KI ELN maintenance
KI ELN is run by the central IT department in accordance with KI requirements for IT security. Regular backups, as often as once every hour, are set up for the KI ELN servers.
We are continuously removing inactive ELN licenses.
ELN accounts of users that have not logged into ELN for more than 1.5 years are closed.
All experiments are saved into the database and no information is lost.
The group leader and the group members that have access to the projects under which the inactive users have saved their experiments will still be able to access the experiments of the users that are removed.
To carry out maintenance of the servers and other components, or when necessary to upgrade the system, a maintenance window has been scheduled for Thursdays between 7 pm - 10 pm.
Before any major maintenance and upgrades all KI ELN users will be notified by email. Information will be also posted on this page.
If an upgrade fails, we have to revert to the earlier version of the software. Content and edits created in between the upgrade and the reversion may be lost. You are therefore requested to not use KI ELN during the maintenance window when notified of an upgrade.
Upgrade to version 2025 SP1
KI ELN will be upgraded to version 2025 Service Pack 1 on Friday the 31st of October
On that day, you will not be able to use KI ELN, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The new upgrade has increased stability, fixes previously identified defects and includes new features such as:
- expandable images in image sections for better viewing
- possibility to unlock previously locked sections in unsubmitted experiments
Please note that ELNAdminWeb is discontinued upon the upgrade to version 2025 SP1.
If you are a superuser, you will no longer be able to log in to ELNAdminWeb.
Instead you can view/administrate groups, users, projects, experiment types and lookups inside ELN by clicking on the Cogwheel – Administration.
Please see the dedicated superuser manual on https://medarbetare.ki.se/forskarstod/hantera-forskningsdata/ki-eln-den-elektroniska-loggboken/ki-eln-superuser-manual2
Please note that you will have to install version 2025 SP1 of the Biovia Desktop Connector after the upgrade. Biovia Desktop Connector is needed for pasting text within ELN and for uploading Microsoft Office documents.
