03:03:32 <anu_GSOC> bwolfe: I am working on the ticket 2758.
03:04:12 <anu_GSOC> I have gone through the history of those error classes.
03:05:39 <anu_GSOC> It seems that the issue is resolved in 1.8.x release.
03:07:58 *** yan has joined #openmrs
03:09:38 <yan> hi, everyone! it's my first time on the irc, :) i'm just having a problem about installing the enterprise version of openmrs on tomcat.
03:11:50 <yan> i have deployed the war file. it shows under applications. but when i click on it, it doesn't run the openmrs installation wizard. instead it says unable to start Openmrs. i don't have an openmrs-runtime.properties file. can anyone point me to the right direction here?
03:12:22 <bwolfe> yan, what does the error message say?
03:12:29 <bwolfe> or what is in your tomcat error logs?
03:12:36 <bwolfe> anu_GSOC, ok
03:12:44 <bwolfe> !ticket TRUNK-2758
03:12:45 <OpenMRSBot> bwolfe: [#TRUNK-2758] Automated Error Report: NPE when creating patient without an identifier type - OpenMRS JIRA - https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-2758
03:13:08 <bwolfe> anu_GSOC, did you want to check out the 1.7.x branch and do a quick fix there?
03:13:55 <anu_GSOC> bwolfe: yes
03:14:01 <yan> it says OpenMRS is not able to start. The following error occurred at startup: Error occurred while trying to get the updates needed for the database. Unable to get a connection to the database. Please check your openmrs runtime properties file and make sure you have the correct connection.username and connection.password set.
03:16:06 <yan> but i don't see an openmrs-runtime.properties file anywhere in my tomcat directory. i guess that file gets set after the installation wizard finishes? problem is, the installation wizard doesn't start.
03:19:34 <bwolfe> yan, how did you install openmrs?
03:19:45 <bwolfe> war file in tomcat?
03:20:10 <bwolfe> and which version?
03:20:29 <yan> yes, war file in tomcat. version 1.8.3.
03:22:10 <yan> i had a previous installation, which was version 1.8.2. but then i had to uninstall and reinstall xampp, so i downloaded the latest version when i reinstalled openmrs in tomcat.
03:39:52 *** bwolfe has quit IRC
03:59:23 <yan> i renamed openmrs.war to openmrs_ent.war and it worked! installation wizard got started, and is just about to be finished. thanks, bwolfe.:)

06:11:36 <pulasthi7> hi suranga ,
06:12:15 <suranga> hi pulasthi7
06:12:57 <pulasthi7> I'm interested in doing an openmrs project for GSoC this year.
06:13:12 <pulasthi7> and I found the project idea of "Implementing Novel Features to Improving De-duplication User Experience" interesting.
06:13:27 *** bryq has quit IRC
06:13:49 <pulasthi7> Is there anyone else interested in idea?
06:14:10 <suranga> well there have been several peeople asking about it...
06:14:23 <suranga> every project has its own contenders :-)
06:14:59 *** miss_hap has quit IRC
06:15:38 <suranga> pulasthi7, how far have you progressed ? have you checked it out from svn, or are you still reading up on it ?:)
06:16:45 <pulasthi7> I've checked it out from svn. and I went through it a bit.
06:17:52 <pulasthi7> I also ran it locally to get familiar with its functionalities.
06:18:12 <suranga> pulasthi7, since application period starts by monday, you need to identify a few projects to focus on by that time...
06:18:35 <suranga> otherwise you wont get enough time to write up a good proposal... :)
06:19:35 *** maurya has joined #openmrs
06:21:42 <pulasthi7> thanks for the advice. :) btw I 'm not clear about certain parts of the idea.
06:24:44 *** wyclif has quit IRC
06:25:00 <suranga> can I be of any help pulasthi7 ?
06:25:01 <pulasthi7> for task 3 specified in the idea, is it the matching records that need to be stored in the database?
06:26:04 <suranga> it comes in two parts..
06:26:29 <suranga> firstly, we need to store the strategies that we created
06:26:46 <suranga> then, we need to store the records that we identified by the report
06:27:17 <suranga> for example, if the report identified patient record ids 1,2,3 ad potential duplicates, then we need a way of storing them in the db
06:27:52 <suranga> we must also point out that 1,2,3 are potential duplicates of the same record...
06:28:30 <suranga> however, dont forget that the same report may also identify that record numbers 4,5 are also possible duplicates..
06:30:00 <pulasthi7> that means the reports should be saved along with a reference to possible duplicates and the stratergy.
06:30:35 <suranga> yes, a single report may have one or many strategies...
06:30:54 <suranga> and a single report may contain 0 or many patient groups
06:31:03 <suranga> each patient group is 2 or many patients who may be duplicatezs
06:31:20 <suranga> I hope thats clear.. )
06:32:54 <pulasthi7> yes got it clear :) as i understood from the code the stratergies are already saved in the database. am i correct?
06:35:15 <suranga> yep, thats part is fine (there are a few bugs yet) but we're fixing them
06:35:37 <suranga> you can try out that part...and try to understand how we can use them to store a report
06:38:21 *** maurya has quit IRC
06:40:05 <pulasthi7> ok, I'll try that out. thanks for your help and advice. :)
06:47:36 <suranga> pulasthi7, no worries...
06:48:09 <suranga> pulasthi7, we're happy to answer any questions
06:49:01 <suranga> if you cant find me here, you can use the mailing list
06:49:06 <suranga> I or a more senior Engineer named james Egg will be around to help you out....
06:53:53 <pulasthi7> I'll do so, thanks again :)

