Hello, Michael!
 
CA woks. I've tested softIocPVA and that is what happened:

As far as I understand address 127.255.255.255:5076 is right to broadcast. But in my other OS and in your example IP is defined (e.g. 192.168.18.190). Problems is able to receive message due to network setting?

 Hi all!
  
 Im writting cpp program to drive a power supply. Use pv Access for connection. Also I created an IOC using makeBaseApp.pl on my Kubuntu and created bd for testing. And all is well. But using other OS whit IOC I found that my program is not working. pvget isnt working too. I was able tofind information on the need to use qsrv:
 myioc_LIBS += qsrv
 myioc_LIBS += pvAccessIOC
 myioc_DBD += PVASeerverRegister.dbd
 myioc_DBD += qsrv.dbd
  
 executing pvasr on other OS:
 EPICS_PVAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST = 0.0.0.0:5075
 EPICS_PVAS_BEACON_ADDR_LIST = 127.255.255.255
 EPICS_PVAS_AUTO_BEACON_ADDR_LIST = NO
 ....


This looks correct.
 

 And pvget or pvput is not working anyway. I used pva2pva (QSRV / pvAccess Gateway) to know about qsrc. What documants shout I pay attention to? What should I fix to keep it working? I would like to use several IOCs, do I need to configure my addresses go them for correct operation?


Can you test with the softIocPVA executable and a simple database?
This should confirm if this is a network issue.

Also, can you confirm that caget also works?

 

 cat <<EOF > tick.db
 record(calc, "$(P=)cnt") {
   field(INPA, "$(P=)cnt")
   field(CALC, "A+1")
   field(SCAN, "1 second")
 }
 EOF


 

 $ softIocPVA -d tick.db
 ...


 

 $ pvget -d cnt
