Scripting
The archiver appliance comes with a web UI that has support for various business processes like adding PV’s to the archivers etc. The web UI communicates with the server principally using JSON/HTTP web service calls. The same web service calls are also available for use from external scripting tools like Python.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import requests
resp = requests.get("http://archappl.slac.stanford.edu/mgmt/bpl/getAllPVs?pv=VPIO:IN20:111:VRA*")
print("\n".join(resp.json()))
