Not sure about a more elegant solution, but what I’ve done to trigger processing of records at a certain time, for example “10 seconds after midnight” on each day was using a sequence. In C code you can get the current time of day in the local time zone, and determine how long you’d have to sleep until some specific time. A sequence can ‘delay()’ that long and then write to some PV which triggers what you want to happen, or post an EPICS event and then have records process on the event.
You can also call similar C code from a subroutine record, but there you can’t sleep/delay. Instead, periodically process the subroutine record which for example returns how many more seconds are left to the next threshold timestamp and use that in a calcout record to trigger processing when the time comes.
On the archive side, just archive the PVs that you want to save on “monitor” since they only send a monitor at that certain time stamp.

Having the IOC read from the DB on startup would be tricky.
I’d use autosave/restore to keep the most recent value of your integrating record.
So the IOC doesn’t read from the DB, it just counts back up with the last value it placed in the autosave file.
