Outstanding TasksTim Whitlock (Deactivated)
  • foghorn_leghorn (Unlicensed) has now completed the NHSBT matching. This work highlighted a number of issues. The main one being that the csv data contained none ascii characters which required filtering. This was mainly in the free text field. This field should be empty and not contain control characters if it has no text. This highlighteed that our datasharing agreements don't specify data format only content. They have an implicit assumption the data will be clean. We should include a format field for permitted characters in the DSA to ensure we don't receive data that requires cleaning before it can be processed. In addition there were in consistent and changing date formats, and NHS No formats both of which should be suppliued in a consistent way. Roger has also refactored the code.
  • George Swinnerton has written up some details on the simplified project file processing for biochemistry. Simplified - Proposed File Processing (Old)
  • George Swinnerton hasn't progressed the Nurture Dashboard.
    Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
    will require the rewriting of the current extract code to use the sqlalchemy models that radar uses instead of custom sql queries to interrogate the radar database. This should ensure the extract code remains in sync with database changes. This code then creates an sqlite database of data that is used by dashboard.nutruebiobank.org to display graphs using metabase.
  • foghorn_leghorn (Unlicensed) still needs to complete the documentation he started o the point where we can review and comment on it before we finalise the procedures.
 Backup Issues

Tim Whitlock (Deactivated) 

 We currently have two issues with the veeam backup.

Healthshare stopped backing up when the it ran out of space but has then failed to complete any backups since. This appears to be because the deltta changes is so great that veeam fails to complete the backup in the time window that has been configured so veeam aborts the backup before it completes. It is expected that if we can increase the initial backup window to allow this first delta to complete it will retun to a more reasonable time with subsequent backups.

dashboard.nurturebiobank.org has been having issues with the backup causing the vm to remain locked after completion and the vmware tools disabled/stopped. This appears to be a driver issue caused by the upgrade to RH 7 leaving some residual RH 6 modules installed which have sudden;y started causing an issue after a yum update. The RH 6 modules have been removed and the vmware tools have been reinstalled. This will hopefully fix the issue.

CtE Retuximab Project (RaDaR)rapolas (Unlicensed)

Retha Steenkamp has said they can see the initial screens at the end of the month. rapolas (Unlicensed) indicated he only really had one screen defined which he has been working on and is more or less done. Fiona Braddon (UKRR) (Unlicensed) will need to define any other screens when she is next in to allow them to be completed.

Retha Steenkamp Indicated that it was important there was a a display showing "real time" counts of patients by unit so that all project members could easily see how many patients have been recruited due to the strict limit of numbers. George Swinnerton raised the issue of what happens if one of the recruited subjects dies before/during the trial - Retha Steenkamp will follow this up.

Validation

foghorn_leghorn (Unlicensed)

foghorn_leghorn (Unlicensed) is working on the latest va;lidation sprint involving two tickets https://jira.renalregistry.nhs.uk/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=3&projectKey=RR one should be fixed and is just awaiting a release after being signed off by Fran. The other one will be worked on in the back ground in April.
