.. _server: Server ====== .. _server-configuration: Server Configuration -------------------- The configuration structure is passed to the server during initialization. The server expects that the configuration is not modified during runtime. Currently, only one server can use a configuration at a time. During shutdown, the server will clean up the parts of the configuration that are modified at runtime through the provided API. Examples for configurations are provided in the ``/plugins`` folder. The usual usage is as follows: 1. Create a server configuration with default settings as a starting point 2. Modifiy the configuration, e.g. by adding a server certificate 3. Instantiate a server with it 4. After shutdown of the server, clean up the configuration (free memory) The :ref:`tutorials` provide a good starting point for this. .. code-block:: c struct UA_ServerConfig { UA_Logger logger; /* logger is deprecated but still supported at this time. Use logging pointer instead. */ UA_Logger *logging; /* If NULL and "logger" is set, make this point to "logger" */ void *context; /* Used to attach custom data to a server config. This can * then be retrieved e.g. in a callback that forwards a * pointer to the server. */ Server Description ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The description must be internally consistent. The ApplicationUri set in the ApplicationDescription must match the URI set in the server certificate. .. code-block:: c UA_BuildInfo buildInfo; UA_ApplicationDescription applicationDescription; UA_ByteString serverCertificate; Server Lifecycle ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: c /* Delay in ms from the shutdown signal (ctrl-c) until the actual shutdown. * Clients need to be able to get a notification ahead of time. */ UA_Double shutdownDelay; /* If an asynchronous server shutdown is used, this callback notifies about * the current lifecycle state (notably the STOPPING -> STOPPED * transition). */ void (*notifyLifecycleState)(UA_Server *server, UA_LifecycleState state); Rule Handling ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Override the handling of standard-defined behavior. These settings are used to balance the following contradicting requirements: - Strict conformance with the standard (for certification). - Ensure interoperability with old/non-conforming implementations encountered in the wild. The defaults are set for compatibility with the largest number of OPC UA vendors (with log warnings activated). Cf. Postel's Law "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept". See the section :ref:`rule-handling` for the possible settings. .. code-block:: c /* Verify that the server sends a timestamp in the request header */ UA_RuleHandling verifyRequestTimestamp; /* Variables (that don't have a DataType of BaseDataType) must not have an * empty variant value. The default behaviour is to auto-create a matching * zeroed-out value for empty VariableNodes when they are added. */ UA_RuleHandling allowEmptyVariables; Custom Data Types ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The following is a linked list of arrays with custom data types. All data types that are accessible from here are automatically considered for the decoding of received messages. Custom data types are not cleaned up together with the configuration. So it is possible to allocate them on ROM. See the section on :ref:`generic-types`. Examples for working with custom data types are provided in ``/examples/custom_datatype/``. .. code-block:: c const UA_DataTypeArray *customDataTypes; .. note:: See the section on :ref:`generic-types`. Examples for working with custom data types are provided in ``/examples/custom_datatype/``. .. code-block:: c EventLoop ^^^^^^^^^ The sever can be plugged into an external EventLoop. Otherwise the EventLoop is considered to be attached to the server's lifecycle and will be destroyed when the config is cleaned up. .. code-block:: c UA_EventLoop *eventLoop; UA_Boolean externalEventLoop; /* The EventLoop is not deleted with the config */ Networking ^^^^^^^^^^ The `severUrls` array contains the server URLs like `opc.tcp://my-server:4840` or `opc.wss://localhost:443`. The URLs are used both for discovery and to set up the server sockets based on the defined hostnames (and ports). - If the list is empty: Listen on all network interfaces with TCP port 4840. - If the hostname of a URL is empty: Use the define protocol and port and listen on all interfaces. .. code-block:: c UA_String *serverUrls; size_t serverUrlsSize; The following settings are specific to OPC UA with TCP transport. .. code-block:: c UA_UInt32 tcpBufSize; /* Max length of sent and received chunks (packets) * (default: 64kB) */ UA_UInt32 tcpMaxMsgSize; /* Max length of messages * (default: 0 -> unbounded) */ UA_UInt32 tcpMaxChunks; /* Max number of chunks per message * (default: 0 -> unbounded) */ Security and Encryption ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: c size_t securityPoliciesSize; UA_SecurityPolicy* securityPolicies; size_t endpointsSize; UA_EndpointDescription *endpoints; /* Only allow the following discovery services to be executed on a * SecureChannel with SecurityPolicyNone: GetEndpointsRequest, * FindServersRequest and FindServersOnNetworkRequest. * * Only enable this option if there is no endpoint with SecurityPolicy#None * in the endpoints list.

