Kit Manager error message for missing PAR


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).

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.
