What we’ll cover

• What’s in the box •  Customer feedback •  Suppor3ng new use cases •  The big boulders of this release •  Interoperability •  Transi3oning to 5.2.0


New RTI Connext bundling

•  Host bundle: all non-‐compiler specific files, such as documenta3on, header files, tools, services executables (e.g., Rou3ng Service or Persistence Service).

•  Target bundle: libraries. Target bundles are shipped in a new RTI packaging format.


New RTI Connext bundling – Cont.

•  Package types: Core, Basic, Pro, Eval, and add-‐ons –  Core package includes basic libs, does not include RTI applica3ons/ services products.

–  Basic, Pro and Eval all have the same func3onality. The bundles differ in which components are license managed.

–  Installers are now available for all host package types.

–  Targets are installed through the new RTI package mgr.


New RTI Package Manager

The RTI package file (.rtipkg) is a compressed file containing: –  package.properties (file) describing the package –  MANIFEST.xml (file) containing a list of files to be installed. –  Compressed files and directory structure to be installed

The package manager handles backups and patch installa3ons.

Use the RTI Package Manager (bin/rtipkginstall, or from the Launcher GUI) to install target bundles,

patches, ports and feature accelera3ons.

Check out the pla>orm notes for details, including which compila3on flags we

used, what are required system libs


More complete product support

•  .NET API Support –  for Custom Content Filter –  for Op3onal Members

•  Ada language binding available today – Ada compiler upgraded to GNAT 7.3.2

•  Database Adapter for Microson SQL Server •  RTI DDS LabVIEW Toolkit support for real-‐3me NI Linux/ARMv7


Addressing customer use cases Beper support for large data or variable sized samples

•  Enable the number of elements in a Sequence to be unbounded. •  Enable the number bytes in a String to be unbounded •  Support unbounded Sequences and Strings for key fields •  Support use of Content Filter with unbounded sequence and strings •  Support in the following languages: C, C++/CLI, .NET, Dynamic Data and Built-‐

in-‐types •  Limita3ons:

•  Does not support Java (yet) (for generated Java Code. It is supported in Dyn Data.) •  Persistence Service does not support unbounded sequence/strings out-‐of-‐the-‐box. •  Recorder supports only serialized recording of variable sized samples. •  Excel currently already disallows work with unbounded types. •  Does not support Database Integra3on Service


Addressing customer use cases Ability to serialize sample into buffer and deserialize sample from buffer •  Two new TypeSupport opera3ons to serialize a sample into a buffer and deserialize a sample from a buffer.

•  The sample serializa3on/deserializa3on uses CDR representa3on.

•  Supported in the following languages: –  Generated Code: C, C++, Java and .NET –  Dynamic Data: C, C++ (tradi3onal and modern)


Addressing customer use cases •  TCP transport support for load balancers, tested with F5 hardware LB. •  New op3on to release the resources associated to a disposed instance. We

now also support the standard service_cleanup delay in PS. •  Several TCP and TLS enhancements: more scalable and robust •  Ability to supervise the end-‐point discovery provides addi3onal level of control

of who can be discovered. •  Ability to Add Metadata Flags to Samples •  Allow out-‐of-‐order type defini3ons in XML configura3on files •  Enable user to apach response to an applica3on acknowledgement message

and no3fy the writer. •  Enable users to provide user-‐managed threads to the middleware. … and tons more. èPlease check the Release Notes for more details.


Stable connec3vity pla>orm for IIoT Addressing product issues •  Beper TCP transport! More robust and more scalable. •  Resolved communica3on issue for two par3cipants on the same node when

one has SHMEM transport disabled. •  Resolved memory growth issues in more dynamic environments •  Dynamic Data API fixes •  DW/DR Liveliness QoS Policy fixes •  Resolved interoperability issue when using UDPv6 transport •  Large data sample repair fix •  Domain Par3cipant crea3on fixes related when no shared memory segment

is available, or when no unique IP address is available (MacOS) •  Resolved issues related to DDS en3ty destruc3on.

èPlease check the Release Notes for a descrip3on of all bug fixes. We’ve spent a lot of effort addressing product issues to make this a very stable release.


Big boulders

•  R3ddsgen2.0 •  C++ PSM •  Queuing Service •  Data Visualiza3on •  New Launcher


Code genera3on


Why a new code generator?

up to 10x faster Code genera3on

Customizable templates


R3ddsgen2.0 -‐ Con3nued •  Obfuscate op3on to share IDL with others •  New genera3on op3ons (-create, -update) to avoid erroneously

overwri3ng previously generated example, type or make files R3ddsgen2.0 Limita3ons •  XSD-‐based code genera3on to be supported aner 5.2 release •  No support for bi>ields •  -corba, -metp è use the r3ddsgen1.0-‐based code generator. This

capability is provided through corresponding add-‐on products.


New C++ language binding


C++ PSM (Pla>orm Specific Model) •  A New C++ API for C++03 and C++11

–  A modern C++ API which works well with the standard library

–  An API that is efficient, expressive, easy-‐to-‐use, and easy-‐to-‐learn.

–  Generic programming, automa3c resource management, use of excep3ons, C++11 features such as move opera3ons.

•  Same feature support as the other RTI supported language APIs, including RTI extensions and XML applica3on crea3on. Note: Tradi3onal C++ PSM

is s3ll supported


A P2P distributed applica3on in under 35 lines of C++11 Code (see blog post)

Interoperability •  UDPv6 class ID is now RTPS spec compliant

–  Admin console will help you iden3fy the compa3bility issue –  Connext 5.1 backward compa3bility mode

(dds.transport.use_510_compa=ble_locator_kinds property)

•  Issue when using built-‐in topics to monitor Rou3ng Service, Queuing Service or Data Integra3on Service while mixing 5.1 / 5.2 versions

•  Monitoring types are not backwards compa3ble •  Solaris Sparc Shared memory compa3bility issue


New QoS values for

•  New defaults for –  DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t.buffer_max_size –  DiscoveryConfig Built-‐In Writer autopurge_unregistered_instances_delay

–  DataReader Resource Limits: dynamically_allocate_fragmented_samples and max_fragments_per_sample

•  HighThroughput and AutoTuning built-‐in QoS profiles changed to resolve an issue where communica3on may fail when wri3ng small samples


Transi3oning from 5.1 to 5.2

•  Regenerate and recompile •  Automa3on scripts will need to be updated due the new directory structure –  Change scripts which launch applica3ons like r3ddsgen, rou3ng_service, etc.

–  Change the build path to point to the new SDK directory –  Change library path to point to the new directory


Community.r3.com

•  RTI Connext examples are updated for 5.2.0.
