Hi Carl,

I think the problem started with 3.14.8. When you try again, you will see that

sometimes the host name is there and sometimes not. I think the CA library is a

bit impatient with the name server. Maybe Jeff can have a look at some timeout.

Hi,

I ran cainfo for a PV but did not get a result for host:

[schumann@smartcon1 ~]$ caget PD_MOD1:tstable
PD_MOD1:tstable                /tmp/table_data.15901.dat
[schumann@smartcon1 ~]$ cainfo PD_MOD1:tstable
PD_MOD1:tstable
    State:         connected
    Host:              Access:        read, write
    Data type:     DBR_STRING (native: DBF_STRING)
    Element count: 1
[schumann@smartcon1 ~]$

Since the caget is working there would it appears have to be a host of

some sort. Is there an explanation for the blank host field? Attempts

to find an explanation at the ANL web site were unsuccessful.

Thanks,
Carl
