Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Apologies for the delay; I just got back from a break.
As Michael said, if you use the default policies file, the appliance will open multiple camonitors for each PV. This is determined in the policies.py and depends on the RTYP of the PV. For example, for "ao" fields, we'd establish all of these
elif pvRTYP=="ao":
archiveFields=['HIHI','HIGH','LOW','LOLO','LOPR','HOPR','DRVH','DRVL']
...
pvPolicyDict["archiveFields"]=archiveFields
In addition, we'll also establish a connection for the DESC field on behalf of the viewer.
You can control all of these from using a custom policies.py file (use the environment variable ARCHAPPL_POLICIES to point to your new policy file). If you want to eliminate the DESC camonitor as well, you can do so in the archappl.properties file.
There is support for using DBE_PROPERTIES; this has been tested but you'd be the first to use in a production environment. Please let me know if you are willing to do this; I can help you thru the process. For this, I think you'd need all your IOC's to be on 3.15 or later. This will reduce your connections to 3 (one for the .VAL, one for the all the fields in a DBR_CTRL and the third for the DESC).
Hope that helps. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
Regards,
Murali

For each user provided PV name, Archive Appliance can (and by default
does) subscribe to several related PVs. This is determined in the
policy hook script.
By default it will try to subscribe to additional PVs by appending .EGU
.HIGH and others to the user provided PV name.
This is where your addition channels come in.
I'm not sure what the state of DBE_PROPERTY support is in AA. This
would help to reduce, but not eliminate, the number of extra channels
needed to also archive this meta-data.
