Depending on your specific requirements, and given your smallish number

of PVs to archive, it may serve your purpose to simply use the camonitor

commandline tool to collect PV monitors and redirect those to a file. It

is possible to massage the output into a format more suitable for

plotting or other post-processing fairly easily. I use a simple Perl

script to do this quite often when monitoring PVs for my own diagnostics

or development purposes.

This requires very little effort or resources, especially if this for a

less formal or non-production setup, which it sounds like may be your

situation.

Dear Emmanuel,

Thanks for your quick reply. We have around 30 PVs to be archived. We
have installed the utility you mentioned but we found that it requires
an active web access. Since we have our systems in local network we
can't keep it constantly connected to internet.
Can you please guide us how can we archive the PVs in locally connected
systems.

Regards,
Himanshu

    Otherwise, use my favourite:
    http://epicsarchiverap.sourceforge.net/quickstart.html
    The latter is used in production at SLAC and is still actively
    developed (contact Murali Shankar at mshankar AT slac DOT stanford
    DOT edu ).
    Additional to the online documentation, I can send you my
    installation note.

    How many PVs do you have on your 3 machines?

    Hi all,

    We have a set up consisting of 3 machines, one labview RT acting as
    a epics server, one windows based labview PC and one epics based PC
    on RHEL 6.3.
    We have established communication between the 3 machines. The PVs
    deployed in RT could be displayed in CSS in epics PC. We wanted to
    archive these PVs in EPICS PC.
    Can anyone help us in this regard as to how can we archive these PVs?

      Regards,

    Himanshu
