The maximum number or attributes is 100.

Is it possible to increase this?

Thanks!

Is there a Maximum number logbooks?

I have run into a problem but I'm not sure if to call it a Bug or not. We have started using Elog to keep a work log for each of our production servers. After a short trial I put generated a config file using groups for all of our servers which is 294 logbooks. Almost every thing works except the config screen. You get a list of all the logbooks with the checkboxes for the email notifications. If you click save (Doesn't make a difference if you make changes or not) you get the following.

Error: Too many parameters (> 120). Cannot perform operation.

I was able to recompile using cygwin under windows after changing MAX_PARAM from 120 to 400. That fixes the problem, but eventually you get a stack overflow.

Any suggestions? I have considered separate instances running 100 logbooks each but I would like to have a global search.

Thanks for a Great tool. I've been using it as a personal log for sometime and was finally able to convince my team we sould use it.

Hi,

we've got 109 logbooks in Elog. Whenever I set a notify for all logbooks in configuration menu it is limited to 73 entrys. After saving the changes the rest of the entrys are cut off.
I've already searched in the sourcecode if I can find some limitation for that but without success.

When I change the password file by hand, it is working as long as I don't change anything in the configuration that rewrites the file.

Regards,
Oliver

I am setting this up as instrument log in a multi-hospital system, where there will be multiple instruments, in multiple departments, at multiple facilities.

I am using the "Top Group" function to keep the books separate so operators from one instrument/department/facility don't contaminate another instrument/department/facility's logbook.

What I am wondering is there someway to set it up so that a system wide manager could post a message to 5 individual logbooks for 5 identical instruments at 5 different locations all at once (one ELOG server)?

I hope this made sense.  Thank you for your help.

Hello

Sometimes it can come in handy to start a temporary elog service on the Windows platform. ( Maybe for testing purposes )

You can use the SC.exe utility to do that. If it is not on you're system you may download it from : ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip

For this you can use the following procedure ( from the dos prompt ) :

 sc.exe create AIX-elog binPath= "\"c:\ELOG2.7.3\elogd.exe\" -D -c c:\ELOG2.7.3\security.cfg" DisPlayname= "AIX Elog Security" start= auto

If all went well the system answers :

 [SC] CreateService SUCCESS

Please notice the strange way the double quotes are used and the space after the = in the above command.

Now open the windows services ( from the prompt ) : services.msc

In the window that opens you will see the just created service with the DisPlayname you gave in the above command.

You see it is not started. You could click start, but there is an other way.

Now you can start the service from the prompt using the DisPlayname :

  net start "AIX elog security"

Press F5 ( refresh ) in the services window and you will see that the service is started.

Or stop the service :

  net stop "AIX elog security"

To remove the service ( from the registry ) :

   sc.exe delete AIX-elog

The system gives back :

  [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS

The other option is to start elogd.exe from the prompt :

  elogd.exe -c 

This is all for now

Hello,

I had trouble compiling elog on Mac OS X 10.4, and so, I hacked the makefile around...

I had to remove the -lutil flag that was passed to ld, for some reason. My guess is that it is not needed anymore with OS X 10.4... Also, the current install section of the makefile crapped out when using /usr/bin/install, I had to use install from gnu fileutils, which I installed through fink, which took precedence in my path... (/sw/bin/install), since bsd fileutil doesn't like the -D option.

For some reason, the paths to "install" in the makefile are either defined by the $(INSTALL) variable, or called directly. This seems not to be very consistent... In any case, I just changed it to use "install", no matter where it was in my path.

I'm currently hacking up something more elegant soon enough...

Also, I noticed that the binary produced was inconsistent and sluggish with the default wild CFLAGs, so I brought them back to something a bit more casual for Darwin. I used -Os because that's what Apple uses to build most OS X software. I also use -Os in my blackdog builds (which is an embedded PowerPC device) since space and memory *does* matters.

Well, here's the patch. I doubt it will be useful to anyone except for those who have gnu fileutils installed through fink, in their paths, and find themselves unable to build elog on OS X.

  65888   Wed May 21 21:06:38 2008 Idea Dennis Seitzdseitz@berkeley.eduRequestAll Make Email All = <list> override Suppress Email checkbox

 I would like to be notified by email of some logbook entries regardless of whether the user has chosen to suppress email or not.

This way I will always be aware of new entries, and users will still have the option of notifying a larger group of other users, or not.

As far as I can tell, presently the Suppress Email checkbox overrides Email All.

  67406   Tue Dec 18 23:03:57 2012 Question Hal Proctorhproctor2@gmail.comQuestionWindows2.91Main Logbook screen with Multi Grouped Logbooks with unique user permissions

I have a couple questions on how to configure multiple logbooks with groups.

  1. How can I have a user have permissions to a single logbook that is within a group and jump to it using tabs?
    1. Launching from main/home screen may work, but using tabs from one group to another where the single workbook resides in a group of others, it errors out or asks for login to a logbook you may not have rights to.(always the first book in the group)
  2. How can I force a main login to direct you to the MAIN logbook selection screen?

 

Example: (use images for reference)  A user has permissions to "Punch" and "Maintenance".  Maintenance is a single logbook and Punch is within the group "Dry Room". 

While the user is in Maintenance and without having to jump back to the MAIN selection screen, how can the user select the Tab "Dry Room" as seen in image, without throwing up or redirecting you?
