Automatically populating the Archive Appliance

["Cobb, Tom \(DLSLtd,RAL,LSCI\) via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi all,

We're considering how to do archiving in the future and would like to see what others are doing. We have a couple of goals we would like to achieve:

1. Automatically archive all the scalar PVs that appear on a screen
   
2. Have a "time travelling" view for our OPI screens that allow us to step back in time and view historical data instead of live PVs

It occurred to us that 1. could be achieved by adding info tags to any records that would appear on a screen, then something in the reccaster/recreceiver/channelfinder stack could update the archiver appliance. Has anyone done this or something similar that updates the archiver appliance automatically when an IOC boots?

We also wondered if anyone had implemented something like 2. for any display manager?

Thanks,

Tom
