Hi Stefan,

I have observed following behavior when I move entries from one logbook to another:

  1. The first entry in "Open" get ID "1"
  2. When I move this Item to "Closed", it will keep ID "1" as I have used "Preserve IDs = 1"
  3. A new entry in "Open" gets ID "1" again
  4. When I move this item to "Closed" it will overwrite the previous ID "1" in "Closed"
  5. A new entry in "open" gets ID "1" again....

Every new entry in "Open" will get the next higher ID Number related to the highest available ID number/entry in "Open".

Upon "move to Closed", the previous entries in "Closed"will be overwritten.

Is there a way to prevent the usage of a previously used ID Number when entering a new ID?
I.e. If an entry with ID "1" has been used in "Open" and moved to "Closed", have the next entry in "Open" use ID "2"?

Kind regards,

Barend

 Hi Barend,

The counting of entries, or even "tickets", only works within a particular logbook.  If you archive a set of entries to another [archive] logbook, the archived set disappears from view of the original logbook.  Should that entry, from logbook to archive, be the *latest* thread, then there is the danger of over-writing message ID, Ticket No and the like.

 

My policy to prevent the problem is to archive only threads that are say (depending upon use) a month after last entry..

 

 

I generally consider using the ID as ticket number a bad idea. The ID is the "primary key" (in terms of database language), and must be unique inside a logbook. So when moving entries between logbooks, there will be always problems.

Why don't you define an attribute "Ticket ID" and use that one? That won't change when you move the entry between logbooks:

Attributes =  Ticket ID, Subject, ...
Preset Ticket ID = ID-#####

 

 Hi All,

 

I have tried to use the "Ticket ID" approach and with each new entry this Ticket ID is indeed increased automatically...

But when the last Entry (with the highest Ticket ID i.e. ID-0009) is move to another Logbook, the Ticket ID in the next new entry will be "ID-0009" again (based upon the last previous entry "ID-0008").

So this appraoch will also re-produce duplicate Ticket IDs.

Is it possible to have the Ticket ID preset with value based upon the Date & Time of the entry? Instead of holding a Date/Time format, use a calculated numeric format?

This way, each new entry will have a truely unique Ticket ID.

Thanks & Regards, Barend

Hi Stefan,

I'm experiencing problems importing XML (.csv is not working at all for me).

My logbook contains 3 date-attributes besides the system DATE (entry time), date-format is defined as %d %b %y.
The XML file hold the date format "DD.MM.YYYY"

- During "preview" I see that all entries are listed.

- During the import I get the "wrong date format" error.

- When I review the Summary, I see that only the first XML entry (all 3 date-attributes hold a date) was imported.

- When I try to re-import the XML from the second entry (after removing the 1st entry from XML - this second entry hold NO date-value on one of the date-attributes) the elogd.exe crashes and I get the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error page.

- When I try to re-import the XML from the modified second entry (after removing the 1st entry from XML - this second entry holds date-value on all of the date-attributes) the elogd.exe crashes and I get the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error page.

 

Any suggestion what could be wrong? Is it the missing date-value?

  67583   Mon Oct 14 12:08:16 2013 Question Barendoffice@amtc2.comQuestionWindows2.9.2Error: Attribute <date> not supplied.

Stefan/Andreas,

When I reply to an existing Logbook entry, I get the error page "Error: Attribute Audit Date not supplied. Please go back and enter the Audit Date field."

The configuration file uses:

Required Attributes = Audit No, Audit Date, Audit Type, Finding No, Finding Level, Section, MOE Procedure, Finding Details, Auditor, Deadline, Responsibility
Fixed Attributes Reply = Audit No, Audit Date, Audit Type, Finding No, Finding Level, Section, MOE Procedure, Finding Details, Auditor, Deadline, Responsibility
Type Audit Date = date
Type Deadline = date
 

The combination "Required Attributes" and "Fixed Attributes Reply" does not work for date-fields.

As soon as I disclose the date fields from either "Required Attributes" or "Fixed Attributes Reply" the error is no longer evident.

But I want the "Audit Date" and "Deadline" to entered during a new Record and they shall not be changed during a reply.

 

Is this a bug -or- do I have to change the configuration?

 

Thanks & regards, Barend

Hi Barend,

I can reproduce your point. 

