About the Kit Manager view

When launched, Kit Manager analyzes the kits installed on a device. A progress bar displays in the view during this analysis. Afterwards, the Kit Manager view displays featuring the Kits table and Verifier table, as shown in Figure 9.

The Kits table shows the schema or collection of “kits” used by the application currently running on the device. Each row in the Kits table represents a kit. Also shown for each kit, is the specific version installed on the device, the latest version downloaded to either the Workbench (if managing the device through a Sox session) or to the JACE (if managing the device through the Sedona Device in the Sedona Network), as well as the individual actions available for the kit.

In the Kits table, a kit icon with a padlock () shown to the left of the kit name indicates that the kit is required by the application running on the device and may not be deleted. An unchecked box to the left of a kit name indicates that the kit is compatible and may be installed. A checked box indicates a kit that is installed, but not used by the current Sedona app. Kits not used by the current app may be uninstalled, if desired. Kits that are not supported by the device appear dimmed on a gray background. The Action column describes those kits as “Not supported”.

The Verifier table shows kit dependency errors when they occur. If a selected kit requires the presence of an uninstalled kit in order to run on the device, the missing dependency will be listed in the Verifier table, as shown in Figure 10.

NoteWhen a kit dependency error occurs, the Kit Manager will NOT automatically select a missing kit (even if it is present in the Sedona environment and available for installation) since doing so may cause kits to be deployed to the device that the user did not intend. The missing kit, if not present in the Workbench, must be obtained from the vendor.

Figure 10. Verifier table shows that removing the types kit causes a missing dependency for the hvac kit.

The actions that are available for each installed kit can be viewed in the Action drop-down list which you access by clicking a kit’s Action value, as shown in Figure 11.

The Action drop-down list options can be one or more of the following:

The newer/older kit version levels shown in the Action drop-down menu are available in the Sedona environment. They are stored in the SEDONAHOME\kits directory.

If you have older kits in the current app, you may want to upgrade all kits to the newer versions available in your Workbench. You can easily do this by right-clicking within the Kits table to display the drop-down list shown in Figure 12, and then select the option to Upgrade all kits to latest version.
