Hello

In my config file I have the following :

Options Head = AIX61{1},AIX53{2}, AIX52{3},HMC{4},CL_CLUSTER{5},VIRTUALIZATION{6},MICROCODE{7},BG_BLUEGENE{8}

{1} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL00,TIPS
{2} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL07,TL06,TL05,TL04,TL03,TL02,TL01 ,TIPS
{3} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL10,TL09,TL08,TL07,TL06,TL05,TL04,TL03,TL02,TL01 ,TIPS
{4} Options Topic = HMC_CORRECTIVE, HMC_SECURITY,HMC_FIXES,HMC_INSTRUCT,HMC_MEDIA,HMC_DOCUMENT
{5} Options Topic = CL_DEEPCOMPUTING,CL_SYSMGMT,CL_GPFS,CL_LOADLEVELER,CL_ESSL,CL_PARALLEL_ESSL,CL_SWITCH,CL_RSCT,CL_PENV,CL_INIFINI
{6} Options Topic = PLM,VIOS_PM,VESS,VIOS,VIOS_WPM
{7} Options Topic = 2104-XU3,7017-S80,7017-S70,7020-40P,7025-F50,7025-F40,7025-F80,7026-B80,7026-H80,7026-M80,7028-6C4,7028-6E1,7029-6E3,7025-H50,702X-H70,7038-6M2,7039-651,7040-6X1,7043-140,7043-240,7043-260,7044-170,7248-43P,7043-150,704X-270,8203-E4A,8204-E8A,8844-3AZ,9076-SP,9110-510,9110-51A,9111-285,9111-520,9112-265,9113-550,9114-275,9115-505,9116-561,9117-570,9117-MMA,9118-575,9119-590,9119-595,9123-XXX,9124-XXX,9131-52A,9133-55A,9406-MMA,7037-A50,7047-185,ADAPTERS,DASD,DRIVES,CERTIFIED,OTHER
{8} Options Topic = BG_RELEASES,BG_FIXES,BG_COMPILERS,BG_REDBOOKS,BG_GPFS,BG_ESSL,BG_LOADLEVELER,BG_CSM

All is working fine when creating new entries. But when i use the  find command window,  i only see the Head options and selecting one of them,

the Topic options will not show up like they do when creating new entries.

I've installed the latest elog on Fedora ( version ELOG V2.7.3-2058 ) , but it's the same as the window version i'm using .

Would be nice if the user can search with the same items he used entering the data into the form.

Thanks for you're time.

Hi, I'm evaluate currently if we can use ELOG as an shiftbook. So far I like ELOG very much, but I got a question.

Is it possible to have sticky message entries? Entries that always show up on top of the others. Thats for important entries that are valit for multiple shifts. 

Have looked arround here, but could not find anything in that direction.

Many thanks for any answer.

Peter

Nobody an idea if it is possible?

Sorry, I overlooked your first question.

Sticky entries are not directly supported, but you can get the same (maybe even better) using following scheme:

- Use an attribute, like the "Type" in the example logbook, and add an option "Sticky"

- Use "quick filter = type". This shows up a filter box on the listing at the top right. If you select "Sticky" there, a listing with all sticky entries will show up.

- Use a different style for such an entry with "Style Type Sticky = background-color:red". This makes all sticky entries show up with a red background.

Danke Stefan, I check it out.

Hmm, I'd like to use the style command, but it has no effect if I put it into the config. If I understood it right, it should be done this way:

Options Status = Open, Info, Resolved, Suspended, Waiting, Important
Style Status Important = background-color:red
Style Status Resolved = background-color:green

They are just showing up with the default style. Am I doing something wrong?

 EDIT: Just downloaded the latest version and now it works. My old one was 2058, BUT, how can I change multiple styles, e.g. background and font color at the same time? Komma does not seem to work and two style lines also not.

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

You can separate them with a semicolon. Just like:

Style Category Info = background-color:lightblue;font-weight:bold

Note that you cannot change the font color, since it is a link, and that is defined in the default.css file under

/* standard link colors and decorations */
a:link { color:#0000FF; text-decoration:none }
a:visited { color:#800080; text-decoration:none }
a:hover { color:#0000FF; text-decoration:underline }
a:active { color:#0000FF; text-decoration:underline }
a:focus { color:#0000FF; text-decoration:underline }
