BPT conventions and examples

Square brackets

Square brackets ([ ]) in the syntax indicate a string of variables, separated
by commas. The square brackets must be included when shown in the
BPT provisioning method syntax. For example, the following is the syntax
for the

addRole

provisioning method:

addRole using ([Name of the Provisioning Role,Description

of the Role,[[The Provisioning Right Type,The Read

privilege,The write privilege,The delete privilege], ..

,[The Provisioning Right Type,The Read privilege,The write

privilege,The delete privilege]]]) | file

[optional] into

With this provisioning method, the square brackets separate fields
of the role description being added. For example, if you are adding
a role called

AddExample

, the syntax looks like:

addRole using

([AddExample,BPT add example,[[Domain Management,

true,true,false],[Device Management,true,false,

false],[Admin,true,true,true]]])

Bar

A bar (|) in the syntax means that there are two ways of entering the
required provisioning method information. Typically, the bar is used for the
data entry option—entering the data in the command line or using data in a
file. For example, the following is the syntax for the

getRole

provisioning

method:

getRole using (Role name) | file [optional] into

With this provisioning method, you can enter the Role name in the BPT
command line, or enter it using a file. For example, the following is the
syntax for invoking the provisioning method on the BPT command line for
the Superuser role:

getRole using (SuperUser)

Optionally, you can invoke the provisioning method using the Role name
listed in a file. For example, the following is the syntax to invoke the
provisioning method using a file (containing the Superuser role) called

SuperUser_role.txt

getRole using file SuperUser_role.txt

The contents of the file must be in the correct format. Use the help
command to display the BPT required file format. Note in the above
example, that the role name in the file is not enclosed in brackets as it is if
this method is invoked from the BPT command line.
