createWorkerInstance {distcomp} | R Documentation

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

### Description

The function `createWorkerInstance` uses a definition identified by defnId to create the appropriate object instance. The instantiated object is assigned the instanceId and saved under the dataFileName if the latter is specified. This instantiated object may change state between iterations when a computation executes

### Usage

    createWorkerInstance(
      defnId,
      instanceId,
      pubkey_bits = NULL,
      pubkey_n = NULL,
      den_bits = NULL,
      dataFileName = NULL
    )

### Arguments

`defnId` | the identifier of an already defined computation
`instanceId` | an indentifier to use for the created instance
`pubkey_bits` | number of bits for public key
`pubkey_n` | the `n` for public key
`den_bits` | the number of bits for the denominator
`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
