This document aims to help during the migration process from eProsima Fast DDS version 2 to Fast DDS version 3. For more information about all the updates, please refer to the release notes.
It is always required to regenerate the types with the appropriate version of eProsima Fast DDS Gen, (see products compatibility). The compatible version with Fast DDS v3.0.0 is Fast DDS Gen v4.0.0.
The following sections describe the possible changes that your project may require to migrate to Fast DDS v3.0.0.
- Library management
- Compatibility with Fast CDR
- Namespace migrations and changes
- Public headers migrated to fastdds
- Public headers moved to private
- API changes
- Struct, Enum, Variable
- Examples
The list below exposes exposes the changes related to the package name, environment variables and other library usages.
-
The CMake project has been renamed from
fastrtps
tofastdds
. -
XML profiles loading environment variable has been renamed to:
FASTDDS_DEFAULT_PROFILES_FILE
. -
The configuration file that Fast DDS looks for to load the profiles has been renamed to
DEFAULT_FASTDDS_PROFILES.xml
. -
XML Schema namespace in
fastdds_profiles.xsd
has been updated to http://www.eprosima.com. -
CMake Windows file names have been changed:
- fastdds.manifest.in
- fastdds-config.cmake
-
The fastrtps.rc file has been renamed as fastdds.rc.
-
Deprecated APIs marked with
FASTDDS_DEPRECATED
andFASTDDS_TODO_BEFORE
macros have been removed.
Fast DDS v3 is only compatible with Fast CDR v2. If you are not using Fast CDR as third-party, please ensure that your local dependencies are up-to-date.
The following list contains the namespace changes and migrations:
- All
eprosima::fastrtps::
namespace references were moved toeprosima::fastdds::
. SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData
,PublicationBuiltinTopicData
andParticipantBuiltinTopicData
were moved fromfastdds::dds::builtin::
tofastdds::dds::
.EventKindBits::
references changed toEventKind::
.EventKindEntityId::
references changed toEntityId::
.StatisticsEventKind::
references changed tostatistics::EventKind::
.Duration_t
andc_TimeInfinite
references were moved todds::
.Time_t.hpp
references were moved fromeprosima::fastdds::
toeprosima::fastdds::dds
.
All the extensions of the headers under include
, which are the public headers that applications can include, have been changed to .hpp
.
Also, the fixed_size_string.hpp
implementation has been migrated from Fast DDS package to Fast CDR.
All the headers in include/fastrtps
were migrated to include/fastdds
.
In particular, the following list includes headers that have been relocated to different paths or whose implementations have been incorporated into other headers.

All the examples have been refactored to follow the same structure:
- File names, guards, and classes follow new format.
- Detailed and well-formed README.md with example explanation.
- Example structured in applications, stopped by
SIGTERM
signal.
Refactor the HelloWorld example with the current new example format. In this hello world example, the key changes are:
- The XML profile is loaded from the environment (if defined), and the
--env
CLI option has been removed. - Add a subscriber implementing the waitsets mechanism.
- Provide XML profiles examples targeting several scenarios (e.g., SampleConfig_Controller, Events, Multimedia).
In this X-Types example, a type is defined at runtime on the publisher side using the Dynamic Types API. The subscriber discovers the type, creates a reader for it, and prints the received data. This example is type compatible with the Hello World example.
In the configuration example, the key changes are:
- Included LargeData as an option (builtin transport argument).
- Included all previous QoS examples:
- Deadline
- Disable positive ACKs
- Lifespan
- Liveliness
- Ownership (strength)
- Partitions
Refactor the ContentFilteresTopicExample example with the current new example format. In this content filter example, the main changes are:
- Added option to select filter type: Default, Custom, or None.
- Customizable lower-bound and upper-bound options of the filter as arguments.
- For the Custom filter, they represent the maximum and minimum values of the message indexes that are filtered out through the filter.
- For the Default filter, they represent the maximum and minimum value message indexes that are read.
Refactor the CustomPayloadPoolExample example with the current new example format.
In this delivery mechanisms example, the key changes are:
- Loans and data-sharing compatible: bounded types, final extensibility.
- Loans mechanism for data management.
- Option to select all delivery mechanisms.
Refactor the DiscoveryServerExample example with the current new example format.
Refactor the FlowControlExample example with the current new example format. In this Flow Controller example, the key changes are:
- Publishers continuously send samples. The user can set the number of samples to send.
- User can set the following QoS and properties for the Flow Controller:
- Scheduler policy used by the flow controller.
- Maximum number of bytes to be sent to the network per period.
- Period of time in milliseconds during which the flow controller is allowed to send the maximum number of bytes per period.
- Property fastdds.sfc.priority.
- Property fastdds.sfc.bandwidth_reservation.
Refactor the Request-Reply example with the current new example format.
Refactor the Static EDP Discovery example with the new example format.
Refactor the SecureHelloWorld example with the current new example format.
Refactor the rtps/Registered example with the current new example format. This RTPS example demonstrates a basic RTPS deployment. The main change is that serialization and deserialization are done with overload methods from fastcdr.
