Vortex OpenSlice Tuner

Vortex OpenSplice Tuner is a powerful deployment tool within ADLINK’s Vortex OpenSplice product suite. This tool offers total control over a deployed Vortex OpenSplice based Data Distribution Service (DDS) system from any local or remote platform that supports the Java language.

The 100% Java based Vortex OpenSplice Tuner Tool greatly aids the design, implementation, test and maintenance of Vortex OpenSplice based distributed systems (the Vortex OpenSplice Tuner is available both as a 'standalone' Java-program as well as an Eclipse plug-in for the Productivity tool suite).

The Vortex OpenSplice Tuner Tool can be used during all phases of software development:

Design: During the design phase, once the information model is established (i.e. topics are defined and 'registered' in a runtime environment, which can be both a host-environment as well as a target-environment), the Vortex OpenSplice Tuner Tool allows creation of publishers / writers and subscribers / readers on the fly to experiment and validate how this data should be treated by the middleware regarding persistence, durability, latency, etc.

Implementation: During the implementation phase, where actual application-level processing and distribution of this information is developed, the Vortex OpenSplice Tuner allows injection of test input-data by creating publishers and writers 'on the fly' as well as validating the responses by creating subscribers and readers for any produced topics.

Test: During the test phase, the total system can be monitored by inspection of data (by making 'snapshots' of writer and reader history caches) and behavior of readers and writers (statistics, like how long data has resided in the reader's cache before it was read) as well as monitoring of the data distribution behavior (memory-usage, transport-latencies).

Maintenance: Maximum flexibility for planned and 'ad-hoc' maintenance is offered by allowing the 100% Java based Vortex OpenSplice Tuner Tool (which can be executed on any JAVA enabled platform without the need of Vortex OpenSplice to be installed) to remotely connect via the web-based SOAP protocol to any 'reachable' Vortex OpenSplice system around the world (as long a HTTP-connection can be established with the Vortex OpenSplice computing-nodes of that system). Using such a dynamic-connection, critical data may be logged and data-sets may be 'injected' into the system to be maintained (such as new settings which can be automatically 'persisted' using the Quality of Service (QoS) features as offered by the persistence-profile supported by Vortex OpenSplice).

The Vortex OpenSplice Tuner Tool is differentiated from other vendor's DDS based tooling by its dynamic capabilities to not only connect to any remote Vortex OpenSplice DDS based system at runtime, but also its capabilities to create, discover and (QoS) tune any DDS entities 'on-the-fly'. Vortex OpenSplice Tuner provides facilities to observe entities in a Vortex OpenSplice system and browse over their (mutual) relationships using different views.

Vortex OpenSplice Tester

The Vortex OpenSplice Tester Tool is a major leap forward in automated testing and debugging of Data Distribution Service (DDS) based systems. The 100% Java based Vortex OpenSplice Tester Tool is designed with the systems integrator in mind and offers an intuitive set of features to aid this task, offering both 'local' operation (where the tool is running on a deployed DDS-system)as well as 'remote' operation (where the tool connects over SOAP to a remotely deployed DDS-system).

Key Features

Automated testing of DDS-based systems

Dynamic discovery of DDS entities
Domain-Specific scripting Language (DSL) for test scenario's
Batch execution of regression tests

Debugging of distributed DDS system

One-click definition of a monitoring-time-line
Analysis/comparison of topics / instances and samples
Virtual topic-attributes to dramatically ease analysis
System-browser of DDS entities (app's / readers / writers)
Connectivity and QoS-conflict monitoring / detection
Statistics-monitoring of applications and services

Integrated IDE

Syntax highlighting editor, script-executor and Sample Logger
One-click relations between script, logs and timeline
Optional integration of message-interfaces with DDS interactions

The Vortex OpenSplice Tester Tool has the following characteristics:

100% Java based
Remote-connection to target system (option)
Integrated charting capability
DDS-specific DSL alongside javascript, python or ruby

The Vortex OpenSplice Tester Tool is complementary to the Vortex OpenSplice Tuner Tool, in that the Tuner facilitates 'white-box' application monitoring and tuning (you can look 'inside' an application and monitor its behaviour and / or even change its Qualities of Service (QoS) parameters 'on-the-fly'). Whereas the Vortex OpenSplice Tester Tool provides 'black-box' system testing and debugging of DDS-based systems (it 'stimulates' a DDS-system by injection of information and can react-on / validate / display / chart the system's responses).

Vortex OpenSplice Configurator

The 100% Java Vortex OpenSplice Configurator tool is THE reference tool for configuring Vortex OpenSplice.

