The AX-3.5 (or earlier) station to be migrated must meet the following prerequisites:
There is only one network (SedonaNetwork) in the station.
There is only one type of SedonaDevice under the SedonaNetwork, either Ethernet/WiFi or wireless Jennic-based.
If you have station with a SedonaNetwork that has both Ethernet/WiFi and wireless Jennic-based device types under it, you cannot use the tool to migrate that station. You should manually recreate
a separate station for each of those device types.
The migration tool runs in the AX-3.6 or later Workbench console window. When the migration command executes, the migration tool inspects the station to determine which network type is required for the new migrated station. Starting in the Sedona TXS-1.1 release, a separate network type is used for each device type. The SedonaNetwork type, with SedonaDevices, is used for Ethernet/WiFi devices only. The SedonaJen6lpNetwork type, with SedonaJen6lpDevices, is used for wireless Jennic-based devices only, and the “Jennic6LowpanBridgeService” is no longer used. Once the network type is determined, the migration tool creates a backup of the station database named “preMigrate_config.bog”, and a new migrated station database named, “config.bog”.
You should migrate the AX-3.5 (or earlier) station before upgrading the JACE to AX-3.6 or AX-3.7. Then have that converted
station ready to reinstall when upgrading the JACE via the Commissioning Wizard.
Migrating a station
Use the NiagaraAX Station Migration Tool to migrate a station from Niagara 3.5 or earlier to Niagara 3.6 or later.
Copy the station database (config.bog) from the AX-3.5 (or earlier) JACE, and paste it into the station’s folder in the AX-3.7 or later Workbench enabled for Sedona Framework TXS-1.2, or AX-3.6 or later Workbench enabled for Sedona Framework TXS-1.1.
From that Workbench computer, open a Niagara console window.For example, from Windows: Start > All Programs > Niagara AX 3.6.n > ConsoleOr, from the normal Workbench menu: Window > Console
Enter the following command:
nre sedonanet:com.tridium.sedonanet.migrate.MigrateBog [path\to\config.bog]
For example, a station folder “SedJenTest” with config.bog is copied under !stations\.From the default Niagara console prompt,
the following command is entered:
nre sedonanet:com.tridium.sedonanet.migrate.MigrateBog stations\SedJenTest\config.bog
.
The command executes and the new migrated config.bog
file will be in the same location.The original config.bog file is renamed “preMigrate_config.bog
”, and is also in the same location.
Figure 1 shows the NiagaraAX Station Migration Tool being used in the Niagara console window. and the migration results in the Workbench Nav tree (under “My File System”).
Figure 2 below shows the migration results in the Workbench Nav tree (under “My File System”).
Figure 3 below shows the migration results in the Workbench Nav tree (under “My File System”) for the SedonaJen6lpNetwork type (for wireless Jennic-based devices).
If the migrated station has the SedonaJen6lpNetwork type, after reinstalling the station use the NiagaraAX platform Software
Manager to remove the “Jennic” and “platJennic” software modules since they are no longer needed.
Figure 4 below shows the migration results in the Workbench Nav tree (under “My File System”) for the SedonaNetwork type (for Ethernet/WiFi devices).
After migrating the station, run the platform Commissioning Wizard (from the Niagara Workbench enabled for Sedona Framework TXS) to upgrade the JACE, and select the “Install Station” step to reinstall the converted station. For details on using the platform tools, refer to the NiagaraAX Platform Guide.
