We have multiple users for a single elog.  Aside from making an entry only editable by the author, is there a way to secure the entry if it is being edited so that only one user may edit a particular entry at one time?

Also, is there a way to auto-submit entries after x minutes?

Your help and support are appreciated.

You can use

use lock = 1

as described in the documentation. Auto-submission is on the wishlist and will be implemented in the not-so-far future. 

I am in the process of upgrading from 2.6.0 to 2.9.0.  I am installing it on a windows 2008 r2 server which is 64 bit.  I am having a few issues and am just wondering if Windows 2008 R2 is support with version 2.9.0.  Is there anything I need to know about the installation other than just run the exe file?  So far I have run the exe file and installed the software, the service is running, however I cannot get into the application.  I do not have IIS installed, it does mention it in the installation documentation, is this a requirement?  Any hints or ideas at this point would be appreciated.  I am close I just need that last tweek.  Thanks

 Hi Maureen,

You write "Upgrading from 2.6.0" Is that version working on the same computer?
If so then its strange. Else try with one of the demo config files and see what happens, try different ports etc.

If the service is running it should work the rest too. I'm running it on a Win7 64 bit so 64 bit is not the problem....

Hi, I am trying to calculate two or more Elog fields and then return the value to Elog. I am currently learning Perl to do this. I realize JS can do this.. but so can IBM Basic ;)  I am savy with other db techniques like sql. My question is before I get too far along with this project, is it safe to say the current storage of Elog data is 'Flat File' database? I also want to find out if it would be better to try and grab the data prior OR  after it gets into the Elog database. I see there are other forum messages related to sql interfacing and such, but nothing conclusive.  I will submit my personal progress here. Thanks again, John

Yes elog stores data in a flat file database. Go to your logbook directory and look for files YYMMDDa.log where you find all data. Some people do a post submit call to scripts, other integrate JS directly on each page (e.g. via "bottom text" option where you can load a whole JavaScript file), then pick the fields and do calculations directly in the edit window.

Thanks Stefan soo much. As I've said, I will update this post(s) as I make any progress :)
