EDIT: I have switched from DCPSInfoRepo to RTPS, and everything is working fine. I don't know if this question should stay open to answer the problem for anyone working with DCPSInfoRepo

I am looking into using OpenDDS, and I am currently following the "Getting Started" guide for Windows. I reached the step of running the Messenger example using the command

run run_test.pl

I get the following output which I believe is an error.

C:\dds\bin\.\DCPSInfoRepo.EXE -ORBDebugLevel 10 -ORBLogFile DCPSInfoRepo.log -o
repo.ior

l 6 -ORBLogFile subscriber.log
ERROR: publisher returned 4294967295
ERROR: subscriber returned 4294967295
INFO: C:\dds/bin/DCPSInfoRepo being killed.

Can I please get some directions on how to resolve this issue?

  • Have you checked the log files that are created, publisher.log, subscriber.log, and dcpsinforepo.log? – Johnny Willemsen Jan 03 '16 at 19:02
  • @JohnnyWillemsen Yes, I have. But they are very long and complex, I don't really understand the content. What should I be looking for? – Abdulrahman Alhadhrami Jan 04 '16 at 05:10

    Lines with error, probably related to hostname and ip address, check whether you can ping your system using its DNS hostname – Johnny Willemsen Jan 04 '16 at 08:14

    I personally would go for RTPS and completely forget the DCPSInfoRepo – Johnny Willemsen Jan 04 '16 at 12:04
  • @JohnnyWillemsen do you have aby good resources on how to actually start a new OpenDDS project from scratch? I have understood the examples given, but I couldn't find resources on starting your own project. The guide only contains snippets. Thanks. – Abdulrahman Alhadhrami Jan 05 '16 at 07:39
  • No, documentation of OpenDDS is limited, did you have a look at RTI Connext DDS? – Johnny Willemsen Jan 05 '16 at 07:54
  • My colleague is taking a look at it. I'm the one stuck with OpenDDS. Do you recommend it as opposed to OpenDDS? and why? – Abdulrahman Alhadhrami Jan 05 '16 at 07:56
  • @alhadhrami, how do you switch to RTPS ? – Twimnox Apr 19 '16 at 13:04
  • @Twimnox, to run the `publisher` and `subscriber` in RTPS mode, you don't start the `DCPSInfoRepo', run the 'subscriber' and 'publisher' with '-DCPSConfigFile` `RTPS` configuration. For example `./subscriber -DCPSConfigFile rtps.ini` and the `rtps.ini` should contain configuration details as `[common] DCPSGlobalTransportConfig=$file DCPSDefaultDiscovery=DEFAULT_RTPS [transport/the_rtps_transport] transport_type=tcp` – Panch Sep 04 '17 at 07:06
