Creating a listener port for a extended port (IDL code)
You can create a listener port for an Extended Port (Consumer) or Extended Port (Publisher). The listener port is a Service named Status that uses the ConnectorStatusListener interface as its type.
To create a listener port for an extended port (consumer):
On the appropriate Internal Component Diagram, right-click the Extended Port (Consumer) for which you want to create a listener port, and then click Add Connector Listener.
To create a listener port for an extended port (publisher):
On the appropriate Internal Component Diagram, right-click the Extended Port (Publisher) for which you want to create a listener port, and then click Add Connector Listener.
