I have an attribute "Status" that can be toggled between "Open" and "Closed" and that propagates all replies.  On the 10th reply the application crashed, this is repeatable 100% of the time.  Without the propagate option everything works fine.

Attached is my config file parsed down.

Is there a way around this, or is there a way on reply to change the attribute of the log note you replied to from open to closed without using the propagate option?

 

Bad news: I cannot reproduce your problem with the latest elog version 2.9.2 (e7ba466) on scientific linux 6.0

I had to remove some lines in your config, since I don't have your password file.

I'll attach the config file, please have a look if it crashes on your server with the latest elogd version.

 Thanks for the reply, I tried the very basic cfg and the second one you offered.  Running 2.9.2-2475 on a Windows 2008 R2 V.Server, I still crashed on attempt 10 never fail.  Windows detects the failure and gives this message:

Faulting application name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707

Faulting module name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707

Exception code: 0xc00000fd

Fault offset: 0x00065127

Faulting process id: 0x340

Faulting application start time: 0x01ceefa87fea0aea

Faulting application path: D:\ELOG\elogd.exe

Faulting module path: D:\ELOG\elogd.exe

Report Id: ceccc3da-5b9b-11e3-80f1-5ac95c924b0b

It only happens when propagate is on, I have to be missing some security setting in Windows maybe?  Don't know if that helped at all, but I'm out of ideas.

Was a tricky problem. When you use "Propagate Attributes", a routine is called inside elogd which recursively goes through all replies. It uses quite some memory for temporary storage of attributes and attachments. So after a certain time you get a stack overflow since you run out of memory. Since the stack size is different under different operating systems, it was hard for me to reproduce it initially. Now I use some different memory (dynamic heap instead stack) which should fix the problem. Can you pull from GIT and give it a try?

 Unfortunately, I am a little outside of my element when trying to compile it.  I will ask around and see if someone here could give me a hand.  Thanks for looking into this for me.

 

PS.  If anyone else has managed to compile this could you give me a hand =)

 This resolved the issue, thanks for the help.  I have tested it on server machines and was able to go over 10 each time.

 

Thank you for resolving this issue for me.

Hi,

I'm new to elog and I was wondering if it is possible to do some presets on MOptions attributes when displaying a new form ? I've read the elogd config page but couldn't find how to do it.

Thanks for your help,

stephane

easy...

Preset MyAttribute = choice1 | choice2 | choice3
  167   Mon Nov 25 18:10:04 2002 Question Stephan EgliStephan.Egli@psi.chRequest  Show all common attributes
In the "find" command, when searching over all logbooks, it
would be nice to see ALL attributes, which are common for all
logbooks (e.g. typically the author name), not just
logbook name, date and text.

How does the corresponding elogd.cfg entry look like for the
display search command ? - I can't reproduce this behaviour...
