Navigating to the Sedona Tools view reveals a warning about a missing platform manifest. When you attempt to launch the Kit Manager it fails to load. The following error message displays, “Platform manifest ‘<FileName>’ is not in the platform database. Cannot manage kits”, as shown in Figure A.1.
The term “FileName” shown in the preceding paragraph is not a fixed value, it is a placeholder for the name of the missing
platform manifest that is referenced in the error message.
The error message indicates that the referenced platform manifest for the connected Sedona device is missing from the platform database. A platform manifest is included in a platform archive (PAR). The PAR is required by the Tools. It describes a platform, similar to the way a manifest describes a kit. Vendors should include a PAR as part of their build. For more information on PAR files, see sedonadev.org (http://sedonadev.org/doc/par.html).
This error is caused by either of the following situations:
One or more manifests are missing from the platform database in the Sedona environment being used.
If provisioning through the JACE, there may not be any platform database at all--because a Sedona environment has not been installed on the JACE.
To correction the problem, you need to make a platform connection to the JACE and use the Sedona Environment Manager tool to install the environment files (kits/manifests/PARs) that you need for the Sedona devices on your system. For more information, the "Sedona environment management" section in the, NiagaraAX Sedona Framework Networks Guide.