The Vortex OpenSplice Configurator includes a rich online guide describing Vortex OpenSplice Configuration options as well as providing context-sensitive help and parameter validation.

The Vortex OpenSplice Configurator is distributed with the Vortex OpenSplice core distribution. It will distinguish between Data Distribution Service (DDS) community and commercial versions and will indicate those features that are not included in the product's community edition.

Vortex OpenSplice Modeler

The Vortex OpenSplice Modeler is an integrated Eclipse based modeling tool based on Data Distribution Service (DDS) domain specific model driven development (MDD) techniques. The Vortex OpenSplice Modeler facilitates DDS-based system development by clearly distinguishing between the various 'scopes' and 'lifecycle stages' of the system supported by visual composition, configuration and round-trip engineering.

This purpose is realized by the following means:

Guidance: the tools provide context-aware guidance regarding the overall DDS concept, patterns and best-practices
Well-defined hierarchical steps
Information modeling (topic definitions in IDL, code-generation for topic QoS)
Application design (Java and / or C++ code-generation for application frameworks and DDS entities such as publishers/writers, subscribers / readers)
System deployment (information partitioning, network-configuration and durability configuration resulting in XML-based OpenSplice configuration data)

The following components and tools make up the MDD productivity tool suite:

Vortex OpenSplice Information Modeler: graphical information-modeling tool for system-wide topic 'type' and 'QoS' modeling and related DDS code-generation for Topic-entities and typed readers and writers.
Vortex OpenSplice Application Modeler: graphical application-modeling tool for application code-generation based on a DDS meta-model and related palette of DDS-entities and application frameworks (for listeners, waitsets, filters, queries)

The Vortex OpenSplice Modeler is available for all platforms supporting Java.

Vortex OpenSplice MmStat

The Vortex OpenSplice MmStat “shared-Memory Management Statics” tool is a command line tool that can be utilized in very simple ways such as monitoring the used and available amount of shared memory (assuming the federated-architecture deployment option is used):

Alternatively it has elaborate ways to monitor memory utilization of all Data Distribution Service (DDS) entities that are maintained in the shared memory segment and offers powerful ways to track down issues such as faulty applications continuously allocating new topics, instances, samples, etc.

Vortex OpenSplice Wireshark

Vortex OpenSplice is distributed with a wireshark 'dissector' for its RTNetworking network protocol. Together with the publicly available DDSI dissector this allows users to watch and trace any Data Distribution Service (DDS) related packet that goes on the wire from your Vortex OpenSplice DDS-based system.
Vortex OpenSplice Wireshark thus allows users to inspect DDSI-RTPS and RTNetworking packets that are exchanged between nodes on your network.

Vortex OpenSplice RnR Manager

Vortex OpenSplice RnR (Record and Replay) is included with Vortex OpenSplice and provides record and / or replay capabilities of Data Distribution Service (DDS) data. Vortex OpenSplice RnR has two distinctive components: (1) one or more pluggable Vortex OpenSplice RnR Services that perform the actual record and / or replay of data, and (2) a dedicated Vortex OpenSplice RnR Manager Tool (shown below) providing control over the RnR services. This allows recorded datasets import, analyzing, changing, and / or merging these and optionally exporting them to a target-system for replay purposes.

Vortex OpenSplice MATLAB and Simulink

MathWorks is the leading developer of mathematical computing software. MATLAB is a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and numeric computation. Simulink is a graphical environment for simulation and Model-Based Design for multidomain dynamic and embedded systems.

The Vortex OpenSplice MATLAB API is a Data Distribution Service (DDS) language binding for the MATLAB scripting language. It allows MATLAB scripts to connect to and exchange data with Vortex OpenSplice domains.

Vortex OpenSplice also provides support for connecting MathWorks Simulink models to DDS domains. The Vortex DDS Block Set enables Simulink users to drop blocks representing key DDS concepts (readers, writers, participants and so on) into their Simulink models, and through these blocks, read and write data to a Vortex OpenSplice domain.

MATLAB classes as well as Simulink BUS definitions are mapped to their corresponding Topic definitions in DDS. To ensure type agreement between DDS and MATLAB / Simulink applications, Simulink BUS definitions can be automatically generated from the corresponding Topic types defined in the IDL format that is standard for DDS applications. MATLAB classes can be deﬁned in the MATLAB workspace with the class name, ﬁelds and ﬁeld types corresponding to the DDS IDL Topic deﬁnition.

The integration allows users to create DDS entities in their MATLAB / Simulink model and associate them with desired QoS in separate XML files to provide maximum flexibility and control how and when data is exchanged. These capabilities allow users to transparently share any data between different MATLAB / Simulink applications and / or pure DDS applications no matter where they have been deployed in the network.
