Connext Drive Eval:
Static Endpoint Discovery and Admin Console

General Overview

This example demonstrates interoperability between the "out of the box" Connext Drive Evaluation -exampleTemplate cert example and RTI's Admin Console tool. Because a cert system uses static endpoint discovery (DPSE), some configuration is required on both the Admin Console side, and on the stock example side.

Section 5 of the Connext Drive Eval Documentation describes how a user would create the starting point for this repo's example:

$RTIMEHOME/rtiddsgen/scripts/rtiddsgen -micro -example -exampleTemplate cert -language C HelloWorld.idl

This command should be called in this repo's top-level directory to generate type-support files. Note that existing example source files will not be overwritten.

Changes To The C Example

• In HelloWorldApplication.h, USE_ADMINCONSOLE can be defined (by default, it is) to configure "Admin Console-friendly" resource limits and assertions.

Changes To Admin Console's Configuration

• Guidance and files related to the configuration of Admin Console can be found in this repo's admin_console_config directory.

Compiling With rtime-make

The following assumptions are made:

• The environment variable RTIMEHOME is set to the Connext Drive Eval installation directory
• Libraries exist in your installation for the architecture in question
  • For example x64Linux4gcc7.3.0_certprofile

Linux on Intel x64:

$ cd your/project/directory 
$ $RTIMEHOME/resource/scripts/rtime-make --config Release --build --target x64Linux4gcc7.3.0_certprofile --source-dir . -G "Unix Makefiles" --delete

After the build completes, the executables can be found in the objs/x64Linux4gcc7.3.0_certprofile directory.

Running HelloWorld_publisher and HelloWorld_subscriber in Domain 100

Open 2 terminal sessions. Start the publisher in one terminal and the subscriber in the second.

$ ./objs/x64Linux4gcc7.3.0_certprofile/HelloWorld_publisher -domain 100

Run the second subscriber in another terminal with the command:

$ ./objs/x64Linux4gcc7.3.0_certprofile/HelloWorld_subscriber -domain 100
