Re: PVA custom structs

[Sky Brewer via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Heinz,

As other have mentioned for custom structs the Archiver expects:

NTScalar

where the value field is a structure. In particular timeStamp structure (including userTag) and alarms structure.  This is probably not well documented...

Maybe this is a type to add to the normative types documentation? NTStructure? Which actually could supersum NTScalar, NTScalarArray, NTEnum?

Note to retrieve the json api does unpack the data and return a sort of standard json output. I would like to upstream that from the Archiver Appliance to core-pva.

Hope that helps,

Sky
