Re: Under eLogs/LOTW ALL DATA no longer works properly
Scott Davis
Hi Bob,
Thanks for your thoughts and comments. All Data stopped working after ARRL made a change to how their server responds to the query. I'm not directly involved with the LoTW folks, so I don't have anything more specific than that.
The next release will default to a date older than all of us (unless any of us are over 120) for All Data, so the functionality will be restored.
Enjoy! 73, Scott

I'm too am curious...What changed to cause "All Data" to stop working? I suspect LoTW is the culprit. I have never used "Confirmed Since". I have been using your ACL for five years and up until a couple of months ago I have only used two buttons to check LoTW for confirmations. Early on I would just use "All Data" until my log size reached a point where it would take too long to process. That was about the size when your software started warning about the time involved (log size over 1000 QSOs) to use "All Data". I then switched to using "All Since" and would adjust the date accordingly to a date in the recent past, maybe a week or a couple of months time frame. This made the processing time tolerable. Occasionally though I would use "All Data" to do a complete look back to see if someone from way back decided to upload their log and every now and then I would get a confirmation from the early days. I knew it would take some time to process the whole log so I would start it and then do something else and check back later. Maybe even something non-HAM related. About a month or two ago I started one of these complete "look backs" and I noticed that it completed VERY QUICKLY, even before I got up from the desk. I solved the problem by using "All Since" with the "since" date being day #1 for my log. It still takes the "walk away from the desk " time to process since I told it to do everything in the log, but it does work. Thanks for your GREAT SOFTWARE PACKAGE and all the work you do to update and support it. I recommend it highly to anyone in need of logging software. 73, Bob - W8RES On 05/15/2020 07:51, Scott Davis via

Hi
Dave,
You should routinely use All Since, not Confirmed Since, so
that your sent but unconfirmed records are marked as well.
I am going to reorder those buttons on the LoTW form in the
next release.
Enjoy!

my issue so I continued using ALL DATA.
I now use
Confirmed Since with no issues.
I was just
wondering why ALL DATA stopped working, but Scott
replied with the answer.
Thanks,
