Eric,

In our local copy of streams, we've added a 'protocols' directory, but I

don't think anyone's ever

used it. I think most people put protocol files in the same directory

as the first database that used them.

You can set the STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH to anything in your cdCommands or

envPaths

file with, for example:
epicsEnvSet("STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH","$(TOP)")

If this doesn't get you to the required directory, you could supplement

with a fixed path from there:

epicsEnvSet("STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH","$(TOP)/abc/def")

Hello,

We are just getting started with StreamDevice and were curious to know

where other sites put their protocol files so that they can be

referenced by the IOCs that want them. Do you "install" them from

shared apps (like DBD's or scripts)? Is there an easy (or automatic)

way to set the STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH environment variable based on the

definitions in the configure/RELEASE file? What is the current state

of the art in protocol file maintenance?

Thanks in advance,

-Eric Bj.
