Hello All,

I have started to build the epics archiver appliance following Hans repo at https://github.com/jeonghanlee/epicsarchiverap-env.  Everything seems to be working great with the application and I am able to access the archiver web application just fine.  I start up a basic softIoc with a couple PVs and my pyDM widget is able to control and access them just fine but I cannot get them to be archived by the appliance.  I can also use caget/camonitor/caput without any issue to manipulate the softIoc.   I saw another post about checking the ports in the appliances.xml but that seems to be correct from what I can tell.  I tried to look through the logs in /opt/epicsarchiverap/engine mgmt etl retrieval but I didnt see any errors that stood out.  I am not sure if its a connection issue with the ca and the archiver or a record thing I am missing but any advice would be helpful.  I have tried using ca://calc:a , calc:a but no luck getting it to archive.

appliances.xml
