Andrew,

Could you, please, explain better about local CA client? 

How can it subscribe to local records automatically? Or will it have
list?
How standard CA client will send to log server? Or it is special CA
application?

I also see that String or waveform record types can be used.
String has restriction 40 symbols(?). CA queue has restriction too
(10-20 in the queue ?).
Waveform queue is 1.

==========
Any,

I was absent couple days. I will re-read all messages. I like George's
approach with list. Maybe he or Matthias can collect variants in Wiki? I
will write some variants for items in George's list. 

At last, I see that Bob wrote very interesting notice about archive :) 

Have a great weekend, Andrei.

Actually it wouldn't even need to do that itself if its job is just to 
pass the alarm changes on to the log server -- CA will automatically 
queue and cache the most changes for every channel on the clients 
behalf, until it finally manages to deliver them to the client.
