2. Introduction

This section describes the Vortex OpenSplice Tuner.

2.1. General Description

Vortex OpenSplice Tuner has been implemented in the Java language. It is possible to use it on every platform where a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) implementation is available. That means that Vortex OpenSplice Tuner does not require OpenSplice to be available on the local system (see Vortex OpenSplice Tuner Z at Node C).

The diagram below shows a high-level view of a typical environment with both Vortex OpenSplice and Vortex OpenSplice Tuner.

Vortex OpenSplice is available at Node A and Node B. Vortex OpenSplice Tuner is available at Node A and Node C. At both Node A and Node B there are some Vortex OpenSplice applications running (Applications 1 - 5).

Typical OpenSplice Tuner Environment

Typical OpenSplice Tuner Environment

Vortex OpenSplice Tuner is able to connect to one specific OpenSplice DDS domain at one specific node, both locally and remotely. A local connection is achieved by directly accessing OpenSplice at the local node. The diagram shows two local connections. Both OpenSplice Tuner X and Y are connected to Domain II. This implies it is possible to simultaneous connect two Vortex OpenSplice Tuners to one specific domain and node.

A remote connection can be achieved by means of an agent within Vortex OpenSplice. This agent allows Vortex OpenSplice Tuner to communicate with a remote node. In the diagram, the red dashed line indicates the possible remote connections of SPLICE-Tuner Z at Node C to the Vortex OpenSplice domains at the other two nodes.

Possible connections of Vortex OpenSplice Tuners to a domain and node shown are:

OpenSplice Tuner X —> Domain I at Node A

OpenSplice Tuner X —> Domain II at Node A

OpenSplice Tuner X —> Domain I at Node B

OpenSplice Tuner X —> Domain II at Node B

OpenSplice Tuner Y —> Domain I at Node A

OpenSplice Tuner Y —> Domain II at Node A

OpenSplice Tuner Y —> Domain I at Node B

OpenSplice Tuner Y —> Domain II at Node B

OpenSplice Tuner Z —> Domain I at Node A

OpenSplice Tuner Z —> Domain II at Node A

OpenSplice Tuner Z —> Domain I at Node B

OpenSplice Tuner Z —> Domain II at Node B
