This section provides quick steps on using the Sedona Environment Manager platform view, when platform-connected to a AX-3.7 or later JACE with Sedona Framework TXS-1.2 modules.
This is a late step in a process that includes prerequisites. See JACE workflow, including bulleted NOTES in process step 4. For the rationale behind using this platform view, see Sedona environment management.
To install Sedona environment files to a remote host
Perform the following from your Sedona TXS-1.2-enabled Niagara Workbench PC or Supervisor:
Open a platform connection to the JACE.
Double-click the Sedona Environment Manager to open this platform view.
Initially, the right-side of the view shows the three folders on the JACE empty—you can tell because there is no “expand” control to the left of each folder.
In your Local Sedona environment (left-side), click to expand folders to see hierarchical subfolders with file items of interest. Click items to toggle between marked and unmarked for transfer, as:
manifest file marked or
manifest file unmarked.
kit file marked or
kit file unmarked.
platform file marked or
platform file unmarked.
Note while any file is marked, the “transfer to remote” button becomes enabled:
You can also mark (select) entire folders of files to transfer, at any hierarchical level.
To do this, right-click any folder for a popup menu.
Click Mark all child files to select all, or
Unmark all child files to deselect all.
Other menu options work as titled ( Mark missing files is most useful after transferring files).
When done marking files in your Local Sedona environment, click (transfer to remote).
A popup Transferring Files dialog shows progress and details on files being sent (copied).
The transfer finishes with a brief Loading Sedona Environment popup, where after the remote Sedona environment tree (right-side) appears with expandable folders.
Expand folders on the remote host’s (right-side) Sedona environment to see copied file items.
Repeat, as needed, to select additional files to transfer from your local Sedona environment to the remote JACE’s Sedona environment. You can do as many transfers as needed.
JACE controllers have a finite limit of file handles. In general, it is best not to transfer over your entire local (Workbench)
Sedona environment, but only those files needed by the networked Sedona device types.
Other controls in the Sedona Environment Manager can also be useful. For example, a few are described as follows:
To filter/find specific manifests or kits (on either side), click in the filter box at top ,
and type in characters that must be included in file names for them to display, for example:
se
would limit to manifests and kits folders for pulse
and serial
, and possibly others. You could also use this for a “checksum” string portion, for example: 8d
or 6a6
Click the clear button at the end of the filter box to remove the filter (all folders display).
To delete specific files (on either side), click one or more to select, then click the delete button at the bottom of that side. A popup confirmation dialog appears—if you click OK, file(s) are deleted.
Be careful with delete, particularly on your Local Sedona environment side! There is no undo.
For details on all aspects of this platform view, see Sedona Environment Manager.
Also, we recommend you adjust your station’s BackupService to support Sedona device backups done from networked devices’ “Sedona Tools”, which get written to the station’s file space. See Editing the station’s BackupService for a procedure.
