Get all instances in history for late joining subscribers

I am trying to write a writer and reader

where the writer application starts writing before the reader registers

i want the reader to get all of the instances that were written by the writer

in the writer, i registered all of the instances without unregistering

I am using:

TRANSIENT_LOCAL_DURABILITY_QOS

RELIABLE_RELIABILITY_QOS

KEEP_ALL_HISTORY_QOS

<max_samples>LENGTH_UNLIMITED</max_samples>
<max_instances>LENGTH_UNLIMITED</max_instances>

 

i put this both in the writer and reader

 

but i get only the instances that were written after the reader subscribed

i tried to understand what is going with verbose but it gave me no information 

how can this be done

What you are doing should work. If it doesn't work, then chances are that the applications are not actually using these QoS settings. I suggest using AdminConsole to verify the QoS of the applications after you start them.

Hi, 

Apart from making sure that the XML is parsed, are you loading the profile when creating the DataReader/DataWriter? You can use this API: https://community.rti.com/static/documentation/connext-dds/6.1.0/doc/api/connext_dds/api_cpp/classDDSDomainParticipant.html#a1dfc973d55df91133acf38dae69963ad

And the equivalent for DataWriters :)
Best regards,
Sara

Making sure that the XML is being loaded is a necessary but not sufficient condition....

You should also make sure that the QoS Profile is actually being used to create your DDS Entities.  I suggest using the create_xxx_with_profile() versions of the create methods to create DataWriters/DataReaders with specific profiles.  In that way, you know that it was created with a specific profile...and if the profile wasn't defined (because it wasn't loaded), you'll know that right away.
