Project Description and Status
The Channel Archiver stores data in custom data and index files which were optimized for speed. On the downside, the long-term maintenance of the data could be difficult because the toolset did not compare to for example a full-blown relational database.
This is the Source-Forge location of the Channel Archiver to which the sources moved in August 2010 because the original maintainers of the sources had migrated their archiving system to a setup based on a relational database for data storage, see https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cs-studio/wiki/RDBArchive
The Source-Forge repository opens the sources which were previously held at the ORNL SNS to those in the EPICS collaboration who continue to use and extend the file-based Channel Archiver.
When changing the sources, please remember to update these files:
- make.cfg - Define the new version number
- manual/changes.tex - Describe the new version (or read about differences in previous versions)
- ArchiveDaemon.pl - The version number in here tended to track the version number in make.cgf
