I need to access 2 different elogd.cfg files.

 It's probably not of much help, but for a short time I ran two elog daemons on the same linux box, using different ports.  It was thus able to run with two separate elogd.cfg files.   This is linux, and heavily biased to my eccentric way of running this linux box, but started them as:

/usr/local/sbin/elogd -p 8080 -c /home/logbooks1/elogd1.cfg -d /home/logbooks1

/usr/local/sbin/elogd -p 8081 -c /home/logbooks2/elogd2.cfg -d /home/logbooks2

Do note that as I was the only user on that linux box, I didn't have login etc.

However, I was soon asked questions by Andreas as to how I found this running, as he had encountered problems with an earlier version.  To be honest, that stopped me experimenting too far with this at that point, as well as a coincidental upgrading of my hardware.

But I was doing this *not* because I had to run two separate elogd.cfg files, but other reasons which meant splitting into two at that time vastly improved the performance of elog on the linux box at that time.  So while I didn't actually enounter any problems in doing so, I only have limited experience - and, of course, absolutely none on running even one [windows equivalent of a daemon] on Windows.

I am assuming here you have good reason for two separate elogd.cfg files, rather than just wanting to run two separate logbooks - guessing here, but one set public (no login) and one set private (with login)?

 

 

 I need to do this because there are 2 different groups that each have 6 or 7 different logbooks in their elogd.cfg files.  (and they can't access each others log books)

Currently the first group  accesses elog as http:elog.com:8080.  The elogd windows service executes "C:\Program FilesELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "C:\Program Files\ELOG\elogd.cfg"  

From what I can tell, whats needed is either some way to get the windows service to run a different config file or there needs to be a way of creating a second elog windows service that points to a different elogd.cfg file. Is there some way of doing this?

Have you checked the option "Top groups", which was made especially for that case? You can create several independent sets of logbooks not seeing each other.

 I will check out the "Top Groups". But another question, the documentation says "Prior to ELOG version 2.4.1, one had to run two elogd servers in parallel, listening under different ports." ... how do you set this up?

You have to create manually a second service. Clone all entry from the first one, except the command line where you load a different elogd.cfg. But I actually never tried this myself.

Couldn't find any syntax for elogd.cfg

Thanks for your help :)

There are no specific classes for the search dialog, but you can play with the classes "form2", "attribname" and "attribvalue". These classes are used in several places, so all will change in the same way, but maybe that's what you like.

 Good day,

 

I was wondering (and I searched for :) ) a way to directly edit an entry while in summary view instead of having to first click on the entry then click on Edit...

I mean, in summary view, every row entry is clickable to access the entry itself (except email witch open email client), so instead to open it, can it be edited directly ?

Is it possible ?

No, this is not possible.

No, only "Fixed Attributes Reply".

I just tried myself and got:



Your ELOG account has been activated on host localhost:8080.

You can access it at http://localhost:8080/Demo/?unm=midas.

To subscribe to any logbook, click on 'Config' in that logbook.



I used following config:

[global]
Port = 8080
Password file = passwd
SMTP host = xxx
Self register = 3
Admin user = stefan
 
[Demo]
Attributes = Type, Subject, Author


So something in your config file must be different. Can you find out what it is?

Hi,

Is it possbile to compare dates in E-log?

And based on that calculation have conditonal formats on certain attributes.

We have a need to monitor a date attribute named "Preferred finished date" on records placed in E-log.

And if SYSDATE is greater than the "Preferred finished date" we want to mark certain attibutes with a color.

This is a good idea, but not implemented. I will put this on the wishlist.
