Claude Instance Context: Test Datasheets Investigation (AD1)

Purpose: You are a Claude Code instance running on AD1 (192.168.0.27) at Dataforth's facility. Your job is to investigate the TestDataSheetUploader tool and the test datasheet workflow -- where files come from, where they go, and how this integrates with the DOS test machines.

This is a temporary investigation instance. Once findings are documented and synced to Gitea, this instance will be removed.

---

Your Mission

1. Find where test datasheets are generated -- which machine(s), which software, what path
2. Find where they end up -- the server-side path is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dataforth.com\WebShare\ProcessCheckOutTestFolder\ on whatever runs www.dataforth.com
3. Determine if this uploader is still in active use or if the workflow changed
4. Document the full datasheet pipeline -- from DOS test machine output through to the website
5. Sync your findings back to Gitea so the coordinator instance can see them

What We Already Know About TestDataSheetUploader

This is a VB.NET console app (.NET Framework 4.7.2) last built November 2, 2022.

What it does

1. Calls https://www.dataforth.com/Services/DirectoryManifest.aspx to get a list of files already on the web server
2. Compares local files against that manifest (by filename, size, and last-modified date)
3. Uploads new/changed files via https://www.dataforth.com/Services/Uploader.aspx
4. Deletes files from server that no longer exist locally via https://www.dataforth.com/Services/DeleteFile.aspx
5. Only processes files modified in the current year

Configured paths (from app.config)

• Service auth: username=DataforthWebShare, password=Data6277
• TestDataSheetPath: C:\Users\hoffm\Documents\Customer Folders\Dataforth\product lists
• TestFolderPath: C:\Users\hoffm\Documents\Customer Folders\Dataforth\product lists
• InventoryDataStagingFolder: C:\TestDataSheetUploader\staging
• InventoryDataSourceFolder: C:\TestDataSheetUploader\src
• InventoryDataFiles: AvSelCat.csv, AvSelCus.csv

Server-side destination (from error logs)

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dataforth.com\WebShare\ProcessCheckOutTestFolder\

Key unknowns -- what you need to find out

• Who is "hoffm"? Likely a Hoffman who worked at Dataforth. Which machine was this?
• Where do test datasheets originate? The DOS machines run QuickBASIC data acquisition. Do they produce datasheet files?
• Is there a path from DOS machines -> datasheets? The DOS machines map T: to \\D2TESTNAS\TEST. Is there a datasheets share they write to?
• Is the uploader still running? Scheduled task? Manual? Last used?
• Where does C:\Users\hoffm\... map to now? Did someone take over this role?

Investigation Steps

On AD1 (this machine)

# Check if TestDataSheetUploader exists anywhere on this machine
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Recurse -Filter "TestDataSheetUploader*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# Check for Hoffman's profile or traces
Get-ChildItem C:\Users\ -Directory
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\hoffm" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# Check scheduled tasks for anything datasheet-related
Get-ScheduledTask | Where-Object { $_.TaskName -like "*data*" -or $_.TaskName -like "*sheet*" -or $_.TaskName -like "*upload*" -or $_.TaskName -like "*sync*" }

# Check for IIS sites (AD1 might host www.dataforth.com)
Import-Module WebAdministration -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Get-Website -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Get-ChildItem "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

On AD2 (192.168.0.6)

# Remote into AD2 and check
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.0.6 -Credential (Get-Credential INTRANET\sysadmin) -ScriptBlock {
    # Check for the uploader
    Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Recurse -Filter "TestDataSheetUploader*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    # Check IIS
    Get-ChildItem "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    # Check for the WebShare path from error logs
    Get-ChildItem "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dataforth.com\WebShare" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    # Check scheduled tasks
    Get-ScheduledTask | Where-Object { $_.TaskName -like "*data*" -or $_.TaskName -like "*upload*" }

    # Check user profiles
    Get-ChildItem C:\Users\ -Directory
}

On D2TESTNAS (192.168.0.9)

# SSH from AD1 or any machine with access
ssh root@192.168.0.9

# Check datasheets share
ls -la /data/datasheets/
find /data/ -name "*datasheet*" -o -name "*TestData*" 2>/dev/null

# Check if DOS machines write any test output files
ls -la /data/test/TS-27/
find /data/test/ -name "*.pdf" -o -name "*.csv" -o -name "*.dat" 2>/dev/null

Check the Dataforth website services

# Test if the manifest service still responds
$cred = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("DataforthWebShare:Data6277"))
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.dataforth.com/Services/DirectoryManifest.aspx" -Headers @{Authorization="Basic $cred"} -Method GET -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

DOS Test Machine Architecture (Full Context)

The DOS machines are ~30 stations running DOS 6.22 with QuickBASIC 4.5 data acquisition software.

DOS Machines (TS-XX)  --SMB1-->  D2TESTNAS (192.168.0.9)  --SMB2/rsync-->  AD2 (192.168.0.6)
    |                              /data/test/                               C:\Shares\test\
    |                              /data/datasheets/                         C:\Shares\datasheets (PENDING)
    |
    +-- Map T: = \\D2TESTNAS\TEST
    +-- Run QuickBASIC data acquisition
    +-- UPDATE.BAT for remote management
    +-- TODO.BAT for remote task execution

Bidirectional sync runs every 15 minutes between D2TESTNAS and AD2 via /root/sync-to-ad2.sh.

The datasheets share (\\D2TESTNAS\datasheets -> /data/datasheets/) exists on D2TESTNAS but the corresponding AD2 share (\\AD2\datasheets) was never created -- it's listed as a remaining task. This may be relevant to the test datasheet pipeline.

Write your investigation results to:

clients/dataforth/dos-test-machines/Test Datasheets/INVESTIGATION.md

Include:

• What you found on each machine
• The complete datasheet pipeline (or what's missing/broken)
• Whether the uploader is still active
• Recommendations for what to do next

Then commit and push to Gitea using the credentials above.

Contact

• AJ at Dataforth -- engineering contact, can answer questions about the test workflow
• Coordinator instance -- will see your findings after you push to Gitea
