Participant Use Cases

Working with domain participants.

Working with domain participants.

Turning off auto-enable of newly created participant(s)

• Get the factory

• Change the value of the ENTITY_FACTORY for the DDSDomainParticipantFactory

   
      DDS_DomainParticipantFactoryQos factory_qos; 
      
      if (factory->get_qos(factory_qos) != DDS_RETCODE_OK) {
           printf("***Error: failed to get domain participant factory qos\n");
      }
   
      /* Change the QosPolicy to create disabled participants */
      factory_qos.entity_factory.autoenable_created_entities = DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE;
   
      if (factory->set_qos(factory_qos) != DDS_RETCODE_OK) {
          printf("***Error: failed to set domain participant factory qos\n");
      }   

Getting the factory

• Get the DDSDomainParticipantFactory instance:

  DDSDomainParticipantFactory* factory = NULL; 
   
  factory = DDSDomainParticipantFactory::get_instance();
   
  if (factory == NULL) { 
     // ... error
  }

Setting up a participant

• Get the factory
• Create DDSDomainParticipant:

 DDS_DomainParticipantQos participant_qos;
    DDSDomainParticipantListener* participant_listener = NULL;
    DDS_ReturnCode_t retcode;
 
 // Set the initial peers. This list includes all the computers the
 // application may communicate with, along with the maximum number of
 // RTI Data Distribution Service participants that can concurrently 
 // run on that computer. This list only needs to be a superset of the
 // actual list of computers and participants that will be running at 
 // any time. 
 
 const char* NDDS_DISCOVERY_INITIAL_PEERS[] = {
  "host1",
  "10.10.30.192",
  "1@localhost",        
  "2@host2",
  "my://", /* all unicast addrs on transport plugins with alias "my" */
  "2@shmem://", /* shared memory */
  "FF00:ABCD::0",
  "sf://0/0/R", /* StarFabric transport plugin */
  "1@FF00:0:1234::0",
  "225.1.2.3",
  "3@225.1.0.55",
  "FAA0::0#0/0/R",
};
 
const DDS_Long NDDS_DISCOVERY_INITIAL_PEERS_LENGTH =
      sizeof(NDDS_DISCOVERY_INITIAL_PEERS)/sizeof(const char*);
 
// initialize participant_qos with default values
retcode = factory->get_default_participant_qos(participant_qos);
 
if (retcode != DDS_RETCODE_OK) {
    printf("***Error: failed to get default participant qos\n");
}
 
if (!participant_qos.discovery.initial_peers.from_array(
                        NDDS_DISCOVERY_INITIAL_PEERS,
                         NDDS_DISCOVERY_INITIAL_PEERS_LENGTH)) {
    printf("***Error: failed to set discovery.initial_peers qos\n");
}
 
// Create the participant
DDSDomainParticipant* participant = 
    factory->create_participant(domain_id, 
                                participant_qos, 
                                participant_listener,
                                        DDS_STATUS_MASK_NONE);
if (participant == NULL) {
     printf("***Error: failed to create domain participant\n");
};
return participant;

Tearing down a participant

• Get the factory
• Delete DDSDomainParticipant:

  DDS_ReturnCode_t retcode;
   
  retcode = factory->delete_participant(participant);
   
  if (retcode != DDS_RETCODE_OK) {
      // ... check for cause of failure
  }
