inlineinherited

Parameters

Definition at line 869 of file DeploymentComponent.hpp.

bool configureComponents ( )

inherited

Configure the components with loaded configuration(s).

This function connects components and data ports, reads properties for the components, attaches activities and loads program and state machine scripts. If a component XML entry has the AutoConf element, configure() will be called upon this component as well. If the configuration fails halfway, the system is configured as complete as possible. You can try to reconfigure by loading a new configuration (using loadConfiguration ) and call configureComponents again to resolve remaining issues.

This function tries to apply the configuration with a best effort. For example, if a program must be loaded in the component, and a program with that same name is already present, the present one is unloaded and the new one is attempted to be loaded. If that fails, the configuration process leaves the scripts as-is and proceeds with further configuration steps of the same component and other components.

The order of configuration depends on the order of components during loadConfiguration. The first encountered component is configured first. If additional loadConfiguration operations refer to the same component, the configuration order is not changed.

Returns: true if all components could be succesfully configured.
