Dear Han:
I met a problem when I tried to install AA on Rocky Linux, the following is the shell display:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

git switch -c

Or undo this operation with:

git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

hi, jeonghanlee:
i want to try some other databases(such as influxdb, mongodb...) to save the history datas of PVs instead of Mariadb, but i do not know whether there are some APIs or configures in order to change the path of history data of PVs, could you help me?

Tomcat service itself is not necessary to run the archiver appliance. It should be better to remove the instruction in README.

After everything runs well, one can do

systemctl stop tomcat{9}
systemctl disable tomcat{9}

where {9} is required for Debian 10.

Will this work on windows 10 platform?

hi @jeonghanlee ,
As the figure show, "404 not found" occur when i clicked the button "quick chart" in order to show the history data of a PV, i think perhaps that i don't have the software "archViewer"? or some problems of Tomcat? I'm not sure if this is a problem with the environment configuration, but my other features work well, could you help me to check the problem.
looking forward to your reply and thanks a lot

Dear @jeonghanlee,

On a debian 11 variant during the "make build", I receive the following errors:
... [javadoc] error: An internal exception has occurred. [javadoc] (java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: docs/api/mgmtpathmappings.txt (No such file or directory)) ...
Do you have any idea what can be the cause?

Thank you in advance,
Filip

Hi,

Thank you for the archiver config environment, it was straightforward to get an instance of the archiver running on a fresh install.

OS: Debain 11 kernel 5.10.162-1 (2023-01-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ver: EPICS Archiver Appliance Version d3dd9cc-2022-08-08-als_SNAPSHOT_03-February-2023T12-03-32

I was able to archive pvs, however when I restart the PC the archiver service runs but all pvs are in a disconnected state as shown below:

Running sudo systemctl status epicsarchiverap.service everything looks okay to me:

If I simply sudo systemctl restart epicsarchiverap.service - service restarts and all pvs are in a connected state.

Not sure if there is some configuration issue on my machine or any other suggestions I could look into.

Systemd service works after rebooting machine, but somehow, one cannot access its site due to the mariadb service is not ready. Thus, it is better to add the service dependency on the systemd service.

hi, @jeonghanlee
I met a question about tomcat9, my appliance can work for hours, but it seems not stable...when i restart the epicsAA service, it tell s me that "I/O error" of tomcat as the figure shows. I think perhaps that i archived too many waveform PVs and data flow is too large leading to this problem?
could you give me some recommendation. thanks a lot.

Where I was stuck:

make install.pkgs
Log shows that it stop by system check or something.

The solution I can think of
Identify Rocky Linux as CentOS 8 to share the same instruction code.

Tomcat 9 was moved the latest one, so it is better to migrate the MariaDB_Connector_J to the latest one.
