Enumeration Type Documentation

Kinds of liveliness.

QoS:
DDS_LivelinessQosPolicy
Enumerator:
DDS_AUTOMATIC_LIVELINESS_QOS 

[default] The infrastructure will automatically signal liveliness for the DDS_DataWriter (s) at least as often as required by the DDS_DataWriter (S) lease_duration.

A DDS_DataWriter with this setting does not need to take any specific action in order to be considered 'alive.' The DDS_DataWriter is only 'not alive' when the participant to which it belongs terminates (gracefully or not), or when there is a network problem that prevents the current participant from contacting that remote participant.

DDS_MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT_LIVELINESS_QOS 

RTI Connext DDS Micro will assume that as long as at least one DDS_DataWriter belonging to the DDS_DomainParticipant (or the DDS_DomainParticipant itself) has asserted its liveliness, then the other DataWriters belonging to that same DDS_DomainParticipant are also alive.

The user application takes responsibility to signal liveliness to RTI Connext DDS Micro either by calling DDS_DomainParticipant_assert_liveliness, or by calling DDS_DataWriter_assert_liveliness, or FooDataWriter_write on any DDS_DataWriter belonging to the DDS_DomainParticipant.

DDS_MANUAL_BY_TOPIC_LIVELINESS_QOS 

RTI Connext DDS Micro will only assume liveliness of the DDS_DataWriter if the application has asserted liveliness of that DDS_DataWriter itself.

The user application takes responsibility to signal liveliness to RTI Connext DDS Micro using the DDS_DataWriter_assert_liveliness function, or by writing some data.
