ros2 topic pub issue with external DDS

edit

Hi,

I have installed ros2 dashing from source(which supports fast-RTPS by default) on windows and now i am trying to switch to OpenSplice DDS. For this i have installed corresponding DDS, rmw_opensplice_cpp and rosidl_typesupport_opensplice_cpp in a separate directory (outside of ros2 dashing directory). Here are the steps i followed to enable the OpenSplice DDS.

1. call setup.bat from installed version of ros2 dashing.
2. set OSPL_HOME to point to OpenSplice installation (OSPL_HOME=D:\dds\libopensplice69\HDE\x86_64.win64) .
3. Do colcon build on the directory where all the above OpenSplice DDS files are present along with a builtin_interfaces message package.
4. call setup.bat in the current install directory, where builtin_interfaces, rmw_opensplice_cpp and rosidl_typesupport_opensplice_cpp are installed.
5. set RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_opensplicedds_cpp
6. ros2 topic pub /test builtin_interfaces/msg/Time {}

The above command fails with the error:

Could you shed some light on what might have gone wrong here? I want to keep rmw_opensplice_cpp and rosidl_typesupport_opensplice_cpp as part of client installations. Also, what exactly are the required packages to build and make this publishing a message (builtin_interfaces/msg/Time in this example) with external DDS(like opensplice, RTI connext, coreDx, rmw_dps,etc) work.

Thanks,
