe if we failed.Using the new HDD we try to edit some configuration files such as network.bat , drives.bast and hosts.And we did it!horray!What we need now is for the product engineer to verify the settings,if he can load the program and go on with the testing.

We even try to log in at some UNIX based testers.Some log in are okay but some are not due to their mounting/home directories.

We go home at 10pm and will be back tommorow morning,6am.

A Blogger Confesion...

I admit that I am not that good blogger,I think I already confess that before,I think in my other blog..

I can not update this blog,I was far left behind...my last post for this blog is for my activity last Feb. 04, 2008 two days before my birthday...and today is May 1,2008 so I am almost 3months late...

I actually have others blog/s my personal blog www.jhanok.blogspot.com ; my multiply blog www.jhanok.multiply.com which nowadays has updated posts.I also had two friendster account,my daughter's friendster account,my husband's friendster account (not so often) and my hubby and I's friendster account.Not to mention our myspace accounts and my tagged account.Haay...so many account but one has suffered...

But I would like to make it up to this blog,I would give up those 3months of late post and starting today I will,hopefully, update this blog.Sorry for that 3 months I failed to post/update this,but like what I've said those are given up and I will start again from this day...

Again and again sorry or that.Hope you will still find time to visit this blig site and enjoy reading...

0101402008

January 14, 2008 ; Monday

Today I reported at Laguna Plant.We checked a tester that is encountering hostname conflict problem.There we discovered that they had restored a wrong image back-up.This one is illegal,License issue by Microsoft corp.Since they used the license of the PC that they restored its imaged to another PC.

Also I assess a problem in one of our dedicated customer and a problem in one of our UNIX tester.

0101102008

January 11, 2008 ; Friday

We had to test "real lot" as part of our buy off activity which is also a part of our server migration activities...

January 10, 2008 ; Thursday

We had a buy-off again,this time our vendor's Field Service Engineer (FSE) helped us so 1 tester and 3 markers are now ready for migration.

0100902008

Hi.Since I was way to late in updating this blog,I decided to have a short/very short post in my everyday activities.Sorry for that.But as soon as I finally got this blog be updated,everything will be back to normal.

January 09, 2008 ; Wednesday

We had a buy-off and test result for the server migration activity.But during trying to connect the cell ctoroller to the new server we encountered "Lot Validation Error" .Which was encountered on that time.Even our present admin can not explain it.

We also had our weekly meeting regarding the migration.

0100702008

We had a retest with client again,but still failed.Wonder what went wrong?I just follow the instruction of the FSE...?

0100402008

January 04, 2008 ; Friday


I continue the reconstruction of the software installation procedure.

I also did the inventory of our tester in our plant in Sta. Rosa.

Short post but the activities are really time consuming...

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

0100302008

January 03, 2008 ; Thursday

Today we had a testing with the client.Our vendor's FSE suggested to use one type of platform use only for verification.Which is not risky unlike the othe platforms.This platform,like I said is used for verification,we can try to create strip to check if the client really connects with the new server.While in the other platform there might be a lost of data if the client is not successfully connected to the new server and that is really risky.Anyway,we failed in this one...=(


I reconstruct the System Software Installation Procedure documentation.

0100202008

January 02, 2008 ; Wednesday

That day I continue the system software installation in our new application server,I already started doing it last Dec. 28, 2007 and I just continue it that day.~that day?,it's just because it was a reallly really late post.~

Here's the things we need to do in Server Migration.
1. Change computer name .
2. Join to Domain.
3. System Software Installation.
4. Installing MSMQ.
5. Database Connection.
6. Configuring server/client.
7. Testing.
8. Buy-off.
9. Migration.

That day like what i've said I continue the software installation and do it again in the other server which will serve as the back-up server.We also had the database connection and the configuration of the application.With our Vendor's FSE with us.
