Detailed Description

Various settings that configure how a DDS_DataWriter allocates and uses physical memory for internal resources.

DataWriters must allocate internal structures to handle the simultaneously blocking of threads trying to call FooDataWriter_write on the same DDS_DataWriter, for the storage used to batch small samples, and for content-based filters specified by DataReaders.

Most of these internal structures start at an initial size and, by default, will be grown as needed by dynamically allocating additional memory. You may set fixed, maximum sizes for these internal structures if you want to bound the amount of memory that can be used by a DDS_DataWriter. By setting the initial size to the maximum size, you will prevent RTI Connext from dynamically allocating any memory after the creation of the DDS_DataWriter.

This QoS policy is an extension to the DDS standard.

Field Documentation

DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::initial_concurrent_blocking_threads

The initial number of threads that are allowed to concurrently block on write call on the same DDS_DataWriter.

This value only applies if DDS_HistoryQosPolicy has its kind set to DDS_KEEP_ALL_HISTORY_QOS and DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::max_blocking_time is > 0.

[default] 1

[range] [1, 10000], <= max_concurrent_blocking_threads

DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_concurrent_blocking_threads

The maximum number of threads that are allowed to concurrently block on write call on the same DDS_DataWriter.

This value only applies if DDS_HistoryQosPolicy has its kind set to DDS_KEEP_ALL_HISTORY_QOS and DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::max_blocking_time is > 0.

[default] DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

[range] [1, 10000] or DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED, >= initial_concurrent_blocking_threads

DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_remote_reader_filters

The maximum number of remote DataReaders for which the DDS_DataWriter will perform content-based filtering.

[default] 32

[range] [0, (2^31)-2] or DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED.

0: The DDS_DataWriter will not perform filtering for any DDS_DataReader.

1 to (2^31)-2: The DataWriter will filter for up to the specified number of DataReaders. In addition, the Datawriter will store the result of the filtering per sample per DataReader.

DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED: The DataWriter will filter for up to (2^31)-2 DataReaders. However, in this case, the DataWriter will not store the filtering result per sample per DataReader. Thus, if a sample is resent (such as due to a loss of reliable communication), the sample will be filtered again.

DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::initial_batches

Represents the initial number of batches a DDS_DataWriter will manage.

[default] 8

[range] [1,100 million]

See Also
DDS_BatchQosPolicy
DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_batches

Represents the maximum number of batches a DDS_DataWriter will manage.

[default] DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

When batching is enabled, the maximum number of samples that a DDS_DataWriter can store is limited by this value and DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples.

[range] [1,100 million] or DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED >= DDS_RtpsReliableWriterProtocol_t::heartbeats_per_max_samples if batching is enabled

See Also
DDS_BatchQosPolicy
DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsInstanceReplacementKind DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::instance_replacement

Sets the kinds of instances allowed to be replaced when instance resource limits are reached.

When a DDS_DataWriter's number of active instances is greater than DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances, it will try to make room by replacing an existing instance. This field specifies the kinds of instances allowed to be replaced.

If a replaceable instance is not available, either an out-of-resources exception will be returned, or the writer may block if the instance reclamation was done when writing.

[default] DDS_UNREGISTERED_INSTANCE_REPLACEMENT

See Also
DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsInstanceReplacementKind
DDS_Boolean DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::replace_empty_instances

Whether or not to replace empty instances during instance replacement.

When a DDS_DataWriter has more active instances than allowed by DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances, it tries to make room by replacing an existing instance. This field configures whether empty instances (i.e. instances with no samples) may be replaced. If set DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE, then a DDS_DataWriter will first try reclaiming empty instances, before trying to replace whatever is specified by DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::instance_replacement.

[default] DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See Also
DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsInstanceReplacementKind
DDS_Boolean DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::autoregister_instances

Whether or not to automatically register new instances.

[default] DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE

When set to true, it is possible to write with a non-NIL handle of an instance that is not registered: the write operation will succeed and the instance will be registered. Otherwise, that write operation would fail.

FooDataWriter_write
DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::initial_virtual_writers

The initial number of virtual writers supported by a DDS_DataWriter.

[default] 1

[range] [1, 1000000], or DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_virtual_writers

The maximum number of virtual writers supported by a DDS_DataWriter.

Sets the maximum number of unique virtual writers supported by a DDS_DataWriter, where virtual writers are added when samples are written with the virtual writer GUID.

This field is specially relevant in the configuration of Persistence Service DataWriters since these DataWriters will publish samples on behalf of multiple virtual writers.

[default] DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

[range] [1, 1000000], or DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_remote_readers

The maximum number of remote readers supported by a DDS_DataWriter.

[default] DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

[range] [1, 1000000], or DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

DDS_Long DDS_DataWriterResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_app_ack_remote_readers

The maximum number of application-level acknowledging remote readers supported by a DDS_DataWriter.

[default] DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED

[range] [1, 1000000], or DDS_LENGTH_UNLIMITED
