What I do is to use an editor with automatic wrapping functions, like the free PSPad editor. It nicely wraps line and indicates that:



Hmmm... I have to use vi and was hoping an \ at the end of the line (before the LF) would be supported.


Use a real editor Wink

I seem to remember that Emacs can be configured for automatic line wrapping.

Hello

I have a config file  :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,HPSD_ID, Cust_ID ,Subject ,  Change Window
; which fields will be shown !!
List display = ID,Author, Category, Customer, server, HPSD_ID, Cust_ID,Subject ,  Change Window

Type Change Window  = datetime
# Type Change Window End = datetime
Options Category = Network , Server ,
Options Customer = Arag{A}, Frieslandbank{B}, Super de Boer{C}, NRE{D}

{A} Options server = arag-lin1,arag-lin2,arag-lin3,arag-lin4, arag-lin5, arag-lin6, arag-lin7
{B} Options server = rc1upas02, rc1upas22,rc1upas03,rc1upas04,rc1uptsm01,rc1upas07,rc1upas08
{C} Options server = xia61031,xia61032 ,xia61033,xia61034,xia61035,xia61036,xia61037,xia61038,xia61039,xia61040,xia61032 ,xia61033,xia61034,xia61035,xia61036,xia61037,xia61038,xia61039,xia61040
{D} Options server = server27,server32,server34 ,server37,server38,server40
Extendable options = Category , Customer,server
Required Attributes = server , customer, Subject, Change window Begin , Change Window End
 

This works OK, However when I change the {A} Options  to {A} Moptions in the above code i get an error which tells me that a required field is not selected. So, with the pull down it works, with Moptions ( select boxes )  it will say that a required field is not selected.  Any hints ?

regards Arno

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in SVN revisoin 2213.

A few days after I create entries in my logbooks, they are being deleted. Has this happened to anyone before?

Never as far as I know. Try to do logging on your elog server ("Log file = ..."), then you will see all write/delete accesses. So if someone deletes your entries, you will see a trace.

We are running elog across two sites and synchronizing every four hours on change only. There are about 100 entries per day of which most are just one line entries. However this is taking up to 9 mins and during the replication process the server gives us an "unavailable" error. We are using a T1 across the sites so bandwidth should not be an issue, I am confused as to why this takes so long.

The issue for us is not how long the sync takes, providing this was happening in the background, and doesnt lock out the server while the replication was taking place. We are operating under a 24 hour call center type environment so the server being available all the time is of paramount importance.

We use version 2.7.2 and I know there have been several changes made since this version. Would changing to the latest version have any impact on this?

Stefan,

I have been running logging and I think I have found the problem however I do not know how to resolve it.

Here is where it is going wrong:

19-May-2009 04:02:48 [] {NSS} MIRROR: ID21268: Local entry submitted

19-May-2009 04:07:34 [] {AMC} MIRROR: send entry #31056

It seems that when it has finished replication on one logbook there is a significant time before the next logbook replication starts. During this time the server is not avalable. I have noticed that the time between ending one logbook and starting the next differs betwee 2 and 5 minutes. Again the server is not available when this happens.

Do you have any idea?

Cheers,

 

Lance

We are currently having problems with Elog, I never had a problem installing it before but with my last 3 install I can't get it to work. We are running under Windows XP, the installation works perfectly but when I try to use the shortcut pointing to the localhost 8080, I get an error page from Internet Explorer telling me that the server cannot be found. I've rebootied the computer to make sure the server was running but still the same problem. Is there a basic requirement I should look at (Dotnet versionX or specific DLL required)?

No, there is no Dotnet or DLL required. Just start the ELOG server manually by clickin on Start/Programs/ELOG Server/Start ELOG server manually and watch if you can spot any error. One person reported that downloading again the package solved a similar problem.

 Thanks for the feedback, I found the problem, someone installed the AVG toolbar in Internet Explorer in the computers, and for some reason the AVG Error Redirection option prevents Elog from opening in Internet Explorer.

Probably a very bad config file. On Windows XP it informs we of Dr Watson, memory could not be read message. Using Firefox 3.0.11 But if I use IE 7, no problem at all.. Any suggestion?

This must be related to the unknown cookie "style". There was some work recently on elog to make it robust against unknonw cookies. The latest modification was on version 2192, and you probably have an older version. I made a release elog276-2.exe for you. Try it and let me know. You can also just delete your cookies in Firefor and it should be fine, but it's better not being able to crash elog.

Sure I will try, but I cannot find the version you are talking about in the download section. Should I find it there or any other place? Thanks for quick feedback
