General

YottaDB-mqtt-pub is s simple and lightweight MQTT publisher for the native YottaDB programming language M.

Requirements

YottaDB-mqtt-pub is based on libmosquitto. To compile properly the mosquitto-dev-library has to be installed:

sudo apt-get install libmosquitto-dev

(And certainly YottaDB)

Compiling

YottaDB-mqtt-pub is compiled using make to a shared library with name YottaDB-mqtt-pub.so.

Interface

In YottaDB the interface for a call-out is specified by a so-called eXternal-Call-table. For example compiled in directory /some/where/YottaDB-mqtt-pub this must be:

/some/where/YottaDB-mqtt-pub/YottaDB-mqtt-pub.so

pub: void createClientAndPublish(I:ydb_char_t*, I:ydb_char_t*)

with filename YottaDB-mqtt-pub.xc

The Makefile will create the xc-table for you!

Before calling YottaDB an environment-variable with a special name must point to this xc-table:

export ydb_xc_mqtt=/some/where/YottaDB-mqtt-pub/YottaDB-mqtt-pub.xc

The Makefile will print out a template for copy-paste!

MQTT-Parameters

All parameters (like host, port, protocol, ...) are hardcoded in C. Standard is localhost:1883. As an enhancement (for future) these parameter can submitted by an intial call.

Sending messages (Interface)

d &mqtt.pub("hallo","welt")

Parameters:

1. Topic
2. Message payload

Return:

• void

(The mqttin this example points to the environment variable ydb_xc_mqtt, both can be changed synchronously.)
