Daml Ledger Admin

When you select Settings by clicking on the gear icon on any Daml deployment you can interact with the Daml ledger via either the Daml Archives or the Daml Parties tab.

Daml Archives

A Daml Archive (Dar) file consists of one or more packages. Dar files can be uploaded using this tab.

Click the Upload button.

Click and select or drag a dar file onto the dialog. Sextant will immediately begin uploading this dar file into the ledger:

Once this process is complete it will return to the package listing, now with the new packages listed.

Daml Parties

IMPORTANT At this time, it is required that Sextant be responsible for JWT token generation in order to use Sextant to create and manage parties as well as generate tokens.
