Last week we delved deeper into the subject of granulation at level 2, and ended up with some questions that need further investigation. This week we’ll discuss how an ACES App payload should be stored. We’ll be meeting at the usual time — 9:00am US Central. Click on the Teams Link to join us!

Technical Call Agenda 2022-06-02
It’s time to pick back up after Auto Care Connect week, home and hopefully rested. Tomorrow, June 2nd, our technical calls resume at 9am US Central. If you haven’t attended before, we conduct these using Microsoft Teams. Some of us have our video going and some just prefer audio; either is fine. This time we’re… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-06-02
Resuming Technical Calls 2022-06-02
The Auto Care Connect conferences last week were intensely fulfilling. The real-time data workshop that I, Luke Smith, and Jason Papillion conducted was well received, and though we consciously did not make it about Sandpiper at its core, a number of passionate individuals came forward afterwards to learn more. While I’d love to leap ahead… Continue reading Resuming Technical Calls 2022-06-02
No Technical Call 2022-05-05 or 2022-05-12
With ACPN bearing down on us, I’m going to be unable to make tomorrow’s call. And next week we’ll be no better off in our day jobs. For that reason, let’s hold off until after ACPN to have a new technical call, which I’ll post up here once we’re all safely back in our respective… Continue reading No Technical Call 2022-05-05 or 2022-05-12
Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-28
This week will be a working session, particularly revisiting the topic of granulating data with a non-UUID method like part number. Last week we confirmed that this is an important method because some organizations will need to do part-based data updates to slot into existing integration processes. This part number granulation is going to cross… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-28
Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-21
This week we’ll talk about the challenges of granulating ACES at the part level to safely handle part branding, a similar challenge facing PIES data. Also, I’ve been working on a formalized strategy specification and will run through that before we get into the deepest of the weeds elsewhere. Come join us at our usual… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-21
Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-13
This week’s meeting might be a bit short, as I haven’t had a lot of time to devote to Sandpiper. However, I do have a few nascent ideas about granulating ACES that I’ll sketch out, and answer any questions that may have come up in your work too. Come join us at our usual time… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-13
No Technical Call 2022-04-07
Just a quick note to say that we will not be holding our technical call this week; I’m on the road and won’t have access to a quiet environment with a stable internet connection. We’ll resume as usual next week!
Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-31 (or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the grain)
Over the last week I’ve been tossing around some of the granulation scenarios we’ve discussed, and I’ve had a shift of perspective. We have for many months considered Level 2 slices in relation to a main full file slice, onto which they were windows. But now I believe that was a mistake; the Level 2… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-31 (or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the grain)
Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-24
This week we’re going to have a working session where we begin to formally define the basic ACES granulation strategy. We had some good feedback from Aaron at Opticat, who suggested a few interesting possible avenues to explore, so if he’s game I’d love to go further into that. One way or another, we’ll close… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-24
