Copying a Supervisor file

A Supervisor file is a file located in the My File System of the Supervisor’s Nav tree.
Prerequisites: You have created a new job (one-time, or job prototype) and have either the Niagara Network Job Builder or Niagara Network Schedule View open.
  1. In the top pane, Provisioning steps to run, click add (Image), and select the Copy Local File or Copy Supervisor File step.
    The system opens the File Chooser for the files available as part of the Supervisor station.
  2. Using the File Chooser, navigate to the source file for the copy operation, select the file, and click OK.
    If you are creating a one-time job using the Niagara Network Job Builder, you can select either a Supervisor file or a local file on your PC. If you are creating a job prototype using the Niagara Network Prototype View, you can select only a Supervisor file.
    The system prompts you for the target destination.

    This destination folder applies to all stations in the job. You may need to edit the destination.

  3. Edit the destination system-home-relative or station-home-relative.
    The destination string must always begin with the character for either the system-home relative (!) or the station-home relative (^). The system provides no means to modify any files outside of the software release directory on any target host.

    The destination is changed to specify a logos subfolder under the images folder, which is at the station root absolute (^). If a destination folder does not already exist on the target host, the step creates it.

  4. Click Run Now.
To run more efficiently, the system combines this step with other file copy steps, install software steps, or upgrade out-of-date software steps in the job.
