  • What did you accomplish this past week?

Published FINERACT-722 PR.

Added integration test case for JLG top-up loan to verify that the correct member’s previous loan was closed when the top-up loan was disbursed.

Moved forward with FINERACT-723 (about issues with non-IST time zones, because the tenant’s time zone sometimes isn’t considered when creating/calculating dates/times).

Wrote a Bash script (maybe not the best approach, but it was quick, it worked, and I think saved me time in the long run because I re-ran it a few times) to grep recursively for a list of 60 different MySQL date/time functions. I then compiled this list of files where these MySQL date/time functions were found into a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is 1400 lines long. And each file likely has multiple MySQL date/time function calls.

But there are probably some false positives, because “Date()” is both a MySQL function, and a constructor for the Java Date type. Additionally, many occurrences are .sql migration files, so I don’t know if these are considered problematic by themselves - or if migrations using MySQL date/time functions is just a byproduct of how the given row was originally inserted into its table.

After checking all these files, I need to figure how to translate MySQL date/time functions to use Java date/time in DateUtils. I think this also involves extending DateUtils functionality a bit.

So, I am working my way through this spreadsheet file-by-file to rule out false positives, and to considering solutions using non-SQL date/time functions. 

  • What will you do this upcoming week?

Continue working through these files and translating MySQL fate/time functions to use the DateUtils class instead, so that dates/times are used in a tenant sensitive way.

  • What obstacles are impeding your progress?

Other than the recursive grep for MySQL date/time functions, how else should I look tenant insensitive handling of date/time? Should I also grep for all occurrences of “new Date()” and “new LocalDate()” or something along those lines?

Are these .sql migration files using date/time SQL functions handling date/time insensitively by themselves, or are they only a byproduct of how the row was originally inserted?

What is the purpose of the "joda-time" external library? I see some date/time logic handled there, some handled in MySQL functions, some handled with DateUtils, and some handled with Java Date types only. I need to understand the different purpose of this library compared to DateUtils class.

  • Would you like help from some mentor for this task?
