  67669   Thu Feb 27 15:15:55 2014 Question Donalddon.drummel@gmail.comQuestionWindows2.9.2-2475XML import Error

Hi

 

I've written a powershell script parse a html table that contains old log book data that i would like to import to a elog book.  I've attached a example of the output.

When i attempt a import i get this error

"XML file does not contain <ENCODING> element"

The file does contain an encoding for utf-8  I've tried converting the xml to ANSI and ISO-8859-1 encodings but i get the same error.

is there something obvious that I'm missing?

here is the config of the log book:

 

[WLTST]
Theme = default
Comment = Test Logbook
Attributes = Author, Object, Action
Comment Author = Username
Comment Action = What
Comment Text = Why
Required Attributes = Author, Object, Action, Text
Page Title = Test Logbook
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

Hi Donald,
yes, the import function gave me some headache in the past, too.

Here it appears that <ENCODING> </ENCODING> became somehow mandatory. But it has a different meaning then what you expect: it is the type of code in the text field, one out of HTML, ELCode or plain.
(Stefan: is this needed to be mandatory? Couldn't you just have some default ?)
In your case: you can just add the XML code "<ENCODING> </ENCODING>" before the <TEXT> token.
My problems were always related to the date format: elogd is very restrictive about what date format it is accepting. that will be your next pproblem ;-)

I hope this helps.

 Hi Andreas

That worked,  thank you so much. now I'm on to a new error. 

Now every time i try to do the import it crashed the elogd. 

OS is windows server 2008 R2.  I have the elogd installed as a service.

here is the even log:

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

Faulting module path: D:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\elogd.exe
Report Id: defc3f39-a3cb-11e3-9dd5-005056954c86

I have attached the Data file I'm using to generate the fault every time.  same config as before.   Any Ideas?

 Anyone have any luck reproducing the error? or have suggestions on how to fix it?

Using the "Link Display  =" I can turn of the link to each individual entry, however, I would like to have a custom link in one of my columns. Is this possible?

 

Thanks for this wonderful tool.

We have been successfully using the TCK-##### for several months and suddenly today it has stopped incrementing. We were at ticket # 40 and this morning any new tickets come up as 12 and never increment? We have tried restarting the elog service. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thank You

My apologies for posting this question. I have found the solution.

We had two log books each with the same variable called "Ticket" but different values. When an entry from one was Moved to the other the counter was confused. I had to manually change the value of "Ticket" to match the convention of the log book that the entry was now in.

 

Thanks
