After conversion, you should be able to immediately run new provisioning jobs. However, because after the conversion there is no ProvisioningService (with associated views), you no longer have the previous Workbench access to older provisioning files, including backups, job log and step log details—these are now effectively orphaned.

Note that these older files remain under the Supervisor station’s “^provisioning” directory, including backups in the “^provisioning/stationData/stationName/backups” directory, and so these older backups are still restorable.

For example, at the Supervisor PC, using Workbench you could expand the “My File System” in the Nav tree to navigate to the stations’ provisioning backup folders (above), and then drag backup .dist file(s) into the Niagara Network Job Builder view (on the ProvisioningNwExt) as steps for each station list.

After conversion, it is recommended that you delete the “docProvisioning.jar” file from the Supervisor’s !/modules folder, leaving only the equivalent “docProvisioningNiagara.jar” file (associated with this document) in its place. Otherwise, provisioning-related Help topics viewed at the Supervisor may show incorrect information.
