*This section describes the OpenSplice Tuner.*

General Description
*******************

OpenSplice Tuner has been implemented in the Java language. It is
possible to use it on every platform where a Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) implementation is available. That means that OpenSplice Tuner
does not require OpenSplice to be available on the local system.

OpenSplice Tuner is able to connect to one specific OpenSplice
DDS domain at one specific node, both locally and remotely.  It is possible
to simultaneously connect one or more OpenSplice Tuners to a specific
domainand node.

The diagram below shows an overview of a OpenSplice Tuner process
connecting locally to a OpenSplicefederation (shared memory
deployment) on one computing node.
(Typically, there are many nodes within a system.)

The diagram below shows an overview of a OpenSplice Tuner
process connecting remotely to a OpenSplice application
(single process deployment). The Tuner service (aka the SOAP service)
must be enabled in the OpenSplice configuration file to allow
remote connection for tools.

_`OpenSplice Tuner Remote Connection`:

While the figure details a remote connection to a single process
deployment, one can also use the remote connection capability to
connect to a shared memory deployment in the exact same way.