When passing numeric NodeIds with a numeric identifier 0, the stack evaluates this as "select a random unassigned numeric NodeId in that namespace". To find out which NodeId was actually assigned to the new node, you may pass a pointer `outNewNodeId`, which will (after a successful node insertion) contain the nodeId of the new node. You may also pass a ``NULL`` pointer if this result is not needed. See the Section :ref:`node-lifecycle` on constructors and on attaching user-defined data to nodes. The methods for node addition and deletion take mostly const arguments that are not modified. When creating a node, a deep copy of the node identifier, node attributes, etc. is created. Therefore, it is possible to call for example ``UA_Server_addVariablenode`` with a value attribute (a :ref:`variant`) pointing to a memory location on the stack. If you need changes to a variable value to manifest at a specific memory location, please use a :ref:`datasource` or a :ref:`value-callback`. .. code-block:: c /* Protect against redundant definitions for server/client */ #ifndef UA_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES_DEFINED #define UA_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES_DEFINED /* The default for variables is "BaseDataType" for the datatype, -2 for the * valuerank and a read-accesslevel. */ extern const UA_VariableAttributes UA_VariableAttributes_default; extern const UA_VariableTypeAttributes UA_VariableTypeAttributes_default; /* Methods are executable by default */ extern const UA_MethodAttributes UA_MethodAttributes_default; /* The remaining attribute definitions are currently all zeroed out */ extern const UA_ObjectAttributes UA_ObjectAttributes_default; extern const UA_ObjectTypeAttributes UA_ObjectTypeAttributes_default; extern const UA_ReferenceTypeAttributes UA_ReferenceTypeAttributes_default; extern const UA_DataTypeAttributes UA_DataTypeAttributes_default; extern const UA_ViewAttributes UA_ViewAttributes_default; #endif /* Don't use this function.

The node receives a unique `EventId` which is automatically added to the node. The method returns a `NodeId` to the object node which represents the event through ``outNodeId``. The `NodeId` can be used to set the attributes of the event. The generated `NodeId` is always numeric. ``outNodeId`` cannot be ``NULL``. Note: In order to see an event in UAExpert, the field `Time` must be given a value! The method ``UA_Server_triggerEvent`` "triggers" an event by adding it to all monitored items of the specified origin node and those of all its parents. Any filters specified by the monitored items are automatically applied. Using this method deletes the node generated by ``UA_Server_createEvent``. The `EventId` for the new event is generated automatically and is returned through ``outEventId``. ``NULL`` can be passed if the `EventId` is not needed. ``deleteEventNode`` specifies whether the node representation of the event should be deleted after invoking the method.

In order not to block the server during such an operation, it can be "outsourced" to a worker thread. Take the example of a CallRequest. It is split into the individual method call operations. If the method is marked as async, then the operation is put into a queue where it is be retrieved by a worker. The worker returns the result when ready. See the examples in ``/examples/tutorial_server_method_async.c`` for the usage. Note that the operation can time out (see the asyncOperationTimeout setting in the server config) also when it has been retrieved by the worker. .. code-block:: c #if UA_MULTITHREADING >= 100 /* Set the async flag in a method node */ UA_StatusCode UA_Server_setMethodNodeAsync(UA_Server *server, const UA_NodeId id, UA_Boolean isAsync); typedef enum { UA_ASYNCOPERATIONTYPE_INVALID, /* 0, the default */ UA_ASYNCOPERATIONTYPE_CALL /* UA_ASYNCOPERATIONTYPE_READ, */ /* UA_ASYNCOPERATIONTYPE_WRITE, */ } UA_AsyncOperationType; typedef union { UA_CallMethodRequest callMethodRequest; /* UA_ReadValueId readValueId; */ /* UA_WriteValue writeValue; */ } UA_AsyncOperationRequest; typedef union { UA_CallMethodResult callMethodResult; /* UA_DataValue readResult; */ /* UA_StatusCode writeResult; */ } UA_AsyncOperationResponse; /* Get the next async operation without blocking * * @param server The server object * @param type The type of the async operation * @param request Receives pointer to the operation * @param context Receives the pointer to the operation context * @param timeout The timestamp when the operation times out and can * no longer be returned to the client.

Counters are structured per OPC UA communication layer. .. code-block:: c typedef struct { UA_SecureChannelStatistics scs; UA_SessionStatistics ss; } UA_ServerStatistics; UA_ServerStatistics UA_Server_getStatistics(UA_Server *server); Reverse Connect --------------- The reverse connect feature of OPC UA permits the server instead of the client to establish the connection. The client must expose the listening port so the server is able to reach it. .. code-block:: c The reverse connect state change callback is called whenever the state of a reverse connect is changed by a connection attempt, a successful connection or a connection loss. The reverse connect states reflect the state of the secure channel currently associated with a reverse connect. The state will remain UA_SECURECHANNELSTATE_CONNECTING while the server attempts repeatedly to establish a connection. .. code-block:: c typedef void (*UA_Server_ReverseConnectStateCallback)(UA_Server *server, UA_UInt64 handle, UA_SecureChannelState state, void *context); Registers a reverse connect in the server.
