A thread in TechTalk titled "Listing channels” by David Dudley dated May
06, 2008 and responces may also help you.
In these responces, I reporeted my device support for waveform record:
devWfDbRecfection
1. A device support for waveform record. It get a list of record
types/fields of specified record/name of reocrds from EPICS DB using
dbStaticLib.
2.Now Supports CHAR and UCHAR as FTVL. It returns comma separated
list of informaiont as char array.(2009.3.20)
and tar.gz file is available at:
http://www-acc.kek.jp/EPICS_Gr/products/Records/DbReflectionApp.tgz
To achieve your goal, you need to install records using this device
support in ALL IOCs you have.
Alternatively,
You can use dbDumpRecord and dbDumpRecorType commands,or just "dbl", in
iocsh to dump those information to a file. Again you need to add these
command(s) in every st.cmds in your system.
If you can safely assume you know the location of all start-up command
files of running IOC, a PV Crawler can find all records in your system.
In this case, we also assume that database files used in the start up
commands have not changed since last reboot of IOCSH.
Anyway, It is interesting that this kind of question raised several
times in TechTalk, and several different solutions were shown. Doesn't
it means we need to do something in the Collaboration, "provide FAQ on
this subject" or "Define new protocol
to retrieve these information" for examples?
