Differences between ILS and ELS
32 CDR Manual
• Status monitoring of connection between AltiWare/ACM and Logger
Service - User Database ID and Client ID can be used to verify
connection to Logger Service. “Database ID” is fixed to “Default” and
cannot be found on any GUI. “Client ID” is mentioned as “Password”
in AltiAdmin/ACM Admin and External Logger Service
Configuration. If the verification fails, the status of the Logger Service
is “Invalid Password,” which can be monitored by the administrator.
• If no database is set up correctly, or the database is shut down when
Logger Service is starting, it will be stopped.
Differences between ILS and ELS
Internal Logger Service
• Only supports Microsoft Access Database
• Implements auto retain and backup mechanism (one-12 months)
• Only AltiWare/ACM Admin within the same computer can connect to
the Internal Logger Service.
External Logger Service
• Supports any database that provides ODBC drivers for Microsoft
Windows 2000 platform (including Access, SQL 2000, SQL 7, Oracle,
DB2, Sybase, MySQL)
• No retain/backup mechanism
• Any computer can connect to the server (TCP port 10027)
• Any number of AltiWare systems with different System IDs can
connect to the same Logger Service. If two AltiWare systems with the
same System ID try to connect to the same Logger Service, the second
Logger Service will get a “System ID conflicted” error.
• When ELS is installed within Microsoft SQL 2000, the installation
program will create database, ODBC configuration, and other
configuration by default. If it is installed to work with remote SQL
2000 and any other Relation Database, the customer must manually
configure Logger Service first.
