Does anyone know of a module for Activecollab 3.1 + that can allow entering of time for sub tasks, and also one that can do (TPS) reporting, per milestone/task/subtask and users, etc ?
We are not aware of a module that provides time tracking on subtask level. That feature was removed in activeCollab 3 (to simplify the system and clearly communicate what the main unit of work is). Please, track time on task level and provide any additional information as record summary.

I'd like to assigne a task to a whole team of users, instead of a single user. Then anybody of that team should be able to execute the task. I do run the self hosted version of activecollab.
For example:
My team has 10 members, and therefore a capacity of 10* 8h/day = 80h
I'm assigning 100h of work/tasks to that team --> 80h stay for the day, 20h get pushed to the next day
Any member of that team can grab a task, track time and finally finish it.
Is that something which can be done right now via the api?
If not, is sth. like that on the roadmap?
ActiveCollab does not support task assignment to a team, only to an individual user. API can't be used to work around assignment of a single task to a single user. What you can do is implement a routine that will create a copy of a task for each team member and assign it to a member, but that can easily clutter your projects.
Thanks for the quick response.
Then I'm continuing with my workaround:
I'm getting the workload from all users and store them in a seperate table.
When I distribute the tasks, I look this table up, and see who is available for that activity, and finally assigne that task to that user.
Under /workload the users can still reassign and reschedule, I'll run the sync from 1. from time to time
E/thing else can be also done via the frontend
I am trying to implement a real-time app with FeathersJS and Feathers-Vuex.
A simple example - A todo app where users can add goals, add tasks to goals, and an effort (1-5) to each task. I want to find out the total effort needed for the goal. Anytime the effort of a task changes (CRUD), the effort of the goal gets updated.
So something like -
Goal: G1 (11/15)
Tasks: T1 (4/5), T2 (2/3), T3 (5/5)
How do I calculate this and keep it in sync in FeathersJS + FeathersVuex?
What I've tried so far -
FastJoin to populate this data to each goal record but it wasn't reactive - Not sure how to "listen" to changes to "Tasks"
Hooks and storing stats in the database - It worked for a while but started getting out of hands (when the more services were involved in calculations) and I ended up with too much coupling.
Loading everything in Vuex and calculating it on the front-end - Worked well for prototyping but doesn't work for actual cases where there would be too many records to be able to pre-load everything.
A custom Service - "GoalStats" which calculates the relevant stats by aggregating things from multiple services [Read that it is the recommended way for this]
What I can't seem to figure out is - how to keep things reactive when data is computed/aggregated across services. (Eg. Adding a new task in the above example changes the goal priority)
Still relatively new to FeathersJS and FeathersVuex - so not really sure what I am missing here.
Update
Here is what I have settled on for now - Use hooks from all the dependent services to trigger an empty PATCH request on the Custom Service (if needed). In FeathersVuex, I have added the service and it gets updated.
So, in context of the example above, I am using the before and after hooks of Tasks service to check if Effort value is being changed, or if the task is being added/removed. If so, I dispatch a PATCH request which calls the GET behind the scenes in my custom service, and recalculates the stats which then follows the existing events flow.
Not sure if there is a better way to go about this and/or if there are best practices around managing these cross-service "triggers"
Hi guys I am constructing a task distribution management system for my team in which I want to add a functionality that:
When I create a task, I will have an option to choose "how long is this task valid for being taken". For example, when creating the task I put "2 hours" in the
<input id="valid-for">
, then this task will only be displayed on the dashboard for 2 hours from the time it was created and then after 2 hours -> "display: none".
I've searched the web for the mechanism of achieving this feature but I didn't get a satisfied answer probably because I don't know the right terminology to google. I tried to use AJAX and use TIME_STAMP type attribute in MySQL but didn't know how to proceed. Could anybody tell me how to achieve this feature by the use of MySQL, jQuery or any other technics that could fulfill this feature? No code necessary I just need some explanation.
Thanks guys!
Without knowing any more details, here is how I would consider writing the code:
In the database, have a start time and a use-by time.
In your browser page, you can run a script periodically, say every minute (this is called polling). In this case, you can use Ajax to call back to the server for updates.
At the server end, check for new tasks as well as expired tasks. Then send the results back to the Ajax caller.
Back at the browser, update the dashboard accordingly.
I would be inclined to remove the task on the browser rather than simply hide it.
I am using IBM webSphere MQ 7.5 server as queue manager for my applications.
Already I am receiving data through single queue.
On the other hand there are 3 applications that want to process data.
I have 3 solutions to duplicate/distribute data between them.
Use broker to duplicate 1 to 3 queue - I don't have broker so it is not accessible for me.
Write an application to get from queue and put them in other 3 queues on same machine
Define publish/subscribe definitions to publish input queue to 3 queues on same machine.
I want to know which methods (2 & 3) is preferred and have higher performance and acceptable operational management effort.
Based on the description I would say that going PubSub would achieve the goal; try to thinking in pure PubSub terms rather than thinking about the queues. i.e. You have an application that publishes to a topic with then 3 applications each having their own subscription to get copies of the message.
You then have the flexibility to define durable/nondurable subscriptons for example.
For option # 2, there are (at least) 2 solutions available:
There is an open source application called MMX (Message Multiplexer). It will do exactly what you describe. The only issue is that you will need to manage the application. i.e. If you stop the queue manager then the application will need to be manually restarted.
There is a commercial solution called MQ Message Replication. It is an API Exit that runs within the queue manager and does exactly what you want. Note: There is nothing external to manage as it runs within the queue manager.
I think there is another solution, with MQ only, to define a Namelist which will mirror queue1 to queue2 and queue3
Should be defined like: Source, Destination, QueueManager.
Hope it is useful.

While performing loadtests on WSO2 BPS 3.2.0 we`ve ran onto the problem.
Let me tell you more about out project and our actions.
Our BPS process is designed to manage some interactions with 3 systems. Basically it is "spread" on two parts - first one to CREATE INSTANCE in one of systems, then waiting a bit, and then SELECT OFFER in instance context.
In real life it looks like: user wants to get a product, the application asks system for an offers and then the user selects offer from available ones.
IN BPS the first part is a straight-forward process, the second part is spread on two flows - one to refresh information with a new offers, and another is to wait if the user chooses one of them.
Our aim is to stand about 1000-1500 simulatious threads on the load-test. An external systems are simulated by mockups executed by LoadUI.
We can achieve our goal if we disable "Process-Level Monitoring Events" in deployment descriptor (set it to "none") of our process. Everything goes well and smooth for hours.
But if we enable this feature (and we need to), everything falls with an error very soon (on about 100-200 run):
[2015-07-28 17:47:02,573] ERROR {org.wso2.carbon.bpel.core.ode.integration.BPELProcessProxy} - Error processing response for MEX null
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.wso2.carbon.bpel.core.ode.integration.BPELProcessProxy.onResponse(BPELProcessProxy.java:402)
at org.wso2.carbon.bpel.core.ode.integration.BPELProcessProxy.onAxisServiceInvoke(BPELProcessProxy.java:187)
at
[....Et cetera....]
After the first appearance of this error another one type appears - other threads just fall after the timeout.
It seems that database is ok (by the way, it is MySQL 5.6.25). The dashboard shows no extreme levels of input or output.
So I think the BPS itself makes a bottleneck. We have gave it 8gb heap and its conf options are set for extreme amounts of threads (if it possible negative values are set and if not - just ridiculously big like 100000).
Anyone has ever faced this problem? Appreciate any help very much.
Solved in BPS 3.5.0 version, refer to release-notes
