PlatformServices items of interest for JACE commissioning

For any QNX-based N4 JACE, the following child platform services in the station’s PlatformServices are of chief importance when commissioning a new controller.
  • CertManagerService — For management of PKI certificate “stores” and/or allowed host exceptions, used in certificate-based SSL (TLS) connections between the station/platform and other hosts. For details, see the Niagara Station Security Guide.
  • DataRecoveryService — For operation/monitoring of the ongoing SRAM backups for most (SRAM-equipped) JACE controllers. It includes a “Service Enabled” configuration property, such that you can disable it, if needed. This is viable only if a backup battery is installed, or the unit is powered by an external UPS. For details.

Also, you may wish to review the parent container’s PlatformServices properties and adjust, if needed.
