About app file associations

An important aspect of offline engineering involves app file “associations” with Sedona device components which, among other things, enables offline point discovery. With Sedona TXS-1.2, all Sedona environment files (kits, manifests, and platform archives) and Sedona app files for Sedona devices networked under a JACE are stored and maintained on that JACE platform. Having all these files on the JACE allows many functions to be initiated from the JACE station, such as Sedona provisioning and Sedona point discovery which is done from the stored Sedona app file. Also, having associated Apps on the JACE allows them to be included as part of the station backup. The act of getting a device’s app file onto the JACE and connected with a Sedona device component that represents a specific physical Sedona device is called association. For more details, see “Sedona device Association” in the Sedona Framework TXS-1.2 Networks Guide.

NoteWhen duplicating devices that have app file associations, you must correct the deviceName and appName properties within the duplicated devices. For details, see About duplicating devices that have app file associations.
