Re: EPICS Records at Runtime

Hi Jalal,

I believe you are free to register code that runs before iocInit that calls dbLoadRecords (see IOC hooks registration [1]).

I don't know if that can be done after iocInit, probably not?

Hi all!

We have quite "dynamic" configuration files for EPICS i.e. records can change very often (new records, change in the unit of measurement, ...).

Is there a way to load a new database record file after `iocInit` without restarting the IOC? or even adding records at runtime?

Best,

Jalal
