| Edmundo T Rodriguez wrote: | I was able to install ELOG v2.61. in a Compaq ProLiant DL360 running with SUSE Linux v10
The migration/implementation went quiet well ...
ELOG v2.6.1 application came up find!.
I can login with No problems.
I can see previous logs entries, sort, etc.
But, I can NOT create any new-log (new entries) in any logbook. I get this message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New entry cannot be written to directory
"/eLOGv261/logbooks/Administration/"
Please check that it exists and elogd has write access and disk is not full
Please use your browser's back button to go back
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The previous logbooks where in ...
\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\Administration
\MainFrame
\Unix
\OpenVMS
\RDBMS
New logbooks are in the following place ...
/eLOGv261/logbooks/Administration
/MainFrame
/Unix
/OpenVMS
/RDBMS
How can it read old log entries and I NOT create new ones?
I am sure I missing something. Can I know what?
Also, It will be good to have an entry in the ELOG web-site
explaining any migration steps from Window to Linux and reverse!
Please, help.
Thank you! |

(Not knowing how the files got from Windows to Linux is a little problematic but the translation of permissions is not straightforward.) Compare the settings with how you have eLog starting up on your linux box. Typically, when run as a daemon, it starts as ROOT then becomes the USER/GROUP that you specify in the .cfg file. It is likely that you will find a permission mismatch. As to why you can read but not write, with a permission mask of 744 and .log files owned by root but elogd running as nobody, you would be able to read the logs but not change them. Sounds like the permissions are similar on the directories as well. Perhaps you could post the info back here.

Hi,
here I am at it again. Since my first posts, I tried to install the latest version of elog out-of-the-box on one pair of
PCs from scratch (fresh elog install on new, just-installed PCs, OS WinXP Pro and Win2000), but with no results. No
trace of the global configuration menu or the buttons to reach it.
Neither taking a look at the code has helped, I could not figure out exactly where the button bar was generated.
Didn't anybody other point out a similar behaviour? Do you have any suggestion for any tests to carry out?
Thanks

 | Steve Jones | steve.jones@freescale.com | Request | | 2.6.1 | Simple math within an elog form | This may sound a little strange but I am trying to determine if it is possible to create a series of attributes that may be assigned an integer value via OPTIONS, and then take the selected values and perform some simple math and display the result. For example:
What we are trying to do is create a simple form that helps a person assign a risk value to a series of identified risks
Attributes = risk1, risk2, risk3, totalrisk
Type risk1 = numeric
Type risk2 = numeric
Type risk3 = numeric
OPtions risk1 = 10, 20, 30
Options risk2 = 10, 20 , 30
OPtions risk3 = 10, 20 , 30
Subst totalrisk = $risk1+$risk2+$risk3
I suppose I could use $shell to do this but I was trying to stay away from $shell for security reasons.
Thanks |

This item is already on the wishlist, so I added your vote there. But due to my workload, it will certainly not be implemented in the next few weeks. |

Ok, understood. So instead I am trying to use $shell and am running into a problem

What comes out with my simple echo or gawk line is "+ + " so it looks like the attributes are not getting passed into the $shell code? |

The reason is that the substitutions get evaluated from left to right, so first the shell is called with $Risk1, and because the shell by itself does a subsitution and $Risk1 is not defined on the unix system, the shell returns an empty string, leading to "+ +" as the result.
I changed that in the current SVN version, so we have first the attribute substitions, then then shell substitution. The "echo $Risk1..." will of course not work, since it gets substituted by elog as "echo 12 + 23 + 45" (or whatever the numbers are), and the "echo" will just return these numbers without adding them. To make the shell to add things, you would need to define the risks as environment variables for the shell, so I guess the "gawk" method will work better for you. I tried it and it worked fine for me. |

Sorry, I waSn't clear about just why I was using "echo". Since elog removes the /tmp/elog_shell temporary file I couldn't "see" what was actually being passed to the shell - gawk was giving me an error and I was flying blind. So I used echo to create my own temporary file.
Yes, gawk should now work -- I'l download and compile the latest and provide feedback.
Thanks! |

Ok, confirming that this now works. Passing the command:
Subst <attribute> = $shell(gawk 'BEGIN{ print $Attrib1 + $Attrib2 + $Attrib3 }' )
will cause the result to be pushed into <attribute>, so gawk in essence becomes a simple calculator and operates on the formula "$Attrib1 + $Attrib2 + $Attrib3". |
