Hi Elliot,

In BNL, we plan to upgrade the current EPICS Channel Archiver
based on a few new ideas and technologies. You can learn about 
technical details from the report "Prototyping the Next EPICS 
Archiver", presented at the recent EPICS collaboration meeting. 
The development will be done incrementally. The first shot is 
expected in January-February, 2012. 

Certainly, we are open for any comments and suggestions ...

-Nikolay

Subject: Latest on archiving EPICS data

Hi,

I'm a bit confused as to what's the latest status concerning packages 
that archive EPICS PV data.  A quick Google search leads to out-of-date 
papers and talks, obsolete/superceded SourceForge repositories, etc.  
We're just now beginning development of the control system for the Hall 
D project at Jefferson Lab, so we have no legacy constraints.

What are the latest-and-greatest archivers, and where do I find them?  I

have a bias towards Java and MySQL/Postgres, but this is not critical.  
Also, what is in production use at the SNS, and what does ITER plan to
use?

Thanks,

--

					Elliott
