Supporting components in the provisioningNiagara module

The purpose of these components is to provide support and services to other components, job steps, and views.

InstallableSummary (provisioningNiagara-InstallableSummary)
This component facilitates the creation of a list of software files under the !sw directory of the Supervisor host, and displays the files under the SoftwareContainer of the NiagaraNetwork’s ProvisioningNwExt. This container contains all installed software modules, including modules added to the registry after the initial scan. To manage this container you use the Supervisor Software Manager.
InstallableSpec (provisioningNiagara-InstallableSpec)
These components are children of InstallableSummary components. They occupy the lowest level under the SoftwareContainer in the NiagaraNetwork’s ProvisioningNwExt component.
InstallStep (provisioningNiagara-InstallStep)
This component supports the Install backupdist steps the system creates when you copy an existing backup .dist file into the middle job step pane (To run for each station) in either the Niagara Network Job Builder or the Niagara Network Prototype View.
NiagaraNetworkJob (provisioningNiagara-NiagaraNetworkJob)
This component facilitates the Niagara Network Job View, which lists the job stages with steps that the system performed on each host in the job list.
NiagaraNetworkJobPrototype (provisioningNiagara-NiagaraNetworkJobPrototype)
This component is a persisted component that represents a provisioning job—meaning a specific set of steps to be performed on a given list of host stations. It differs from a one-time job in that the prototype job’s specific set of steps are to be performed regularly on its given list of host stations.
PlatformConnection (provisioningNiagara-PlatformConnection)
This component is used by the ProvisioningNwExt to poll each station.
ProvisioningRobot (provisioningNiagara-ProvisioningRobot)
This special program component can be customized and saved on the Supervisor station, then selected as the source robot in a Run Robot step when configuring a provisioning job.
SoftwareContainer (provisioningNiagara-SoftwareContainer)
This component supports the Software component under the ProvisioningNwExt extension. It provides visibility into the Supervisor’s software registry that contain the software files (stored under the !sw directory) that can be installed on a remote host.
StationPollScheduler (provisioningNiagara-StationPollScheduler)
This component controls the polling of StationProxy extensions by the ProvisioningNwExt of the NiagaraNetwork. As a container slot under this network extension, the poll scheduler operates as in most driver networks.
StationProxy (provisioningNiagara-StationProxy)
This component provides platform administration functions like those available when you open a direct platform connection in Workbench, using the Station Director and Platform Administration views. It also provides a number of actions for station control functions.
SupervisorLicenses (provisioningNiagara-SupervisorLicenses)
This component supports the Licenses slot under the NiagaraNetwork’s ProvisioningNwExt component.
DeviceBootstrap (provisioningNiagara-DeviceBootstrap)
This component sets up the target host Id was the bootstrap mode.
