saveNewComputation {distcomp}

Save a computation instance, given the computation definition, associated data and possibly a data file name to use

Description

The function saveNewComputation uses the computation definition to save a new computation instance. This is typically done for every site that wants to participate in a computation with its own local data. The function examines the computation definition and uses the identifier therein to uniquely refer to the computation instance at the site. This function is invoked (maybe remotely) on the opencpu server by uploadNewComputation() when a worker site is being set up

Usage

saveNewComputation(defn, data, dataFileName = NULL)

Arguments

defn

an already defined computation

data

the (local) data to use

dataFileName

a file name to use for saving the data. Typically NULL, this is only needed when one is using a single opencpu server to behave like multiple sites in which case the data file name serves to distinguish the site-specific data files. When it is NULL, the data file name is taken from the configuration settings

Value

TRUE if everything goes well
