Specifies and configures the mechanism that allows dds::sub::DataReader's to detect when dds::pub::DataWriter's become disconnected.
Liveliness must be asserted at least once every dds::core::policy::Liveliness::lease_duration
otherwise RTI Connext will assume the corresponding dds::core::Entity or is no longer alive.
The liveliness status of a dds::core::Entity is used to maintain instance ownership in combination with the setting of the OWNERSHIP policy. The application is also informed via Listener when an dds::core::Entity is no longer alive.
A dds::sub::DataReader requests that liveliness of writers is maintained by the requested means and loss of liveliness is detected with delay not to exceed the dds::core::policy::Liveliness::lease_duration
.
A dds::pub::DataWriter commits to signalling its liveliness using the stated means at intervals not to exceed the dds::core::policy::Liveliness::lease_duration
. The rate at which the dds::pub::DataWriter will signal its liveliness is defined by dds::core::policy::Liveliness::assertions_per_lease_duration.
Listeners are used to notify a dds::sub::DataReader of loss of liveliness and dds::pub::DataWriter of violations to the liveliness contract. The on_liveliness_lost() callback is only called once, after the first time the dds::core::policy::Liveliness::lease_duration
is exceeded (when the dds::pub::DataWriter first loses liveliness).
This QoS policy can be used during system integration to ensure that applications have been coded to meet design specifications. It can also be used during run time to detect when systems are performing outside of design specifications. Receiving applications can take appropriate actions in response to disconnected DataWriters.
This policy controls the mechanism and parameters used by RTI Connext to ensure that particular entities on the network are still alive. The liveliness can also affect the ownership of a particular instance, as determined by the OWNERSHIP policy.
This policy has several settings to support both data types that are updated periodically as well as those that are changed sporadically. It also allows customisation for different application requirements in terms of the kinds of failures that will be detected by the liveliness mechanism.
The dds::core::policy::LivelinessKind::AUTOMATIC liveliness setting is most appropriate for applications that only need to detect failures at the process-level, but not application-logic failures within a process. RTI Connext takes responsibility for renewing the leases at the required rates and thus, as long as the local process where a dds::domain::DomainParticipant is running and the link connecting it to remote participants remains connected, the entities within the dds::domain::DomainParticipant will be considered alive. This requires the lowest overhead.
The manual settings (dds::core::policy::LivelinessKind::MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT, dds::core::policy::LivelinessKind::MANUAL_BY_TOPIC) require the application on the publishing side to periodically assert the liveliness before the lease expires to indicate the corresponding dds::core::Entity is still alive. The action can be explicit by calling the dds::pub::DataWriter::assert_liveliness operation or implicit by writing some data.
The two possible manual settings control the granularity at which the application must assert liveliness.
Changes in LIVELINESS must be detected by the Service with a time-granularity greater or equal to the dds::core::policy::Liveliness::lease_duration
. This ensures that the value of the dds::core::status::LivelinessChangedStatus is updated at least once during each dds::core::policy::Liveliness::lease_duration
and the related Listeners and dds::core::cond::WaitSet s are notified within a dds::core::policy::Liveliness::lease_duration
from the time the LIVELINESS changed.
The value offered is considered compatible with the value requested if and only if the following conditions are met:
lease_duration
<= requested lease_duration
evaluates to true.
