RDB Archiver

RDB Archiver is the new new version of the EPICS Channel Archiver which was widely used by the EPICS community. Channel Archiver kept the history in data file and had some kind of indexing scheme. The new RDB Archiver is a part of the Controls System Studio (CSS) and, as the name suggests, it utilizes databases to keep the archive engine configurations and the archived values. RDB Archiver can be used with both MySQL and Oracle (and probably others as well). Folks at ANL tested the RDB Archiver archiver with MySQL and I followed their example, and below you can find what I observed.

  • To create CSS products one needs to have Eclipse RCP which I downloaded from Eclipse download page (version 3.7.0 Indigo) and installed in /usr/local/eclipse/indigo-3.7.0-rcp on my local machines.
  • As CSS sources I used the SNS snapshot 3.0.2 posted on the SNS products web page. I unzipped the file and put it in ~/sns/source directory on my local computers.
  • One also need MySQL server which is included in Linux distributions.
