BPT conventions and examples 17

Files must use a specific syntax for a BPT provisioning method to be invoked successfully on the Provisioning Server. You can view the required file syntax by using the BPT Help option ("BPT Help option" (page 24)).

Scripts

A script is basically a text file, where each line of the file consists of a single provisioning method. When executed, each provisioning method in the script is invoked sequentially and can reference a separate file for importing or exporting data. Each provisioning method and its referenced file must use the correct syntax for the script to be executed successfully.

An exclamation mark (!) is used at the start of a line to add a comment line in the script file (for example: ! - script updated 2008.04.01)
