Hello Kay,

BTW, EDM, also starts PVs by first fetching the metadata.
For historic reasons it does that with only 1 array element because otherwise there were problems with either the CA client or CA server, don't remember.

That was detected as a deficiency of the PCAS/gdd server code, about 16 years ago: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2000/msg00662.php
I don't think it was ever formally reported as a bug, though.

Nowadays (since ~5 years ago), clients should create a subscription with the DBE_PROPERTY flag and get notified about metadata changes.

Cheers,
