Hej,

The IOC does not use autosave yet,
and the fact that the variables are UNDEFINED is probably a distraction from
the real problem.

I can move the motor, and the e.g. IOC:m1.RBV goes away from UNDEFINED; but
CSS does never take away the pink Disconnected.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the motor record.

I will put that aside that for a moment, in case somebody is interested:
https://github.com/tboegi/cashark/commit/b367eeb6ab3861379ab558f512175ed13e9d56af

Thanks for help.

Hi Torsten,

I suspect you would be wasting your time using Wireshark to investigate this, so far I don't think you've shown us any evidence that can't be explained as an issue with or a misunderstanding of what's going on inside the IOC itself, which has little or nothing to do with the CA protocol and what goes over the network. The command-line tools caget, caput and camonitor and the iocsh commands dbpr, dbgf and dbpf are probably all you need to investigate what's happening inside the IOC.

Database records start off with an <undefined> or zero time stamp until they have been processed at least once, so you need to understand the database design and how the records are supposed to get processed. The motor record is probably the most complex type we have, so having an understanding of how it behaves and when it sets its time stamp is probably very important. If you should exhaust the subject of the record support, is your 3.14.12 IOC using autosave perhaps? If so it might be that the 3.15 version of that isn't behaving the same.
