At first, it was a bit difficult using the tool – before we worked with an excel-file – but now it became a second nature. If I can fix my bugs on time, it will be a complete victory.

This is my list that has to be finished by tonight:

Looks possible, doesn’t it?

That’s Murphy’s law, and that is exactly what is happing at our project.

Last week we were suffering from a very slow development environment. Checking out projects in Siebel Tools took 30 – 35 minutes instead of the normal 1 – 2 minutes. Even after moving the database to a new machine where we used only 3 of the 32 processors and we had 21GB ram left, it remained extremely slow.

After some investigation, it turned out that is was a configuration issue. It seemed that every query comming from a programm with SIEB in its name, was checked to see if it was allowed to run. This was causing the slowliness. After changin that check, all went fine.

Untill I received a phonecall this evening. It was my colleague saying that I didn’t need to bother comming in at 6 o’clock as I normally do, because the entire development database was down and the DBA’s come in at 7h30. So let’s hope it’s not a severe issue and we can continue bugfixing very soo.
