Compatibility

RTI Perftest 2.3 is designed to compile and work against the RTI Connext DDS 5.3.x and 5.2.x releases.

Using security

Governance and Permission files have been updated to be compatible with the latest release for RTI Connext DDS, and are compatible with RTI Connext DDS 5.2.7 and greater.

If you are compiling RTI Perftest against 5.2.5, you will need to get the certificates from the release/2.0 branch. You can do that by using the following git command from the top-level directory of your repository:

git checkout release/2.0 -- resource/secure

Compilation restrictions

RTI Perftest is designed to compile and work against the RTI Connext DDS 5.2.x and 5.3.x releases.

However, certain features are not compatible with all the RTI Connext DDS versions, since the build scripts make use of certain specific parameters in Rtiddsgen that might change or not be present between releases:

• The --secure and --openssl-home parameters will not work for versions previous to RTI Connext DDS 5.2.5.

• Java code generation against RTI Connext DDS 5.2.0.x will fail out of the box. You can disable this by adding the --skip-java-build flag. See the Known issues section for more information and alternatives.

• C# code generation against RTI Connext DDS 5.2.0.x is not supported. You can disable this by adding the --skip-cs-build flag.

Binaries

The binaries provided as part of the release are compiled statically against the RTI Connext DDS 5.3.0 libraries including the Security Plugins.

RTI Perftest 2.2

Compatibility

RTI Perftest 2.2 Compatibility

What's New

• Added command-line parameters -asynchronous and -flowController
• Improved -pubRate command-line parameter capabilities
• Added command-line parameter to get the CPU consumption of the process
• Better support for large data samples
• Added command-line parameter -peer to specify the discovery peers
• Now providing RTI Routing Service configuration files to test performance along with RTI Perftest
• Changed Announcement QoS profile to use "Transient local" Durability settings
• Added new functionality: Content Filtered Topic

What's Fixed

• Conflicts when using -multicast and -enableSharedMemory at the same time
• -nic command-line parameter not working when using TCP transport
• Batching disabled when sample size was greater than or equal to batch size
• Changed name of the -enableTcp option
• Dynamic Data not working properly when using large samples

RTI Perftest 2.1

Compatibility

RTI Perftest 2.1 is designed to compile and work against the RTI Connext DDS 5.2.x releases.

However, certain features are not compatible with all the RTI Connext DDS versions, since the build scripts make use of certain specific parameters in Rtiddsgen that might change or not be present between releases:

• The --secure and --openssl-home parameters will not work for versions previous to RTI Connext DDS 5.2.5.
• The C# code generation against RTI Connext DDS 5.2.0.x is not supported. Users can disable its compilation by adding the --skip-cs-build flag.

Governance and Permission files have been updated to be compatible with the latest release for RTI Connext DDS, and are compatible with RTI Connext DDS 5.2.7 and greater.

If you are compiling RTI Perftest against 5.2.5, you will need to get the certificates from the release/2.0 branch. You can do that by using the following git command from the top level directory of your repository:

git checkout release/2.0 -- resource/secure

What's New
