Question about retrieve history data in archiver appliance

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

Hi,

I intend to retrieve history data of some PV without running the IOC (offline), is it possible to implement that in archiver appliance.

I have tried to do that, but after successfully launching the web page of archiver appliance, when fill in the PV name in the blank and press enter, no chart is available. I also configure CSS to retrieve the hisrory data, although the data base can be connected by CSS, no available PV name can be selected to draw the history data.

I have no idea how to retrieve the history data of some PV without running the IOC (offline) in archiver appliance and is it possible.

Any help will be appreciated and thank you very much.
