Hello,

Does anyone have a naming service for EPICS that allows querys of all PV
names, build time and currently active?
I would like to be able to browse all channels in the system, and see
whether they are active on an IOC, designated as a channel in my system but
not currently running, or present on an IOC but unknown (hopefully not).

Hi,
at the SLS we upload the channels at boot time from the IOC to an oracle table. This is done by a perl script running on the boot pc started by the ioc using rsh, reading a file generated before by the IOC using the dbl command. Not quite the portability you would like to have for epics 3.14 applications: you need to save a file from the IOC and you need to have an rsh mechanism.

Anyway, if you're interested, have a look at:

http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Activities/EPICS/Thursday_PM/ChannelManagement2002.ppt

I can send you a zip with all the scripts and some documentation,
if you think it is worth looking into it.

If not, are there any thoughts regarding standard directory services
interfaces (COS naming, LDAP) etc. that would be acceptable to the
community. I realise that this has been an issue for some time.

If you want to make a proposal I would really like to read it :-)

Kind Regards
Andreas
