If you are familiar with Sedona TXS 1.1, you may find this summary of changes useful. Most notably, the name for the tools has changed from Sox Tools to “Sedona Tools”. One of the individual tools had a name change as well, App Manager is now named “Application Manager”.
One of the major enhancements in Sedona Framework TXS 1.2, is the added ability of the Niagara station backup to include Sedona device files such as App, Kit and PAR files. This ensures the presence of all of the files that your application requires to run if deployed on another device.
Another enhancement in TXS 1.2 allows you to provision a device through the JACE via a Sedona Network or Sedona Jen6lp Network. The provisioning tools are available under each networked device, as shown in Figure 1 (left side).
Provisioning a device through the JACE requires you to first configure the JACE controller via a platform connection, using
the "Sedona Environment Manager" view.
A few changes to the provisioning tools have been introduced for the TXS 1.2 release to better allow the tools to operate without knowledge of whether you are provisioning from a Sedona environment in a Sox session or from a networked station. The tools that perform the get/put operations, (Application Manager) and the backup/restore operations (Backup/Restore Tool) have been modified to standardize the store and source locations shown for the files during these operations.
To provision a Sedona device when connected to a station on the JACE, using the Sedona Tools under a networked device, the saved apps (saved via the get application operation) and backups are always saved in the file space for that station.
The location of the saved files follows a fixed convention, starting with a ^sedona/store/SedonaNetwork_Name/SedonaDevice_Name
location followed by either the /apps
or /backups
folder depending on which operation you are performing. This convention ensures that the apps and backups are always available
and included in a station copy.When Sox tunneling through the JACE to a device using Niagara Workbench,
or if using Sedona Workbench to make a direct Sox connection to a device, app save (get) and backup locations are local to
your Workbench PC. In this case, you can use the standard Directory Chooser to change to another local store or source location
for the saved app or backup.
