For Each Station Stage
This component contains the sequence of provisioning steps that can be added in the middle pane (To run for each station) of the Niagara Network Job Builder or the Niagara Network Prototype View.
Figure 33. For Each Station Stage properties
This component has properties that control the execution of provisioning jobs executed across a set of remote devices. You can set the following properties through the Property Sheet view on the For Each Station Stage component.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stage Name | read-only | Specifies whether a provisioning job step is added to the “initial” job stage or to “for each station” stage. |
| Stage State | read-only | Specifies the state of the job stage. |
| Steps | folder | This folder contains the various added job steps. |
| Device States | folder | This folder contains the various added device stages. |
| Run Devices In Parallel | true (default) or false |
To run provisioning jobs for each remote device serially (one at a time), change this value to false. When set to false forces all job steps to complete for one remote device before proceeding to run the same job steps on the next remote device.
This can take considerably longer to run, but uses less system resources on the Supervisor.
|
| Force Unsafe Parallel Execution | true or false (default)
|
To force parallel execution of job step that are not always considered “safe”, change this value to true. When set to true, this allows parallel execution of job steps considered “unsafe”. Examples of these steps include those that might cause
the system to reboot, like installing or updating software, or renaming the station.
CAUTION: This is particularly important for IP devices configured in a daisy chained network topology, where rebooting the system causes
the network segment to be disabled for some time. This will likely cause communication disruptions between the Supervisor
and remote devices, which would make some provisioning jobs fail to complete.
