portable ca server message is confusing

[Jeff Hill]

The following message from Dirk is correct; the message from the portable ca server message is confusing. What the gateway is doing to cause this situation is the root problem, but that needs to be registered a s a bug against the ca gateway.

Sometime I see in the CA gateway log file entries like this:

filename="../../../../src/cas/generic/casPVI.cc" line number=251
Bad data type application type "enums" string conversion table for
enumerated PV isnt a string type?

Can anyone tell me what this means? Unfortunately it does not print any
context like PV name or involved enum strings. So the problem is quite
hard to debug.

The message comes from
void casPVI::updateEnumStringTableAsyncCompletion(const gdd & resp)

I suspect this may happen when the enum string set has been modified on
the IOC while the channel is connected though the gateway.

CA Gateway now has DBE_PROPERTIES support and unit tests for it, so enum string handling has been fixed at the root.
