This procedure describes the steps to remove the local backup service, and copy the cloud components to the station.
Prerequisites:
- Platform connection to the device which is already commissioned with cloud-related software
- The cloudBackup and cloudSentienceConnector palettes
Perform the following steps:
- In a platform connection to the device, open the Application Director and start the station.
- Connect to the station and in the Nav tree, expand the station Services node and delete the local BackupService (which is
included in the installation by default).
NOTE: Always remove the local Backup Service when installing the Cloud Backup Service. The reason for this is that station operation
depends upon interacting with a single backup service. The Cloud Backup Service provides all of the behavior of the local
Backup Service, including local and provisioned backups, in addition to backing up to the Niagara Cloud. Leaving the local
Backup Service in place when installing the Cloud Backup Service may cause confusion for users and yield unintended results
when accessing and performing backups.
- Open each of the cloud-related palettes and drag the following components to the station’s Services container.
- CloudConnector (from the cloudSentienceConnector palette)
- CloudBackupService (from the cloudBackup palette)
The station is set up to connect to
Niagara Cloud Services. You can proceed to register the device or if the device is already registered you can proceed to make cloud backups.
