Ruleset Management

Error on creation of ruleset (#124289)

Problem

• The support user is created before the ruleset creation completes on account and the ruleset created is consumed on the job profiler service.
• This causes the ruleset creation process to fail.
  
• The ruleset-created email is sent even when the ruleset fails to create

 

Solution

• Remove all the event consumers RulesetCreated
  
• Move work done by the consumers to a gRPC endpoint per service
  
• Create a new event CreateRulesetEvent with consumer CreateRulesetEventConsumer that is published after the ruleset has been created on the account service
  
• The new consumer calls each service to use gRPC to create the ruleset on the service
  
• Only once all the services have been created in the system and support users have been created
  
• As a final step, the notification is sent that the ruleset has been created
  
• The consumer has been constructed for retry only running the request that has not been completed again

      • Name - Textbox
      • Powershell Script- Text Area
        • The text area is pre-populated with a PowerShell script for import from Signify's APIs. This script servers as the base to be customised from
      • Import Enabled- Toggle
    • When the user saves the page the script is run without staging the data
      • When the PowerShell script can run through and return data in the format to be stagged the script is valid
      • Otherwise through an error
  • When the manual processing button is clicked then the Powershell script will run and stage
    • When more than one Powershell script is added then all the data will be stagged and processed as a single import only keeping the latest record per user should a user be returned in multiple Powershell scripts
  • Each provider's connectors will be processed together and will not include other providers
    • This means Payspace connectors will be grouped and Powershell connectors will be grouped and processed as a batch separately.

• • The handler retrieves all the PowerShell connectors for active rulesets
  • All the connectors for a specific ruleset must be processed as a batch
    • The users from multiple connectors will be stagged and imported as a single import
    • Should a user be returned by multiple connectors only the latest user according to appointment data should be imported
  • Log all steps in the handler as an import occurring and display the status on Notifications| Imports

• • Consider the implementation of custom run space when running the import

• • Reuse the current payroll connector job to also process PowerShell connectors

PM V9 Action plan copy from previous does not work as expected (#124270)

Problem
4 Action plan-related fixes on this PR.

1. This label was updated, it does not reflect Review Periods but rather the Review Setups
   

2. There was some confusion as to how the Copy Action Plans From Previous should work, the consensus between me, Bertie and Lee-Ann is that you can only copy from your previous review years. You cannot use this to copy APs from an earlier Review Period within the same setup (This should happen with the CreateContractFromPrevious fix 4)
   Changed the query for the review years to exclude the year for the current contract.

3. The Copy Action Plans From Previous was not copying all the information, only Name and Description. Including now all AP fields on the copy.

4. When doing CreateContractPeriodFromPrevious it must also copy any Action Plans that exist on that contract period. (which it did not do)

Solution

1. Updated the translation to correct the label to show Review Setup
2. Changed the query for the review years to exclude the year for the current contract.
3. Modified the Action Plan handlers and queries to select all the additional information and to also copy that when creating the item. Had to fix an update here and there
4. Added a new portion to the CreateContractPeriodFromPrevious handler to check if there are any action plans on the source and then copied that to the new contract. Tries to copy the Ad-hoc items as well as those assigned to specific KPIs.

Cannot Copy from previous (#124269)

Problem

• The CopyFromPrevious / CopyFromTemplate functionality breaks when creating for an employee on a review setup that has leadership behaviours enabled.
• This is because only managers get the section added to their contracts, but the copy from then tries to add the default library items to the employee's contract.
• This breaks because the LB section does not exist to add it to.

Solution

• Do a check to not add the LB items if the employee is not a lIne manager.
• The preceding Create Contract step will not have created the ContractPeriodSections LB section if the employee is not a line manager.

Data Warehouse

Organisational path - Incorrect (#124143)

Problem

The issue was these 2 users' Appointments were edited last May according to the source data. The data warehouse data for these specific 2 users was not updated with the latest Org data. For Appointments, the data warehouse fetched the data that had been updated for the past 72 hours. I am not sure if the Datawarehouse at that time did not update the Appointment data or if there is perhaps an issue on the data source where the Edited Data did not update correctly, due to this being updated manually on the source DB with support query.

Solution

Adjust the Appointments DWH package to refresh all the appointments daily. This is now possible due to the massive performance improvements that were made within the DWH. This will ensure that the DWH does have all the latest appointments daily going on forward.

 'Null' values should return an empty string (#123389)
