provisioning

Automating the tasks required to maintain host controllers in a station’s NiagaraNetwork. For the most part, these are platform tasks—that is, they would otherwise done using Workbench and an individual platform connection directly to a remote host.

Using a provisioning robot you can run custom program code in the station running on each host. The stations’ ProgramServices run the custom code. The Supervisor station performs all these tasks, modeled in the Supervisor station as provisioning jobs.

Outside of provisioning, you must perform similar tasks manually using full Workbench.
