Running The Startup Script About this task Use the provadmin script to perform various tasks. The tasks include: • Installing and removing a Fulfillment Provisioning node, • Starting and stopping a Fulfillment Provisioning node, • Starting and stopping driver modules, controlling the feeding of work into the system, • Reloading checkpointed service orders, • Instantiating cartridges, • Reloading the catalog, and • Starting and stopping network element simulators for development and test environments. It is important to perform these tasks in the correct order. A typical sequence for a development environment is: Procedure 1. Install and start all the components. 2. Configure the catalog using the web interface. 3. Make manual edits to the configuration files. 4. Update the catalog to read the changed configuration files. 5. Reload checkpointed service orders so they execute before new work. 6. Enable the driver modules so new orders can enter the flow. This sequence is provided in the sample startup script available in the provadmin command help. See Displaying a sample script for provadmin for more information. The definitive documentation on the provadmin command is provided by the provadmin help. See Displaying provadmin help for more information.
