log entries made using n1mm+logger do not create award refs

[K0HD]

In Log4OM version 2.10.0.0, no award refs are being set for log entries made using N1MM+logger. This problem was first noticed during the ARRL November 2020 SSB Sweepstakes, but I can reproduce the problem at any time -- 100% reproducible -- fails on every entry. Direct log entries in Log4OM, and log entries passed from WSJT-X are working fine.

After the contest, I was able to force award refs to update through a manual, somewhat tedious, process of opening for update and then saving each log entry in Log4OM made during the contest. For me, this was a relatively small problem because I only had 70 entries made during the contest, but for someone with hundreds or thousands of entries, this could be huge task.

I did not notice this problem in prior versions of Log4OM.

How are the QSO'S coming into log4om

By ADIF import or what?

[K0HD]

Through UDP connection, as follows:

[UDP_INBOUND] [N1MM_MESSAGE] [12060] N1MM+

Note that other information related to the log entry appears to be correct in Log4OM.

Thanks for responding so quickly.

I will need to check this out and get back to you

BTW you posted in the wrong area of the forum, I will move the topic but posting here may cause a delay in getting a reply because we are concentrating on v2

[K0HD]

Thanks. By v2, do you mean v2.0.0.0 as differentiated from v2.10.0.0? I am experiencing the problem using v2.10.0.0

No John

You posted your question in the version 1 area of the forum which is obsolete

I moved it to the version 2 area of the forum which covers ALL versions of our latest version 2 software

Posting in the area which is for obsolete software may cause your problems to be overlooked

I am aware that you are using our most up to date and latest version, release number 2.10.0.0

[K0HD]

Thanks. Got it. Now I realize my mistake. Sorry

I'm participating in the CQWWCW contest. Pleasant surprise: just now I checked my log in Log4OM, and discovered that the award refs for QSO's logged in N1MM+Logger are are now being updated just fine in Log4OM. I didn't install any updates to Log4OM. Two days ago, after renewing my XML subscription in QRZ.com, I ran a test to see if the award refs problem was fixed by renewing my XML subscription; but I found that the award refs problem still existed. Then yesterday I installed the most recent update to N1MM+Logger before the start of the CQ contest, and today everything seems to be working fine. So I can only guess that the N1MM+Logger update fixed the problem with award refs not being set in Log4OM that I reported to you. Is it possible that N1MM+Logger was not passing some important piece of information in the UDP connection to Log4OM, thus preventing Log4OM from updating the award refs?

I hope this note reaches you before you spend too much time trying to figure out what was wrong.
