In distcomp: Computations over Distributed Data without Aggregation

Given the definition identifier of an object, instantiate and store object in workspace

Description

This function uses an identifier (defnId) to locate a stored definition in the workspace to create the appropriate object instance. The instantiated object is assigned the instanceId and saved under the dataFileName if the latter is not NULL. This instantiated object may change state between iterations when a computation executes

Usage

createNCPInstance(
  name,
  ncpId,
  instanceId,
  pubkey_bits,
  pubkey_n,
  den_bits,
  dataFileName = NULL
)

Arguments

name	identifying the NC party
ncpId	the id indicating the NCP definition
instanceId	an indentifier to use for the created instance
pubkey_bits	the public key number of bits
pubkey_n	the pubkey n
den_bits	the denominator number of bits for for rational approximations
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
