How to extract an XIF out of a Lon controller

Issue There may be a situation where the External Interface File (XIF) needs to be extracted out of the controller in order to properly set up the controller in a building automation system.  Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC IA Series, TAC Vista Environment External Interface File (XIF) NodeUtil Loytec XIF Builder Cause These tools will help with the extraction of an XIF file. An XIF file is used to create a Niagara R2 shadow object, a Niagara G3 LMNL file, LonWorks device template, and a SmartStruxure device template.  Resolution The device manufacturer should provide an XIF, and in most cases, a DRF kit as well. The XIF provided by the manufacturer of the controller should be used first but if issues arise it may be required to extract the file from the controller. There are a number of tools available that will create an XIF, but the DRF kit cannot be created by any tool and must be supplied by the manufacturer. This MUST be provided along with the device. The list below covers some of the tools which are available. NodeUtil                          (header: bad,           NVs: ok,                      DMA/File-SCPTs are omitted) Vista's XIF-builder           (header: bad,           NVs: almost ok..,       DMA/File-SCPTs are omitted)  Loytec plugIn                  (does a perfect XIF from a device using Loytec's stack)   NodeUtil is available from the Echelon website (free registration is required) - The NodeUtilLauncher package attached makes it easy to use NodeUtil with Loytec interfaces. Loytec XIF Builder is available from the Loytec website (free registration is required) Using Lonmaker and the XIF Builder. Using NL220 and the XIF Builder. If the uploaded XIF still contains some detailed prompted error, refer to Error displayed when importing a device XIF into SmartStruxure.

When regenerating a WorkPlace Tech application from the uploaded hex file, constant tags containing a [NA] value are not shown.

Issue WorkPlace Tech application was created with constant tags for writing test values to the application.  After uploading a previously downloaded application that contains constant tags with a [NA] value, none of those constant tags are drawn on the regenerated application drawing. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series WorkPlace Tech Tool version 4.x (any release) I/A Series WorkPlace Tech Tool version 5.x.x (any release) Cause The default input value for any unused control object input is a value of [NA].  Since all unused inputs have the implied [NA] constant, they are not drawn on a regenerated WorkPlace Tech application drawing. Resolution This action is by design.  By design, a constant tag can be added to any previously unused control object input and a value written to the controller via that constant tag using the Write to Ram function.  When adding constant tags to inputs, it is not necessary to recompile and download the application unless you desire that the new "Non-NA" value be saved in the application hex file.  With this in mind, remember that constant values are written to an installed application using the "Write to Ram" function will be lost when the controller is rebooted.

Extracting backup file from Jace8000

Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support for assistance. Issue A Jace8000 requires a factory reset via installation clean distribution file but a current backup of the station is not available and the Jace is not communicating via platform or station connection. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment Jace 8000 Cause No current .dist or .bog of the Jace is available. If the Jace has to be reset to factory condition, all data is lost. Resolution If the Jace8000 is running N4, then utilize the USB port to make a backup to a USB stick per the Jace8000 Backup and Restore Guide. If the Jace8000 is configured for AX, the USB backup is not available, an attempt to transfer the station using a File Transfer Protocol utility can be attempted.   Connect to the Jace via serial shell using Putty or a similar program, refer to the System Shell section of the Jace8000 Install and Startup Guide for details.  Once the System Shell menu is displayed, enter 4 to select Enable/Disable SSH/SFTP.  When prompted enter a port number, 22 is typically used for this purpose Using the FTP utility, connect to the Jace.  The following screenshot shows the settings when using FileZilla to do this. Enter the IP address of the Jace, the platform user name and password and the port number you enabled in the Jace and click on Quickconnect. On the Local site (your PC), navigate to C:\Users\your username\Niagar4\stations On the Jace side navigate to /home/niagara/stations Transfer the station folder from the Jace to the Local site.

Tridium Niagara N4 WebBrowser Object Fails to Render Web Site

Issue When trying to embed a website in an N4 Px view, the site renders in Workbench but not in most browsers displaying this error in the browser's developer console; Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series N4 Workbench Web Browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer Cause Most major browsers no longer support  NPAPI/ Java plugins.  Oracle has stated they would remove it in JDK 9  and from Java entirely.  The N4 WebBrowser object under the workbench pallet requires Java to work correctly.  That is why it only works in the Workbench environment, Internet Explorer, and older Oracle Java platforms. Resolution When using the WebBrowser object in Niagara N4. Viewing in the Browser Preview Mode or in an actual browser that doesn't support the Java plugin, the embedded site will not render. The only solution is to use Internet Explorer or the Web Launcher application detailed in the attached document to view the Px.

