Subject: dbLoadRecords and substitute

Hello,

I'm looking at updating our IOC build workflow (using containers) and would like to adopt the APS approach of doing database macro substitution at runtime in the IOC startup script. e.g.

    dbLoadRecords("pmacStatus.template", "PORT=BRICK1, P=BL45P-MO-STEP-01")

However I have discovered that a number of our database templates use the 'substitute' keyword. This is not supported by dbLoadRecords. 

In our existing workflow we expand templates with make at IOC build time, this uses MSI which does support 'substitute'.

Can anyone suggest a workaround for this?

Is this mismatch between MSI and base intentional?
 
Thanks,
giles
