081002 -
081003 - Got all of the files uploaded to the new NT server, then found that
081004 - none of the links work, because I forgot to change the IP address in
081005 - the conversion provessor.
081006 -
081007 - Took about 9 hours for the work, ref SDS 0 3677, plus approximately 4
081008 - hours over the past week working with JPS to determine what they had
081009 - done, and what needed to be done to fix it.

081403 -
081404 - Follow up ref SDS 15 6235, ref SDS 14 1255.
081405 -
081406 - As a result of JPS failing to transfer our records, and having deleted
081407 - them from the server Barberra, and having failed to make a backup, and
081408 - because JPS Technical Manager failed to call as scheduled, ref SDS 15
081409 - 2305, I will begin to assemble records for uploading again.

081904 -
081905 - Left to play tennis.  When I returned at 1830, only about 100 records
081906 - had transferred.  The system hung.
081907 -
081908 - Deleted the records from the list that were transferred and started
081909 - transfer again.
081910 -
081911 - It did another 50 or so records and hung again.
081912 -
081913 - This continued, until about 2000 when there were about 200 records
081914 - left in this initial upload.
081915 -
081916 - Continued to try to upload files, but JPS would fail after 5 - 10
081917 - records.  On some occassions, it failed after 3 records and on some on
081918 - the first file.  Had to restart the Ws_ftp program each time.  On some
081919 - occassions, I disconnected from the networked and dialed in again.
081920 -
081921 -
0820 -
0821 -
0822 - 2251 called JPS
0823 -
082301 - Called to see if there is a problem with the NT server.  Reported this
082302 - in the record at, ref SDS 15 2395,

0825 -
0826 - 2329 assembled 2nd batch
0827 -
082701 - This contains SDS marketing, other projects and jobs, except I did not
082702 - include the Oakland Harbor project because I want to edit those
082703 - records to apply the updated linking methods, so they can be easily
082704 - used to illustrate application of Communication Metrics and business
082705 - intelligence.
082706 -
082707 - This group of records used the update option rather than the full
082708 - assembly, since it will have a lot of duplication between subjects.
082709 -
082710 - It has 1932 files and 18MB.

0830 - 0311 completed upload
0831 -
083101 - This is the second transmission.
083102 -
083103 - It ran continuously for about 3 hours.  So, it took 6 hours to upload
083104 - about 10 MB and 3 hours to upload 18 MB.
083105 -
083106 -
083107 - Uploaded documents and correspondence.
083108 -
083109 - Testing showed I made a mistake in failing to enter the new IP
083110 - address in the Web page conversion processor, 070405.  None of the
083111 - links in the records work, so I have to fix 070405 and then create
083112 - the data base again.
