TAO's Notification Service

TAO's Notification Service


Options to Notify_Service


The Notify_Service driver program options are:

Command Description
-Factory factory_name Uses the as the default name for the Channel Factory. The default is "NotifyEventChannelFactory".
-Boot Flag asking that the factory_name be registered in the IOR table. The option is disabled by default. See the "Using the Boot option" section in the README for details.
-NameSvc Registers the Factory and if specified, an Event Channel with the Naming Service. if this option is used, a Naming Service must be accessible. This option is enabled by default.
-NoNameSvc Asks to skip any registration with the Naming Service. This option is disabled by default.
-IORoutput file_name The IOR is output to the file file_name. By default, the IOR is printed out.
-Channel If this option is specified, a EventChannel is created and registered with the Naming Service. This option is disabled by default.
-ChannelName channel_name Specifes the channel_name to register with the Naming Service. The default is "NotifyEventChannel".
-ORBRunThreads threads Specifies the number of threads that will run the ORB::run method.

The Notify_Service driver can be used to load the CosNotification service or it's Real-Time CORBA extension, the RT-Notification.
By using the svc.conf file, the appropriate service is loaded.

To load the CosNotification do:
dynamic TAO_Notify_Service Service_Object * TAO_CosNotification:_make_TAO_CosNotify_Service () ""

or
static TAO_CosNotify_Service ""

To load the RT-Notification Service, do:
dynamic TAO_Notify_Service Service_Object * TAO_RT_Notification:_make_TAO_RT_Notify_Service () ""

If your application links to the RT-Notification library, you can configure the RT-Notification statically via:
static TAO_RT_Notify_Service ""

The service objects also accept the following options to control concurrency in the Notification.
Note that the Notification extensions allow threads to be specified at the EventChannel, Admin and Proxy levels via QoS parameters at run-time.

Option Description
-DispatchingThreads [thread_count] Specifies the number of threads for dispatching.
-SourceThreads [thread_count] Specifies the number of threads for ProxyConsumer filter evaluation.
-ListenerThreads [thread_count] Specifies the number of threads for ProxySupplier filter evaluation.
-AsynchUpdates Send subscription and publication updates asynchronously.
-NoUpdates Do not send any subscription and publication updates.
-AllocateTaskperProxy Allocate threads for the -LookupThreads and -ListenerThreads per proxy

Scripting Options for Notification Service Testing framework


The Notification Service Testing framework uses the Service Configurator to load various command objects.
The Command_Builder object is used to load the target objects.
To test the various Notification features we then write scripts to rapidly reproduce test cases.
The Notify_Test_Driver program reads a svc.conf file and executes the commands specified.
The following options can specified to the Driver program:

Command Description
-Timeout timeout_period_in_seconds Specify the timeout period for this test
-IORoutput output_file_name Output the IOR of the Activation Manager .
This is used by a client to signal its peer.
-IORinput file://input_file_name Input the IOR of the peer's Activation Manager .
This is used to signal the peer.
-Skip_Priority_Levels_Check Skip the check for multiple priority levels.

See the *.conf files in Lanes and ThreadPool for examples of the test framework in use.

The options that can be specified to each target object are as follows:
