4.5.1.3. Admin Console now remembers information used to subscribe to Topics

Admin Console will now remember the last file used to subscribe to each specific topic and the data type that was used to create the subscription that specific topic. This information will be used to preload the information in the Subscription panel.

Additionally, Admin Console will remember the last XML file selected in the Load Data Types dialog. That XML file will be selected by default and the path to that XML file will be used when opening the selection file dialog.

4.5.1.4. Simplified QoS profile

This release reduces the number of QoS profiles that Admin Console uses from four to one. Previously, there were separate QoS profiles for administration and data visualization, and two identical profiles that supported 5.1.0 and earlier versions.

This release combines the administration and data visualization profiles into a single profile and eliminates the 5.1.0-compatible profiles. There are instructions on the RTI Community portal to get 5.1.0 compatibility with this new profile if needed.

4.5.1.5. Added filter for data types when creating subscriptions

In the Create Subscription dialog, there is a new filter for the Data Type combo box. This filter allows you to type in any text and the Data Type combo box will only show the data types that contain that text.

4.5.1.6. Ability to copy QoS values from DDS QoS tab

On the DDS QoS tab, there is a new popup that allows you to copy QoS values.

Release notes copy QoS cropped

Pressing Ctrl + C (on Windows and Linux systems) or Command + C (on macOS systems) with a row selected will achieve the same result.

4.5.1.7. Support for loading data types from multiple XML files

Admin Console now supports loading multiple XML files. This allows subscribing to data types defined in different XML files.

4.5.1.8. Notification when using non-default QoS profile for administration

Admin Console will show a warning message in a pop-up window when a non-default QoS profile is selected for Administration. In the pop-up window, you can disable the message so that it does not show up again.

4.5.1.9. New button to switch to Administration Perspective

The Data Visualization menu has a new button IMG_RELEASE_SYSTEM to switch to the Administration Perspective. The button is only enabled when a view other than Administration Perspective is open. It is next to the Data Visualization button IMG_RELEASE_VISUALIZE.

4.5.1.10. Match Analyses table rows are now sorted

In the Match Analyses view, the second-level rows in the tree view are now sorted alphabetically. This makes it easier to find matching criteria.

4.5.1.11. Updated visualization system

Admin Console’s visualization system can now show you how a system is configured in terms of the DDS Entities that were discovered by Admin Console, including how are those entities are connected and the match analysis for those entities.

This new system includes visualization of the full DDS system discovered by Admin Console, visualization of all the entities that are connected with the different domains, views for the entities connected with each specific topic, and a view of all the entities related to a specific process.
