Provisioning data files

Provisioning creates a number of files on the Supervisor PC.

Two types of files back up provisioning jobs:

Batch job log files and batch step log files are binary records of each completed provisioning batch job and step. The system writes these files under the Supervisor’s Station directory using the following convention:
```
 ^batchJob/logs/batchJob_type/timestamp.bjl (or .bjsl)
```
Station files are .dist files and software snapshots. The system writes these files under the station’s Files node.
To see the station files, station users require admin-level Read (R) permissions on a category assigned to the provisioningNiagara subfolder.
Backup .dist files are written under the Supervisor’s Station directory using the following convention:
```
^provisioningNiagara/stationData/station/backups/backup_station_timestamp.dist
```
Snapshots of the software installed on the hosts running the stations are written under the Supervisor’s Station directory using this convention:
```
^provisioningNiagara/stationData/station/software/snapshot.bog
```

CAUTION: Do not manually delete any provisioning files from the Supervisor PC, for example, by using Windows Explorer, or in Workbench by using the My File System node in the Nav tree. Instead, use the Dispose button on various provisioning views. This button is on the Niagara Network Job List and Prototype Job List view. When you dispose of a job, the system automatically deletes all its related batch job log files and provisioning station data files.
