Assign the result of the evaluation of an expression to a symbol the DataSHIELD R session The assignment expression must satisfy the data repository's DataSHIELD configuration.

dsAssignExpr(conn, symbol, expr, async = TRUE)

Arguments

conn

An object that inherits from DSConnection-class.

symbol

Name of the R symbol.

expr

A R expression with allowed assign functions calls.

async

Whether the result of the call should be retrieved asynchronously. When TRUE (default) the calls are parallelized over the connections, when the connection supports that feature, with an extra overhead of requests.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
con <- dsConnect(DSOpal::Opal(), "server1",
  username = "dsuser", password = "password", url = "https://opal-demo.obiba.org")
dsAssignExpr(con, "C", as.symbol("c(1, 2, 3)"))
dsDisconnect(con)
}
