2.4.3. Publisher and Subscriber Names

The information displayed in the different Admin Console views depends on the information that Admin Console receives through Discovery. This information is primarily related to the DomainParticipants, DataWriters and DataReaders.

To set the name of the Publisher, Admin Console uses the DataWriterQos publication_name field of the first DataWriter discovered for the Publisher. (Although the Publisher’s PublisherQoS does have a publication_name field, that value isn’t sent over the wire.) Similarly, Admin Console uses the first discovered DataReader’s subscription_name as the name of the Subscriber.