Jace 8000 NRE default configuration and RAM disk removal

Issue NRE default configuration and RAM disk removal Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series N4.11 Jace 8000 Cause In Niagara 4.10u1 and earlier, the RAM disk was used to temporarily store alarm and history data. During station save, this data was copied from the RAM disk and zipped up, and stored on Flash. In Niagara 4.11, the RAM disk has been removed entirely. This data is now written directly to the Flash. Resolution A change to the JACE-8000 file system has been introduced with the release of Niagara 4.11. The RAM disk was used to store alarm and history data. During station save, this data was copied from the RAM disk and zipped up into a single file that was stored on flash. In Niagara 4.11, the RAM disk has been removed entirely. This data is now written directly to the flash memory. This change has enabled ~384MB of RAM to be freed up to improve performance. Some of the space has been reallocated to code cache, metaspace, and heap space in the 4.11 NRE default settings. Any additional memory space is now available as general free memory. JACE-8000 NRE Memory Default for (older) Niagara 4.10 - sizes in MB: System Reserve Size:          0 Heap Space Size:              360 Meta Space Size:              56 Code Cache Size:              16 RAM Disk Size:                384 Free Memory:                  ~16 JACE-8000 NRE Memory Default for (newer) Niagara 4.11 - sizes in MB: System Reserve Size:          0 Heap Space Size:              384 Meta Space Size:              64 Code Cache Size:              32 RAM Disk Size:                Not present (cannot be created) Free Memory:                  ~352   These changes should be transparent to most users and will provide moderate performance improvements on the JACE-8000.

Tridium N4.11 Upgrade Considerations

Issue Tridium N4.11 Upgrade Considerations  Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series N4.11 Enterprise Server I/A Series N4.11 Jace 8000 Cause Detailed information about N4.11 upgrade prerequisites and best practices  Resolution The following details a set of upgrade considerations and known issues and their workarounds regarding Niagara 4.11. Please review prior to upgrading to Niagara 4.11. Niagara 4.11 and Default NRE Memory Changes: A change to the JACE-8000 file system has been introduced with the release of Niagara 4.11. The RAM disk was used to store alarm and history data. During station save, this data was copied from the RAM disk and zipped up into a single file that was stored on flash. In Niagara 4.11, the RAM disk has been removed entirely. This data is now written directly to the flash memory. This change has enabled ~384MB of RAM to be freed up to improve performance. Some of the space has been reallocated to code cache, metaspace, and heap space in the 4.11 NRE default settings. Any additional memory space is now available as general free memory. These changes should be transparent to most users and will provide moderate performance improvements on the JACE-8000. Prior to upgrading your JACE-8000, please review NRE default configuration changes and RAM disk removal In 4.11. Niagara 4.11 and Third-Party Modules Keeping your Niagara installations safe and secure is our highest priority. In Niagara 4.11, ALL third-party modules must be signed with either a trusted valid certificate or a self-signed certificate to successfully run on a station. This new policy greatly increases the security posture of Niagara installations by making administrators aware of any modules that may have been tampered with, compromised, or derived from untrustworthy sources. Niagara's new signature enforcement feature is being rolled out over multiple Niagara releases. The first iteration was built into release 4.8 to give developers adequate time to make the transition to always signing any third-party modules. Niagara 4.8 produced console and Security Dashboard warnings about unsigned modules but allowed them to run on a station. As of Niagara 4.11, unsigned modules will not execute. For more information, please review the Niagara documentation on Third-Party Module Signing Niagara 4.11 Updated Operating Systems, Browsers, and Databases For the latest information on supported operating systems, please refer to Supported OS and other software in the Niagara 4 Framework Installation Guide. Tridium remains focused on keeping pace with advancing IT infrastructure to enable more efficient, long-term support of each release version. This policy enhances the security posture of a Niagara installation by ensuring that only the most robust, secure operating systems and enterprise applications are compatible with the framework. The list below provides information on what we will be supporting with Niagara 4.11.   OS, Browser, Database Version Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 (64 bit), 7.7 Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS – Desktop & Server Windows Server 2019 (64 bit), Server 2016 (64 bit), Windows 10 (64 bit) VMWare ESXi 6.7 Oracle Database 19.3, 18.3, ... 12.2/12.1 MySQL Database 8 MS SQL Database 2019, 2017, 2016 Browsers Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge Mobile Browsers Safari (iOS 12, 13), Chrome (Android 8, 9, 10) As with all software products, we must also deprecate support for some operating systems and enterprise applications.  Nevertheless, you can be confident that the above list will handle your needs moving forward. Using Web Launcher with Niagara 4.11 Web Launcher 21.4.1 was recently revamped for Niagara 4.11 to include essential software dependencies updates along with critical defect fixes. This version of Web Launcher has Java version 8 update 311 and certificate management has been updated to work with Niagara 4.11 along with any legacy or prospective release. Prior to using Web Launcher with Niagara 4.11, customers should update Web Launcher accordingly (see steps below). How to update Web Launcher? Web Launcher has a feature to check for updates over the internet and prompts the user when a new version is available in the cloud. However, the existing version of Web Launcher has a bug that prevents a smooth update. Users will be required to perform a fresh install by downloading the latest version from the cloud via the station web Login page. Click on the Niagara Web Launcher Installer link on the station's Web Launcher Web Page, which can be reached via the link on the Login page itself. Once the download is successful, click on the msi file and follow the installation wizard. You do not have to uninstall the older version. The new installation will automatically update to the latest version. Niagara 4.11 Release Notes: The release notes for Niagara 4.11 are located  here.
