Changing a module’s runtime profile

Software modules in Niagara 4 are distributed with a runtime profile type, designated by a suffix on each module’s .jar file name. In the refactoring of modules, many have multiple runtime profiles.

You are working in Workbench and are connected to the remote controller platform.
  1. Expand the Platform node in the Nav tree or double-click Platform.
    The contents of the Nav Container View opens in the tree or in the main view.
  2. Double-click the Platform Administration.
    The Platform Administration view opens.
  3. Click Configure Runtime Profiles.
    The Update Enabled Runtime Profiles wizard opens.

    The figure above shows typical settings for controllers in the initial Niagara 4 release. For N4.0, the selection of UX automatically includes WB, and vice-versa. This is likely to change in a future release.

  4. Select the profiles to update and remove and click Next.
    A confirmation window with a Finish button lists the added or removed module names.

    • If you enabled additional profiles, say, a module goes from rt only to rt, ux and wb, additional modules will need to be installed in the controller.

    • If you disabled currently enabled runtime profiles, say, from rt, ux and wb to just rt, some modules will need to be uninstalled, as they are no longer supported.

      Note: Niagara 4 does not permit you to disable currently enabled runtime profiles to only rt and ux.
  5. To confirm the configuration, click Finish.
    The wizard adds or removes the modules.
  6. To complete the process, click Close.
    The wizard stops and restarts a running station.
