Enable the JoinProfile for the Supervisor NiagaraStation

Do this for each JACE station that is subordinate to the Supervisor.

To enable the JoinProfile for a Supervisor NiagaraStation

In the subordinate (JACE) station, expand its NiagaraNetwork, then the NiagaraStation or that represents the Supervisor.
Double-click its JoinProfile component to see its property sheet.
Set its Enabled property to true (Figure 3), and click Save.

Providing the JACE is configured to use SSL for station connections, that is Foxs (Fox SSL), an option available starting in AX-3.7, change the “Default Subordinate Use Fox SSL” property from the default false to true, and click Save. This property is shown encircled above, but has not been changed yet.

Note that Foxs is not supported in JACE-2 or -4/5 series hosts (JACEs that use the IBM J9 JVM), so if working in one of these stations, this property must be left false. Typically, if the JACE is configured for SSL, you have it opened now in Workbench using a “Station SSL Connection” (Foxs, showing icon ).
Complete details on SSL in AX-3.7 and later hosts are in the NiagaraAX SSL Connectivity Guide.

Edits to other properties in this JoinProfile are often optional. In general, usage often applies to very large systems. For more details on all JoinProfile properties, see Editing the Join Profile.

Note Starting in AX-3.7u1, when issuing a Join from a subordinate JACE station, and that station does not already exist in the Supervisor, the “Default Subordinate User Password” property must be configured with a valid password for the selected “Default Subordinate User”. If no valid user and password has been entered the Join will fail due to authentication errors.

After enabling the JoinProfile, the next task to do in this station is Verify and edit the station profile.bog file.
