As shown in Figure 2, the Commissioning Wizard is a right-click option on any connected platform in the Nav tree. You can also launch the wizard from the Platform Adminstration view.
Use this wizard when installing a new JACE, as it provides a “checklist” method to perform essential (and often “one time”) platform tasks. Also use this wizard whenever you upgrade the core software in a JACE, at some future time. See “Upgrading a JACE” in the Platform Guide.
Starting in Workbench AX-3.5, significant changes were made in the platform Commissioning Wizard. For a summary of these changes,
see the next section Important Commissioning Wizard notes.
-
If you were familiar with the Commissioning Wizard in Workbench AX-3.4 and earlier, note these changes starting in AX-3.5:
-
Steps were reordered. For example, the license step “Request or install software licenses” is now first. This helps prevent the scenario of installing core software above the supported version in the JACE’s license, where as a result the station cannot start. Now, the wizard cannot complete (and start execution) unless the license in the JACE is at the required version.
-
The wizard no longer performs core software (dist file) installation first, separately, where after the JACE reboots and remaining steps execute in a second sequence, ending in another reboot. Now, all wizard steps execute in a single sequence, meaning that the JACE reboots only once.
-
-
Throughout the wizard’s dialogs, use the buttons and , as needed, to retrace (or skip) steps. Also, the button exits the wizard after your confirmation—no operations are performed as a result.
-
Before committing to the final sequence of steps, the wizard provides a summary for you to review.
