Detailed Description

Configures the mechanism that sends user data in an external middleware thread.

Specifies the asynchronous publishing and asynchronous batch flushing settings of the DDS::Publisher instances.

The QoS policy specifies whether asynchronous publishing and asynchronous batch flushing are enabled for the DDS::DataWriter entities belonging to this DDS::Publisher. If so, the publisher will spawn up to two threads, one for asynchronous publishing and one for asynchronous batch flushing.

DDS::Publisher

Properties:

RxO = N/A

Changeable = NO

Usage

You can use this QoS policy to reduce the amount of time your application thread spends sending data.

You can also use it, along with DDS::PublishModeQosPolicy and a DDS::FlowController, to send large data reliably. "Large" in this context means that the data that cannot be sent as a single packet by a network transport. For example, to send data larger than 63K reliably using UDP/IP, you must configure RTI Connext to fragment the data and send it asynchronously.

The asynchronous publisher thread is shared by all ::DDS::PublishModeQosPolicyKind::ASYNCHRONOUS_PUBLISH_MODE_QOS DDS::DataWriter instances that belong to this publisher and handles their data transmission chores.

The asynchronous batch flushing thread is shared by all DDS::DataWriter instances with batching enabled that belong to this publisher.

This QoS policy also allows you to adjust the settings of the asynchronous publishing and the asynchronous batch flushing threads. To use different threads for two different DDS::DataWriter entities, the instances must belong to different DDS::Publisher instances.

A DDS::Publisher must have asynchronous publishing enabled for its DDS::DataWriter instances to write asynchronously.

A DDS::Publisher must have asynchronous batch flushing enabled in order to flush the batches of its DDS::DataWriter instances asynchronously. However, no asynchronous batch flushing thread will be started until the first DDS::DataWriter instance with batching enabled is created from this DDS::Publisher.

Property Documentation

System:: Boolean DDS::AsynchronousPublisherQosPolicy::disable_asynchronous_write

getset

Disable asynchronous publishing.

If set to true, any DDS::DataWriter created with ::DDS::PublishModeQosPolicyKind::ASYNCHRONOUS_PUBLISH_MODE_QOS will fail with DDS::Retcode_InconsistentPolicy.

[default] false

System:: Boolean DDS::AsynchronousPublisherQosPolicy::disable_asynchronous_batch

getset

Disable asynchronous batch flushing.

If set to true, any DDS::DataWriter created with batching enabled will fail with DDS::Retcode_InconsistentPolicy.

If DDS::BatchQosPolicy::max_flush_delay is different than DDS::Duration_t::DURATION_INFINITE, DDS::AsynchronousPublisherQosPolicy::disable_asynchronous_batch must be set false.

[default] false
