Subject: CA link behavior

Hi,

I have a passive stringout record in IOC A whose OUTLINK references an mbbo record in IOC B. When I reboot IOC B the value in the stringout record is written to the mbbo record even though the stringout record has not been processed.

A bit more background. The stringout record will be processed by a calc record when a temperature becomes too high. The mbbo record controls the power to a front end board. So the value being written is to power off the front end board whenever the IOC B is rebooted. This is not an optimal situation.

I searched through the CA documentation, record reference manual, and Developer's Guide but found no description of this behavior. Before I start searching through the source code I was wondering if this the expected behavior?

Thanks,  Geoff
