For Each Station Stage
This component contains the sequence of provisioning steps that can be added in the middle pane (To run for each station) of the Niagara Network Job Builder or the Niagara Network Prototype View.
This component has properties that control the execution of provisioning jobs executed across a set of remote devices. You can set the following properties through the Property Sheet view on the For Each Station Stage component.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stage Name | read-only | Specifies whether a provisioning job step is added to the “initial” job stage or to “for each station” stage. |
| Stage State | read-only | Specifies the state of the job stage. |
| Steps | folder | This folder contains the various added job steps. |
| Device States | folder | This folder contains the various added device stages. |
| Run Devices In Parallel | true (default) or false | To run provisioning jobs for each remote device serially (one at a time), change this value to false. When set to false forces all job steps to complete for one remote device before proceeding to run the same job steps on the next remote device. This can take considerably longer to run, but uses less system resources on the Supervisor. |
| Force Unsafe Parallel Execution | true or false (default) | To force parallel execution of job step that are not always
considered “safe”, change this value to true. When set to true, this allows parallel execution
of job steps considered “unsafe”. Examples of these
steps include those that might cause the system to reboot, like installing
or updating software, or renaming the station. CAUTION: This is particularly important for IP devices configured in a daisy
chained network topology, where rebooting the system causes the network
segment to be disabled for some time. This will likely cause communication
disruptions between the Supervisor and remote devices, which would
make some provisioning jobs fail to complete. |
