provisioningNiagara-StationSoftwareView

This displays the current state of the station’s software modules. It is the default view for the Software provisioning extension.

The Station Software Manager closely resembles the Software Manager that is available with a direct platform connection to a host. For more information about this view, refer to the Software Manager section in the Niagara Platform Guide. Only elements that differ from that view are explained here.

When you access this view, the system takes a snapshot of the station’s current software configuration and displays it as a table. Other differences from the Software Manager view in a direct platform connection are summarized as follows:

  • The Software Manager provides columns for Installed Version and Available Version. These identify the version of each module installed on the station and available in Workbench. The Station Software View has equivalent columns labeled Station Version and Supervisor Version.

  • Instead of a Commit button that starts the software installation by running it in Workbench, the Station Software View has an Execute Job button. To submit the installation as a provisioning batch job in the Supervisor station, you click Execute Job, which opens the Niagara Network Job View.