13:09:25 <rohitgoyal18> hi. I am interested in OpenMRS and want to apply for it in GSoC. Downloading the Code base. But its already been about 2 days... and its still downloading. What directories shall i download first so that i can start understanding the code base.

16:23:31 <bee0> hi.
16:23:49 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: hi
16:24:35 <bee0> gauravpaliwal: have you used the standalone version of the app?
16:25:30 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: nopes , but is their any issue you are facing ?
16:28:05 <bee0> afraid so. the initial run on the standalone is successful; subsequent run fail with a message to the effect that a database connection is unavailable
16:28:39 <bee0> just going through the answers page to see what the probable cause/s may be
16:32:15 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: is databse running ?
16:32:30 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: are you using windows ? or linux ?
16:32:51 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: try to check are the port on which mysql is running is correct or not
16:33:21 *** snoppy has joined #openmrs
16:33:49 <bee0> windows. in standalone, i believe, the database server is started by the app itself
16:35:41 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: yes
16:35:54 <gauravpaliwal> but if the port is already in use it will not allow it to start
16:36:04 <gauravpaliwal> try changing port
16:37:03 <bee0> understood. but why would the port be in use when there is no mysql process running?
16:37:35 <gauravpaliwal> because their may be any other process already using that port
16:39:53 <bee0> wouldn't that be visible under procexp?
16:40:47 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: no idea abt windows :(
16:43:06 <bee0> no worries (+:
16:46:42 <bee0> gauravpaliwal: Have you ever added custom fields to a Patient?

16:49:04 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: nopes
16:51:14 <bee0> hmm. is it possible to search for all patients against a particular concept/Test?
16:52:17 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: for your previous question here is what I got from mailing list
16:52:25 <gauravpaliwal> Ricky,
16:52:26 <gauravpaliwal> The HTML Form Flowsheet allows you to have tabs that are one-off forms. See it's documentation. (Look for "S:Demographics:15:LAST".) However that module creates it own UI, which is not the patient dashboard. So if you want to add something to the patient dashboard, you need to write a module and attach to that extension point. If you want a custom chart-like UI, consider the HTML Form Flowsheet module. (HTML Form Entry, which HFF is based on, d
16:52:26 <gauravpaliwal> The way to add custom one-off fields to Patient is via Person Attributes. If you're talking about administrative data (e.g. "Enrolled in Sleep Study on dd/mm") consider Programs and Workflows.

16:52:44 <OpenMRSBot> <http://ln-s.net/9sG4> (at openmrs-mailing-list-archives.1560443.n2.nabble.com)
16:53:41 <bee0> about the custom search, do you mean?
16:53:48 <bee0> or for custom fields?
16:55:35 <gauravpaliwal> about custom field
16:55:45 <gauravpaliwal> you need to write a module for that
16:56:16 <gauravpaliwal> although this is available in : https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/PTM-35
16:56:21 <gauravpaliwal> you might like this : https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/PTM-35
16:57:42 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: concept search i think should be possible , though not sure wheather it require some tweek or it is direct
16:58:44 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: although that ticket is for adding custom field to the patient matching not patient dashboard
16:58:59 <gauravpaliwal> for patient dashboard u need to write a moduel
16:59:02 <gauravpaliwal> *module
17:01:41 <bee0> that ... would be interesting (+:
17:02:16 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: that is for adding custom field in patient searching NOT patient dashboard :)
17:03:00 <bee0> yep. but in that case, why does the patient attribute form give an option to make a new field 'searchable'?
17:04:28 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: because you might add it using module
17:04:39 <gauravpaliwal> and in that case their is no need to modify search criteria
17:04:55 <gauravpaliwal> adding filed in patient dashboard using module is way to easy
17:05:39 <gauravpaliwal> though write own searching module ain't
17:05:45 <gauravpaliwal> this may be one of reason
17:07:00 <bee0> this is confusing
17:09:37 <gauravpaliwal> bee0: suranga might put more light on it
17:09:44 <gauravpaliwal> suranga: there ?
