wrapping long lines in config file, posted by W.Koster on Fri Jun 12 16:59:18 2009

Greetings,
I was wondering, is it possible to wrap lines in the config file ?
I have to add a dropdown lost which is kinda long and typing everything on one line will make ik kinda unreadable.
Somehow wrapping the line so each entry will get on a separate line would make it much better readable. (which
makes less errors).

What I do is to use an editor with automatic wrapping functions, like the free PSPad editor. It nicely wraps line and indicates that:

Hello
I have the following in elog.cfg :
Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server, Subject , Change Window Begin , Change Window End
List display = ID,Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server, Subject , Change Window Begin , Change Window End
Type Change Window Begin = datetime
Type Change Window End = datetime
So I want to be able to give a start and end date to the user. However : If I open a find/Search I see this :
There are for each Change Window <item> we get Start: and End: time entries. Was expecting only one date entrie .
Why is this ? Seems to be a feature of datetime or am i missing something.

Right, that's a feature. Many people want to specify a range when doing a query on a date. Like Change Window Begin after Jan 1st, 2009 and before Jan 5th, 2009. If you just want a single date, set both Start: and End: to the same date, or actually the End: to Start+1 Day to cover all 24 hours of the Start: date. Otherwise when you have data + time, you would have to match the exact second to retrieve a certain entry. So having a range there is more powerful. |

Hmmm... I have to use vi and was hoping an \ at the end of the line (before the LF) would be supported. |

Use a real editor 
I seem to remember that Emacs can be configured for automatic line wrapping. |
synchronization, posted by lance on Wed Jun 17 09:05:27 2009

We are running elog across two sites and synchronizing every four hours on change only. There are about 100 entries per day of which most are just one line entries. However this is taking up to 9 mins and during the replication process the server gives us an "unavailable" error. We are using a T1 across the sites so bandwidth should not be an issue, I am confused as to why this takes so long.
The issue for us is not how long the sync takes, providing this was happening in the background, and doesnt lock out the server while the replication was taking place. We are operating under a 24 hour call center type environment so the server being available all the time is of paramount importance.
We use version 2.7.2 and I know there have been several changes made since this version. Would changing to the latest version have any impact on this?
Cheers,

A few days after I create entries in my logbooks, they are being deleted. Has this happened to anyone before? |

Never as far as I know. Try to do logging on your elog server ("Log file = ..."), then you will see all write/delete accesses. So if someone deletes your entries, you will see a trace. |
