FunkLoad/Automation Scripts (jbonacci)

• Nothing new to report - automation on hold pending new hire start date.

Sync Server (jbonacci)

• Focus this week and next is to work with OPs on whatever deployment requests are approved for Stage and Production (see the list below).
• QA found an issue "blocking" server-full. Did debug with Tarek yesterday:
  • Bug 695232 - server-full: make build is not pinning prod channel correctly
• Tracking fix to following bug found in QA env:
  • Bug 686753 - All Services builds appear to be broken
• QA needs some input from Tarek to hook QA Sync Server environment to Dev AP
  • This is the last step in getting the QA env fully hooked up for test development, automation, etc.

TPS (jgriffin)

• Nothing new to report

Deployment Requests

In approximate order of complexity:

• server-node-assignment rpm-1.6-1 : contains the fix for order-by precision.

• account-portal 2.8

• server-reg 0.6-1

• server-core branch 2.6.3-1

• server-storage 1.10-1: this is a high-risk deployment

Product

Sync

Beyond

• Improving Sync Set Up
• Push to Device - UX Review today
