############### LAST STATE OF THIS 2020-05-15 12:56:44:
|
|
Had gone over cases and triaged them, not super fleshed out yet how it works behind the scenes but basically
|
|
same as v7, object save triggers notification check which puts items into and takes them out of notify event table
|
|
recurring job processes them
|
|
Ideally would like to see event of interest check with cached data but need to consider how many different things would be in that, could be huge
|
|
since I will be adding so many new notification types and they are more complex.
|
|
|
|
client end is a list type form also each object can notify directly on demand and all users have default notification subscription
|
|
|
|
No longer templating but rather using short single text string with link back to open instead and optionally send report / attachment or whatever
|
|
also no delivery days or hours fuckery anymore, all deliveries happen all the time as appropriate to the event deliver date. If user wants that they can configure
|
|
their device email notification settings, not our concern anymore.

BACKEND TODO / SYSTEM FOR RAVEN
|
|
|
|
CREATING NOTIFICATIONS
|
|
OBJECTS Saving an object triggers notification processing for that object:
|
|
- in v7 biz object just submits any possible notification and later it's checked to see if anyone subscribes
|
|
would be better to short circuit that at the biz object to stop if no events of interest
|
|
- type and id is submitted to eventofinterest checker (possibly also tags I think)
|
|
AyaType, ID, eventlist,objectbefore,objectafter
|
|
eventofinterest db table contains each type and event id
|
|
some types are generic and apply to all corebiz for example
|
|
i.e. tags used on an object or added
|
|
but a workorder object would be best suited to check if a workorder is interesting event?
|
|
monolithic class for all notifications goes through a giant switch?
|
|
- HASH to prevent dupes
|
|
hash all the relevant bits of a notification that make it unique then check the db table to see if that hash exists already, this is a fast way to prevent dupes
|
|
should notify if this happens a lot maybe?
|
|
Post delivery maybe keep a hash of the event notified on so it doesn't re-notify the exact same thing repeatedly after it was already sent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TABLES
|
|
v7
|
|
aNotifyEventOfInterest - subscribercount, ayatype, eventtype, "guidvalue" (extra info),created/creator/updated/updater
|
|
v8
|
|
similar but with hash maybe for faster checking? and no created/modifed stuff, guid value would maybe be some other thing to accomodate RAVEN as it seems to deal with id of specific or maybe things like status
|
|
|
|
v7 this is the main table where events are stored and delivered from (saved message is for quick notification)
|
|
anotifyevent - ayatype, objectid, eventtype, appliestouserid (single subscriber event), aEventDate, ASAVEDMESSAGE
|
|
|
|
v7 all subscriptions - used to process deliveries (checks for generic event to see who subscribes to it)
|
|
anotifysubscription - ayatype, eventtype, userid, guidvalue
|
|
|
|
|
|
v7 - logs deliveries, removes any older than 7 days (that's short!?)
|
|
aNotifyDeliveryLog (aRootObjectType, aRootObjectID, aEventType,aGuidValue, aDeliveryDate, aToUserID, aDeliveryMethod, aDelivered, aErrorMessage, aToClientID )
|
|
|
|
QUESTIONS ABOUT v7 / improvements
|
|
Why the anotifyeventofinterest table?
|
|
The subscription table already contains all that info, seems like an extra step plus it has to keep a tally of subscribers which seems prone to issues

Not for certain but in the hopper to think about:
|
|
On demand ad-hoc notification case 3466 for specific object only
|
|
not sure how to handle that, but it's a very intruiging idea, maybe it's a v.next one though?
|
|
or maybe the tags thing will handle this?

SCRATCHPAD IDEAS

|
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
|
|
OVERVIEW
|
|
General
|
|
thinking of reforming it, making all notifications very short since user can go to directly view data online anyway now, why have an overly time consuming system to format and shit
|
|
i.e. no notification more than an SMS (160 characters but will accept more and split them up to 1600) tweet in length (280 characters)
|
|
|
|
In cases where user wants to send an attachment / report / wiki that's another thing entirely but the message is still super short
|
|
|
|
All notifications can be optionally filtered IN or OUT via tags on notification related object. I.E. a workorder status change can be ignored or only see if it's tagged "region-new-york" etc
|
|
|
|
All users can receive general notifications which come from both the system itself and from other users using the new ad-hoc send notification from any form
|
|
|
|
UI
|
|
Subscribe from the object itself's menu rather than centralized subscription setup (new)
|
|
Admin can still subscribe users on their behalf (new)
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM
|

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
EVENT_OF_INTEREST_CLASS
|
|
|
|
Internal workings:
|
|
|
|
Should cache the event of interest for quick saving processing and save db getting hammered every time an object is saved
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One enum list of NotificationType for any possible notification that can be processed
|
|
Notify type is divided by actual type and then by actual delivery method
|
|
No delivery schedule anymore, let user decide how to handle at their device end, not our concern, just deliver immediately always
|
|
Notify BEfore shoudl support multiple time frames, not just one
|
|
Users not involved should not be notified, have choice on that`
|
|
e.g. if a user is not booked on a workorder and is just a lowly tech they don't care about other workorder status changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
Types of notifications sitting in delivery queue:
|
|
Deliver if something not changed before date "DEADMAN SWITCH"
|
|
upon change that negates it from source object it removes the event as no longer required
|
|
Deliver immediately regardless
|
|
easy peasy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DELIVERY TYPES
|
|
Email
|
|
UI
|
|
(previusly was ayanova memo, but, that's toast now, removing it)
|
|
DELIVERY FORMAT
|
|
Custom templates for each notification set up centrally?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hypothetical sequence of operations for designing raven notification and tie into jobs and processor
|
|
|
|
WidgetStatusChange notification
|
|
- OnChange event triggered in [WIDGETBIZ] with before and after state of widget in question (immediately after save or delete or whatever is of interest)
|
|
- OnChange processor See if any users are subscribed to this event [CENTRAL_NOTIFICATION_CLASS THIS MUST BE SUPER EFFICIENT AS IT WILL BE HAMMERED]
|
|
(events of interest / core central event bus handler of some kind??)
|
|
- CENTRAL_NOTIFICATION_CLASS event of interest should cache in memory events of interest and trigger cache invalidation by [EVENT_OF_INTEREST_CLASS] subscription change
|
|
- If no then bail out early
|
|
- If yes then compares the before and after state of the widget and the given list of events of interest and processes notifications in turn
|
|
- Create a notification event in a table of pending notification events [CENTRAL_NOTIFICATION_CLASS]
|
|
- See v7 schema for ideas
|
|
|
|
Deliver notifications
|
|
- Job triggers and HandleJob is called on [CENTRAL_NOTIFICATION_CLASS] which in turn checks if any events ready to Deliver
|
|
- Hands off NOTIFY_EVENT to deliver one at a time to a [NOTIFICATION_DELIVERY_CLASS] which in turn calls each [NOTIFICATION_DELIVERY_DELIVERY_TYPE-SMPT/POPUP/WHATEVER]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maintenance
|
|
- [CoreJobNotificationSweeper class] maintains the notifications tables see generator spec for thoughts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- What is "Slack"?
|
|
- should we tie into it for notifications? |
