Developing a platform

This procedure describes how to compile a Sedona platform archive and import it to your Workbench installation.

  1. In your Sedona development environment, create a platform XML file for a given platform and run sedonac to compile it, specifying the path to the preferred staging directory, for example, [stage].

  2. Run platArchive -s [stage]/.par to create the .par file.

    NoteThe default location is [stage]/.par/out.

  3. In your Workbench installation, run the Sedona Installer tool and select the Import Sedona environment files option.

  4. Select the specific .par just created, then click Next and Import.

  5. If desired, you can transfer the .par to a JACE using the Sedona Environment Manager to make it available for use by the Sox Gateway tools.
