For DataSetMetaData probes, the Publisher sends one discovery announcement NetworkMessage for each requested DataSetWriterId. For DataSetWriter configuration probes, the DataSetWriters that belong to one WriterGroup are sent together in one DataSetWriter configuration message. If more than one WriterGroup is affected, this results in a DataSetWriter configuration message per WriterGroup. |
The additional fields for WriterGroup related InformationType in a Publisher information probe message are specified in Table 181.
| Name | Type | Description |
| WriterGroupId | UInt16 | This option allows a Publisher information probe for a WriterGroup and the contained DataSetWriters if only the WriterGroupId is known from NetworkMessages.
