Hello Patrick,
there is no way to have the IOC return a complete list of its PVs
through Channel Access.
Actually, that doesn't really sound reasonable, as:
- For CA, every field of every record is a separate PV, so you are
speaking of a *long* list of PVs even for a single IOC.
- Some special CA servers (i.e. gateways to other networks) may
serve millions of PVs - that would be a *very long* list.
- Gateways usually don't know the PVs they are serving, as they
find out by querying a channel on demand - so that would always be an
*incomplete* list.
(Compare this to asking your IP default gateway which IPs it would be
able to connect to.)
The closest you can get is an off-line list of all records of the IOCs
you have control over.
If you have all your IOCs st.cmd files at the end of startup dump the
output of the "dbl" command to a file (preferably named after the IOC),
you have a nice collection of record names that you can grep or list.
The file dates will give you a hint when the IOC was rebooted. (That is
the method the CA nameserver uses to preload its cache of records names
and their IOCs.)
If you run an RDB based model of your installation (like IRMIS), that
RDB would have the information - either because its crawler processes
read and analyze the st.cmd scripts and db files the IOC loads (as
Debby pointed out), or because all the information is already in the
RDB as you use it to create your db files and st.cmd scripts.
Hope this helps,
Ralph

Hi,
I was wondering if there was anyway to get a list of all the process
variables currently loaded in all the IOCs. I read that when a request
for a particular process variable is made, each IOC gets the request
and has to look in its databases to see if it contains it. Is it
possible to instead have it return all the process variables it does
have?
I was also wondering if anyone has had trouble getting the sound to
work when compiling the alarm handler on Linux?
Thank you,
Patrick
