Using Federates from another RTI

People new to Portico are typically trying to get a federation up and running after having previously used another RTI. If you are coming over to Portico with a federation that worked on another RTI, this page is designed to give you some information about how to get going.

Java Federates
If you have Java federates, they will work happily without the need to recompile in any way. If you are using one of the supported interfaces, all you need to do is make sure the  file is on your classpath and everything should run happily.

If you want some more information about writing Java federates with Portico, see Getting Started with Java

C++ Federates
If you are using the C++ RTI-NG or DLC interfaces, you should just be able to change the location of the runtime libraries to make sure they point at the appropriate Portico libraries. In some cases you will need to recompile against the Portico libraries, your milage will vary depending on your interface/platform/compiler combination.

For full information on what is required to get C++ federates running with Portico see the "Running Federates with Portico C++" section of Getting Started With Portico C++
