Subject: Channel Access client sees only partial update.

Hello,

I'am quite new to Epics and ran into an issue where I could use a hint
how to solve it:

I have an IOC driver based on the area detector driver that should be
extended for the transfer of a large data set from another source.

So I setup a Record for it like this:
record(waveform, "$(P)$(R)Data")
{
    field(PINI, "0")
    field(DTYP, "asynInt8ArrayIn")
    field(INP,  "@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))DATA")
    field(FTVL, "CHAR")
    field(NELM, "$(SIZE_DATA_BLOCK)")
    field(SCAN, "I/O Intr")
}

In the main thread of the IOC I split the large data set into smaller
blocks and have a loop that calls

doCallbacksInt8Array(blockPtr , block_size, Data, 0);

for each block to transfer the blocks to the data base.

In a second process a channel access client is subscribed with
ca_create_subscription to 'DATA'.

The issue is that the client receives only the last block from each loop
of the IOC driver thread.

I guess I have to wait somehow until the database processing has
finished after each block?!?

Best regards,
Michael Huth
