Email Notification: Clarification on Attribute - can value be a string?, posted by Alan Stone on Thu Oct 25 23:55:28 2007
|
I encountered a rather insidious feature which had me scratching trying quite
a number of things over the past couple of weeks until I compared what two
different users were doing.
I had defined the attributes:
; attributes
Attributes = Author, System, Report, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, System, Report, Subject
Extendable Options = System, Report
Options System = Data Transfer, RelVal, Skimming, Reconstruction, CSA07, Global Running, T0 Operations, T1 Operations, DataOps, ProdAgent
#Options Report = General, Fix, Info, Job Report, Problem, Shift Summary, Test, Flummoxed
Options Report = General, Fix, Info, Job_Report, Problem, Shift_Summary, Test, Flummoxed
Thread display = $Subject, entered by $author for $system on $Entry time
Quick filter = Date, Report
Reverse sort = 1
and the Email Notification:
; email notification
Suppress Email to users = 0
Omit Email To = 1
Use Email Subject = $system: $subject
#Use Email From = Author Email
Email Report General = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Fix = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Info = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
#Email Report Job Report = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Job_Report = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Problem = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
#Email Report Shift Summary = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Shift_Summary = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
I finally realized that logbook entries sent with a two-word Attribute value
(Shift Summary, Job Report) would not be forwarded to the CMS HyperNews
forum or Fermilab List Server. I incorrectly assumed that:
Email <attribute> <value> = <list>
an attribute could be a string.
Do I have to remove the spaces (replace with hyphens or underscores)?

If you read
http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#email
you will see the sentence:
If either the attribute or the value contains one or more blanks the string must be enclosed with quotation marks, as in:
* Email Type "Normal routine" = ...
so in your case you should write
Email Report "Shift Summary" = ... |

My current syntax is:
; Email notification
Suppress Email to users = 0
Omit Email To = 1
Use Email Subject = $system: $subject
#Use Email From = Author Email
Email Report General = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
I had to comment out the 'Use Email From' option because all forwarded
entries to the CMS HyperNews or Fermilab ListServer appeared to originate
from me (alstone@fnal.gov), even though other users were logged in and
saving the entries to the logbook. After commenting out this line, the
entries were properly credited when forwarded, although the
There are two admins defined in the [global] section, and "alstone" is
not the first name in the "Admin user" list.
Is this a bug, or have I used this option incorrectly?

Documentation says:
If Use Email From is present, it is always used. If not, the email address of the currently logged in user is used for the "From:" field. If no user is logged in, or the current user has not specified a email address in the password database, the setting of the option Default Email From is used for the "From:" field. Only if this option is not specified, a generic address ELOG@<hostname> is used, which might be rejected by the SMTP server however.
So if you write
Use Email From = me@some.where
then of course all emails have "me@some.where" in the From: field. If you want the email of the people logged in, you either remove this option (since it's the default anyhow), or you write explicitly
Use Email From = $user_email |

Hi,

Well, all this is possible with ELCode tags, as you can see below. The advantage is that you can enter these tags with any browser, even with a text based browser. Have you tried to use the web.de page with a non-IE browser like Firefox? It doesn't work! They use very special JavaScript and AJAX with locks you to IE. And this is not the philosophy of ELOG. You should be able to do everything, even if JavaScript is switched off.