I've found various work-arounds, but possibly the best one is to remove "Audit Date" and "Deadline" from the Required Attributes line.  True you won't get a warning saying that they were not entered for the first entry (if you didn't enter them, that is), but all subsequent replies run as you would want.

Another way is if you *preview* your entry, you can then submit it and that works.  This seems to work by bring up a different page where you can edit all those Fixed Attributes.  (I'm not sure that Preview is meant to do that, but it does and it's a work-around).

Or, if you remove "Audit date" and "Deadline" from the Fixed Attributes Reply (as you did) seems to work in the same way.  But I see that you don't want the opportunity for these to be changed.

I note that if you get this error message and go back, the message that you may have written is erased (this is unusual, it doesn't do this if you have not supplied an attribute on the first entry, say).

 

So I suspect this is a bug, possibly not detected before; perhaps no-one had tried this combination.

 

Hi David, Thanks for the reply. I'll review the options and decide what is the best option to move forward. Regards, Barend

 Can you post your elog configuration file (elog.cfg)?

 Hi Andreas,

Regards, Barend

Hi Barend,

I can confirm that this is a bug of the ELOG import function: if you have a field that is defined as type "date" or "datetime", then elogd requires the value of the field to be of a matching format.
It is not even allowed to omit the time in "datetime" format. If the field is not required in an entry, then it is therefore possible to create an entry that cannot be imported.
I've attached a minimal example elogd.cfg and XML import file to reproduce the problem.
I'm afraid you'll either need to wait for a patch, or you can add dummy dates for all your empty date fields in the XML import file. Just do a "replace all" with your favourite editor; in my example you would e.g. replace all "<D></D>" strings with "<D>01-01-1970</D>" before the import.

  67788   Thu Jan 29 10:16:01 2015 Question Banata Wachid Ridwanjogjacard@yahoo.comQuestionWindows3.0.0SMTP Host Error and export to CSV question

Hello

first of all, congrats for bring back the forum after down for sometimes, :D

but seems my old account is broken, I cant login with that anymore, so I make new account and strangely I can make identical account like the old one ahahahaha

 

okay first question :

Recently my elog setup got smtp host error, everytime someone submit log, error result that SMTP host is not found in global setting.

I dont't set mail server on my server so I cant use smtp host function, and I use register type 1 to avoid email function, but after sometimes those error occured, it seems some members accidentally check ëmail notification option

so, how to completely disable this function or maybe some work around on this error? I dont have mail server right now,

 

second

When we export logbook to CSV and open to microsoft excel, html tags still there, how to ommit html tags completely during export? and how to make nice table data from csv in elog? I saw many inconsistency there, especially on comment data

for example if I make more than two lines of logbook, second line will place in first column , not in the last column, just like the first line of comment.

  67790   Fri Jan 30 03:12:33 2015 Reply Banata Wachid Ridwanjogjacard@yahoo.comQuestionWindows3.0.0Re: SMTP Host Error and export to CSV question

sorry for may bad english, not my natives :D

for first question, I'll make it clear,

after sometimes running elog, suddenly SMTP host error occured.

I dont have SMTP host= on my configuration, but that error keep show up.

how to disable email notification completely for my elog? or at least how to disable those SMTP Host error?

I'll try supress email users =1 to my elog.cfg and error still exist. where I should place supress email users flag to make it works?

on the picture attached, it is said there is no smtp host defined in global setting.

could it be because members check automatic email notification on their setting?

 

for second question I'll attach my csv file, and you will see <p> </p> tags still there, and inconsistency when open it to ms excel (see picture)

you can see that portion of text file (second line of text file and soon, placed in "id pesan")

 

please help us.

 

Andreas Luedeke wrote:

If you have more than one topic it is better to do more than one post.

I did not understand your first question. You should not have a line "SMTP host= " if you don't want to send any email. Have you tried "Suppress Email to users=1" to get rid of the error message?

If you export in cvs format, then it is the correct behaviour that multiple lines of text in the body are put into quotation marks and printed as multiple lines in the output. Every spreadsheet program (Excel, Openoffice, Libreoffice, ...) should be able to read that into a table. I've tested it, it works fine. If you have a problem, then you'll need to attach your elogd.cfg file and the exported file in the forum and some screenshots of what your MS Excel does with it.
