In order for FIN Stack to be able to communicate with Niagara, the user will have to upload the nHaystack jar modules. Below steps will help the user accomplish this part.

  1. Download latest nhaystack.jar module(s) below depending on version of Niagara you have.
    1. AX - AX has only one module nhaystack (download).
    2. N4 - N4 has two modules nhaystack-rt and nhaystack-wb (download).
  2. Drag the nhaystack.jar into your modules folder (you may need to close/stop your station/workbench to add them)
  3. Drag the NHaystackService from your Palette into your Services
  4. Restart your station because its required for the changes to take effect

  5. Once station is running, run the Initialize Haystack, Rebuild Cache, and Remove Broken Refs actions on the NHaystack service.


    Note

    You can test the connection by typing <niagaraStationIp>/haystack/about into your browser
