Transferring station
After clicking Finish in the “Modules step” or “Review step” of the Station Transfer Wizard, the station copy process begins and updates appear
in a this dialog, as shown below.
Figure 96. Station Transfer Wizard, Transferring station (copy) process
Depending on the type of copy, the following operations may be included in this process:
- If installing a station (copy Workbench User Home-to-daemon User Home):
- Stop all stations — whenever modules require to be installed.
- Stop one station — any JACE where same station is being reinstalled.
- Delete station(s) — if you chose to delete station in the “Disposition step”, or if a station needs to be deleted to stay under maximum number of stations (only one for any JACE platform)
- Transfer files — includes station and module files (actual copy portion).
- Start station — if a station had required to be stopped (module installation), or if you chose to start the station in the “Station settings step”.
- If backing up a station (copy daemon User Home-to-Workbench User Home):
- Save station — whenever remote station is currently running.
- Transfer files — includes station files (actual copy portion).
NOTE: A popup explaining that the existing station must be saved (if a backup) or stopped (if installing) may appear for a few seconds. Following, and during execution of the various operations, a Cancel button is available. If you click Cancel before all operations complete, the installation (or backup) is not valid.
After all operations are finished, a Close button is available and the last update in the dialog is “Transfer complete.” Click Close to exit the wizard.
By default, after installing a station, the wizard exits with a popup asking if you wish to switch to the Application Director platform view.
Figure 97. Switch to Application Director popup
Because it is a good idea to observe a station’s output upon first startup, you typically select Yes. To always automatically switch to the Application Director after installing a station, click the checkbox to “Don’t ask again” before selecting Yes. Then, you do not see this popup again.
