Thanks a lot Stefan,

I asked if it is possible, in general, to create a connection and automatically fill in the tables of a report, or export the data into excell tables to then be connected to the report, having in our case about 24 process tables to be filled in with data or validation, for each report. If the compilation is not automatic, after having compiled the elog in each phase of the processing, the manifacturing report will then have to be compiled manually.

We use elog, having already used it in MEG We must then compulsorily also make manufacturing  and test reports. The expected space-type documentation format for these documents is in word.

Below is a small example of a test table, with just a few steps.

Thanks again

Manuela

Great, but what's the corresponding URL for the RSS feed itself

IE 6 chokes on the XML, below is what I get for 
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf
(sorry this is in french).
So I assume all rss reader parsing the file with the MS XML parser shall also 
have a problem, this is the case with Avant Browser integrated RSS reader.

Cheer,
Marc

Hi Stefan,

The parsing now seems OK, IE downloads the XML and the RSS reader of Avant 
Browser 
accepts the feed. 
I still have a problem however : below the header, only the first 3 items 
are displayed and it seems only partially.
I included the HTML result so you can "visualize" what's going on (this may 
also be on the avant browser side !).

Cheers,
Marc

Hi,

It's possible to build elogd under windows with cygwin, but not sure that is the best as it requires a lot of dependencies that should be included to dist package to be runnable everywhere.

After

• installation of dependencies (gcc-g++, make, libssl1.1, libssl-devel, opendlap-devel, libopenldap2, libkrb5-devel, libkrb5_3) using CygWin setup program,
• instalkation of git tool and clone the git repo (git clone https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog --recursive),
• modification of Makefile to build with Kerberos/ldap/ssl support,

from cygwin bash under Windows 11, you can build elog :
