Join from the Supervisor

A Join from the Supervisor is one of two ways to perform an export tag Join. The other way is to Join from the subordinate (JACE) station.

To Join from the Supervisor

  1. In Workbench, open the Supervisor station.

  2. In the Nav tree, expand its Config Drivers/NiagaraNetwork container, to reveal subordinate (JACE) or stations.

  3. Right-click a station and select Actions->Join.

    You can also issue a Join for selected station(s) in the Supervisor’s Station Manager view, as well as from the property sheet of any NiagaraStation that represents a subordinate (JACE).

    The Join silently executes, except for a brief Job popup “Supervisor Join” notification near your PC’s system tray area.

  4. After issuing a Join, to see Job Log details in the Supervisor station, do the following:

    1. In the Nav tree, expand the Services folder.

    2. Double-click the JobService for the Job Service Manager view.

    3. In the row for any “Supervisor Join” job, click the double-arrow details control.

      A popup Job Log dialog lists all operations performed in the Join.

    NoteStarting in AX-3.7, “Fox SSL” may be used in connections between the JACE stations and the Supervisor, depending on configuration. In this case, note that initial Join attempts may fail due to “non-approved certificate host name validation”. If so, you will see the appropriate errors in a Join’s job log. You must manually approve certificates between the client and server before Joins can succeed. Typically you do this from the “Allowed Hosts” tab of the “Certificate Management” view (on platform service: CertManagerService) in the stations. For complete details on AX-3.7 and later SSL, refer to the NiagaraAX SSL Connectivity Guide.
