Re: [EXTERNAL] Alarm Server and archiveEngine

>source base of Phoebus. But our client PCs is running CSS 4.5.9. If I do 

it, could there be conflict between Database Server and Clients? Or
else, should I install Phoebus to clients? So, I'm wondering that if we
jump to Phoebus on clients, could there be unexpected problems on opis?

The original Eclipse-based CS-Studio and the Phoebus version are 100% compatible regarding archived data.

Same RDB schema.

For displays, there is also a high degree of compatibility, see https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/wiki/Display-Builder-Compatibility

> Is there an any documentation for built Alarm Server and/or 

Archive Engine with Apache Kafka, JMS, Phoebus and etc. tools?

For alarms, you can export/import the configuration, but the tools are not compatible at runtime because we moved from RDB+JMS to Kafka.

For setup, see https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/tree/master/app/alarm
