R: Save a computation instance, given the computation...

saveNewComputation {distcomp} | R Documentation

## Save a computation instance, given the computation definition, associated data and possibly a data file name to use

### Description

The function `saveNewComputation` uses the computation definition to save a new computation instance. This is typically done for every site that wants to participate in a computation with its own local data. The function examines the computation definition and uses the identifier therein to uniquely refer to the computation instance at the site. This function is invoked (maybe remotely) on the opencpu server by `uploadNewComputation` when a worker site is being set up

### Usage

    saveNewComputation(defn, data, dataFileName = NULL)

### Arguments

`defn` | the identifier of an already defined computation
`data` | the (local) data to use
`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
