Helium Development Roadmap & Progress

Helium _ Architecture Forum _ March 2022.pdf

Discussion Topics

Helium Dev

• Related to Helium 1.x Tableau embedding
  • Error rendering macro 'jira' : null

IoT

• Localisation of Jasper reports by injecting Java into Jasper Reports
  • https://mezzaninewiki.atlassian.net/wiki/x/e5l3
• Troublesome (very slow) deployments due to scripts that create materialised views
  • Proposal to not drop views as part of deployment
  • Proposal to create materialised view with no data during deployment
  • Clarification on when Helium does schema upgrades: Any upgrade that changes the internal hash representing the data model and sql scripts

SVS

• Feature request: 
  Error rendering macro 'jira' : null

eLABS

• Issue where front-end seemingly times out before the configured time (as configured for the Helium process monitor). Back-end process keeps running. Issue is intermittent, and does not seem to correlate with load on the Platform.
  • Suggestion was to create a Jira ticket to be treated as a Support Request / Fault.
    • Error rendering macro 'jira' : null

CF+

• Suggestion for an additional discussion on
  • the data export service (for CSV exports) and
  • potentially implementing CSV uploads for Helium 2 based product

DevOps & Rest of Operations

• Suggestion to all teams to consider using CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY when creating indexes (to avoid table level locks).
• Mention of front-end components / framework being developed as part of the MFW 2 development effort.
• Operational challenges related to eLabs enrolments.
