I am also including the .cfg that I used on my Windows box which is the same .cfg that I use in our Solaris environment. |
Steve,
again I could not reproduce your problem. See the attached screenshots. It just works fine with me (of course I miss the HTML files for the header and footer). I use however the most recent version of elog (Revision 1675). I also have a different password file. So try the following:
- look into your password file (it's a simple XML text file), it should contain something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

- make sure that you have the most recent version of elogd. Try at least elog261-3.exe under Windows.
- are you sure you need top groups? Top groups are ment for groups of logbooks which are completele unrelated, like from different departments, with different admins etc. Historically top groups were implemented because some elog installations had several elogd servers running in parallel for different departments. In you case, I suspect that "normal" groups might be enough, like:
Group Engineering Compute Change Logs = TX11-CL, TX30-CL, TX32-CL, AZ34-CL, AZ50-CL, FL29-CL, IL108-CL, IL05-CL, Approvals-CL, Template-CL
Group Engineering Compute Incident Logs = TX11-IL, TX30-IL, TX32-IL, AZ34-IL, AZ50-IL, FL29-IL, IL108-IL, IL05-IL, Template-IL
|
Aacck! I thought sure that this would do it for you. Ok, to answer your last question first:
1> I am reasonably sure that I need top groups. The logbooks with the -CL extension have a common attribute structure. The logbooks with the -IL extension have a common attribute structure. Neither group is the same. Prior to using Top Group I was using a global config for the -CL's but manually maintaining consistent -IL configs was horrible. Top Group solved my problem: maintaining only two config "areas" as opposed to many is very efficient. Do you have another way of doing this other than running two instances of eLog?
2> My password file on Windows is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

3> I see your screen shots. Try going in and creating a new logbook and tell me if it dies. In the meantime is the latest version available in compiled form for Windows? If so, I'll install it and try again. At this point I am looking at starting a new config file from scratch but unless you can suggest another way I think Top Group is my only option. |
Ok, I completed stripped any attributes and only defined top groups. eLog no longer crashes but returns a completely invalid page with invalid links when I attempt to create a new logbook - see screenshot below. This is good as it means something in the config was causing things to blowup. I have also attached my stripped out config.
Incidently, I added another screenshot - an invalid link when I *delete* a logbook gets returned "http://localhost:8080/Test4-CL/Engineering%20Compute%20Change%20Logs/". Definitely not a correct URL.

I'm pretty busy these days, since we have a deadline on April 18th. I started already working weekends, so not much time is left for ELOG. But I hope it will get better by the end of this month. |
I fully understand and appreciate your response! |

| 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". |
