iocStats errors about undefined environment variables

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

Folks,

 

I am using the master branch of iocStats and the master branch of EPICS base (commit 5a1f3ecc8b9d97a5fa4f3a981651b4614fc7217f).

 

In my startup script I have this line:

dbLoadRecords("/corvette/home/epics/support/devIocStats-3-1-16/db/iocAdminSoft.db","IOC=13IDC:")

 

When my IOC boots I get the following errors:

 

recGblRecordError: devStringinEpics (init_record) INP field is not an EPICS env var Illegal field value PV: 13IDC::TIMEZONE

recGblRecordError: devStringinEpics (init_record) INP field is not an EPICS env var Illegal field value PV: 13IDC::PVA_ADDR_LIST

recGblRecordError: devStringinEpics (init_record) INP field is not an EPICS env var Illegal field value PV: 13IDC::PVAS_SERVER_PORT

 

I know how to fix the TIMEZONE error, with this patch:

 

diff --git a/iocAdmin/Db/epicsEnvVars.substitutions b/iocAdmin/Db/epicsEnvVars.substitutions

However, I don’t understand the PVA and PVAS error messages.   If I do epicsPrtEnvParams those environment variables are indeed not defined:

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem in iocStats?

 

Thanks,
