Hi Bruno, Michael and Everyone,

We have collected the epics PV list with record types as the followings.
It is very useful for high-level applications and tools to handle the PV properly.

(example: ) collecting PV list with record type

# Dump a list of all PVs to a file on the Boot Server:
# The pvs name will be written to a file along with its record type.
# The location on the boot server follows:
# ${IOC_DATA}/${IOC}/iocInfo
iocshCmd("dbl '' RTYP > ${IOC_DATA}/${IOC}/iocInfo/IOC.pvlist")

The complement to "dbl" in QSRV is "dbgl" to list the group names.

$ cd pva2pva/iocBoot/iocimagedemo/
$ ./st.cmd

...

epics> dbgl
TST:enum1:ENUM
TST:image1:Array
TST:table1Tbl

Some details can be printed, though probably not in a form which will
be immediately useful to you.

epics> dbgl 5 TST:table1Tbl
TST:table1Tbl
  Atomic Get/Put:yes Monitor:yes Members:5
  /     <-> TST:table1B.VAL
  labels        <-> TST:table1Labels_.VAL
  value.A       <-> TST:table1A.VAL
  value.B       <-> TST:table1B.VAL
  _save <-> TST:table1Save.VAL

Of course both single and group PVs are included in the list which
can be queried remotely by "pvlist".

I am wondering, do we have equivalent support for the epics 7 PVs?
We would like to get epics 7 PV list with the normative type information.
If we can get the support for both: old PVA and new PVXS, it will be great.

Please, give me your advice.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Kukhee
