First:

linux

Open a shell and source the release.com file from the Vortex OpenSplice installation directory.

windows

Open a Windows Command prompt and run the release.bat file in the Vortex OpenSplice installation directory.

windows

Alternatively, use the Vortex OpenSplice Command Prompt that can be accessed from the Windows Start menu (this will implicitly run release.bat).

Note that the Vortex OpenSplice Launcher tool also provides a Console option which sets up the Vortex OpenSplice environment.

Next:

Set the OSPL_URI variable to refer to the Vortex OpenSplice configuration that is required (see the section How to select the Architectural Mode).

7.2. Running Single Process and Shared Memory Modes

  • With an OSPL_URI variable referring to a Single Process deployment, you just need to start the DDS application process. The create_participant() operation, which is the entry into the DDS Domain, will create the entire DDS infrastructure within the application process and the services will be started as threads.
  • With an OSPL_URI variable referring to a Shared Memory deployment, it is necessary to start the DDS infrastructure before starting your DDS application processes. That is done by using the ospl utility tool:
ospl start
# now run the DDS application processes as normal
ospl stop
