Integration is made of repetitive tasks to propagate a working configuration to others elements. Let's face it, as it's exciting to get something working the first time, it's rather time consuming and boring to make the rest working too. This is why, we introduced this week at the Niagara Forum, a new service to increase your productivity, allowing you to create and modify stations at an unprecedented speed, no matter the station and without leaving a foot print in it.

So let's dig into these new features.

 

Excel is your new friend

Doing the same things multiple times, sometimes a few, sometimes a hundred, is the daily routine for most of the System Integrators. This is why we created the conept of macros in Niagara: you record your modification once on one equipment, folder... It creates a macro made of all of your modifications, so you can replay it on a selection of components.

  • It records every operation you do in the Workbench (expect except the px)
  • It's station independent, macros are stored in your Workbench files, meaning, you can reuse the macro on in any station
  • Macros are made of Niagara blocks so you can edit them very easily, make create more complex scenarios, remove an operation etc...


Create Utilities to configure a station, change a logic multiple times, repair mistakes...

Active-Framework is getting more and more stable. A few issues have been solved with the UI and few missing features have been implemented in the SFormatfixed.
