Manifest Manager procedures

The following procedures describe how to transfer Manifest files from one database to another using the Manifest Manager and how to “Generate” a manifest file from an available kit file.

Transfer Manifest files

To transfer manifest files from one database to the other, do the following:

  1. From the Workbench main menu, do one of the following steps, based on the platform you are targeting:

    • Workbench

      From the Workbench main menu, select ToolsSedona Manifest Manager.

      The Manifest Manager displays the Web Database in the left pane and the Local Database (Workbench) in the right pane.

    • Remote JACE

      NoteThis applies only to NiagaraAX Workbench enabled for Sedona Framework TXS.

      With the JACE opened in Workbench (Fox connection), navigate to display a Sedona network (SedonaNetwork or SedonaJen6lpNetwork) in the nav tree. Right-click on the desired network and select ViewsManifest Manager from the popup menu.

      The Manifest Manager displays the Local Database (you can select Web Database) in the left pane and Station Database (JACE) in the right pane.

  2. Select one or more Manifest folders in the database that you want to use for the manifest source. For example, if you want to copy manifest files from your local database out to your remote JACE, select one or more Manifest titles under the “Local Database” column using the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiples.

    The Manifests contained in all selected folders display in the Checksums column.

  3. In the Checksums column, verify that the correct manifest file(s) are displayed, select the desired source files, then click the appropriate Transfer button.

    The Copy Manifests dialog box displays, listing all the files that are to be copied.

    NoteIf a duplicate file is already on the target database, “(Overwrite)” is appended to the file name to let you know that the file you are transferring will overwrite the existing file.

  4. In the Copy Manifests dialog box, click the OK button.

    The manifest file is transferred. Select the targeted Manifest folder name to display the transferred file in the Checksums column of the database.

Generate Manifest files

You can generate manifests from Sedona Framework kits if you are working in the Local Database (Manifest Manager for Workbench).

If you have a specific Sedona Framework kit in your kit database but the manifest from that kit is not yet in your manifest database, you can generate a manifest from the kit as follows:

  1. From Workbench’s Sedona Manifest Manager view, in the Local Database Manifests column, right-click one or more kit titles and select Generate From Kits from the popup menu.

    The Message dialog box displays to indicate the success or failure of your manifest generation. If the process is successful, the manifest is generated and is now in the Manifests folder.

  2. In the Message dialog box, click the OK button. The dialog box clears and the manifest file displays in the Checksums column of the Local Database pane.
