Today the PMC approved dropping the
following Monitoring Tools features from the 4.2 plan due to schedule pressure
and focus on quality for the release:
78319
Provide wizard on Substitution Rule creation
96433
API to programmatically modify GLA adapter configuration
114818
[Usability] The Import Log function is too complex
126253
Exploit new GLA configuration update API in ParserWrapper
The consumers of these features accepted
this list but since the cut was 46% of the i2 Monitoring Tools feature
work, they requested that that the following list of features be swapped
into the 4.2 plan:
130905
Import/Export Log sets configurations
130907
Add user selection check box in File->Import dgb
130908
Support editing of log file locations from the File->Import-Log
file dgB
The sizings for these features totalled
5.3 PW and represents 12% of the remaining Monitoring Tools 4.2 features.
Net reduction in the remaining Monitoring
Tools 4.2 feature work would be 34%
The request also included the addition
of the following features to the Platform project
130903
Highlighter support - use filter builder to support it
130904
Support AND/OR expresssions in the Log view and File->Import ->Log
files filters
All of these new features are enhancements
to improve the usability of Log And Trace Analyzer.
An Architecture Group review of these
5 new features (130903, 130904, 130905, 130907, 130908) will be scheduled
for Friday. Please reply to the mailing list if you would like to
attend and I will send you the meeting information. Note, some preliminary
review of these features has already taken place so if there is no further
interest in reviewing them the review on Friday will close quickly.
