Frequently Asked Questions

Development process of PillarOne

I have found something which looks like a bug; where can I report it?

We use an issue tracker for reporting bugs, following the process of fixing and testing them. The issue tracker is also used to collect improvements and new feature requests. Consequently, the issue tracker contains both the history and the future development plans of the PillarOne.

Before reporting a bug make sure that you use the most recent PillarOne version and check if a similar problem has not already been reported by someone else. If you are unsure whether a bug has already been reported, then report it anyway - it is better to have a bug twice in the system, then to miss it. 

If possible include a recipe how to reproduce the bug and copy the top part of a stack trace at the end of the bug report. If it has anything to do with the user interface, it is best to include a screenshot.

Where can I see when which features get implemented?

The roadmap is available in the issue tracker. It contains new features, improvements and bugs which are schedule to be implemented in the upcoming versions.

Features which are already available are listed in the change log.

PillarOne would be very useful to me/us, if it had ... Can I somehow influence what gets implemented next?

Yes, you can. Please join the community; participate in the forum discussions and come to the community events to give us your view on what needs to be implemented.

I have a piece of business code, e.g. a reserving method, an implementation of a special reinsurance contract, or risk rating algorithm. Can this be integrated into the PillarOne libraries?

Please get in touch with us and we will gladly help. The nature of an open source project welcomes contributions from the community.

How do I reset the underlying mySQL database?

Note: This operation deletes all data from the database.

Ther are two ways to reset the database.

  1. Directly in IntelliJ IDEA: Open a Grails command line using: CTRL + ALT + "G"
    Type "-Dgrails.env=mysql init-mysql" and press Enter
  2. Open a OS console:
    Switch to the project directory
    Execute "setenv.cmd" for Windows or "setenv.sh" for all other operating systems.
    Type "grails -Dgrails.env=mysql init-mysql" and press Enter
