Adding a PV to archiver appl, missing something...

[astrid morreale via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hello everyone,

I have yet another naive question as I am just starting (from zero) using EPICS and Archiver appl.

I have EPICS running and I am "ca monitoring" some PV's which are being populated---> all ok with ca monitoring I see that the PV's are changing value as I expected.

astrid@localhost epics-base]$camonitor myPV

myPV                           2020-07-23 16:44:41.905899 0

I open my archiver browser and I try to add my PV and I do not see anything happen (the PV is there but seems like a ghost).

I suspect I am missing some fundamental setting and archiver is just getting ready to connect to the PV.

"myPV

Appliance assigned

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A"

some added info:

my archiverappl link is http://10.0.0.78:17665/mgmt/ui/index.html

my env variable in bash is set to

EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=localhost

export EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST

my epics base directory looks like this:

[astrid@localhost epics-base]$ ls

R3.15.5/ bin/ etc....

where my softIoc is under

epics-base/bin/linux-x86_64/softIoc

and R3.15.5 is the automatic epics installation done by archiver (following the slacmshankar/ archiver instructions online)

(I use Linux)

thanks a lot in advance.

Astrid
