18 Using the Bulk Provisioning Tool
Optional syntax
In BPT provisioning method syntax, the word [optional] indicates that what
follows is optional and is not needed to invoke the method. Typically,
the option is the writing of the returned values to a text file. You do not
include [optional] when entering the syntax. For example, the following is
the complete syntax for the getSysRoles method:
getSysRoles [optional] into <file name>
To write the returned information to the screen, you use the syntax:
getSysRoles. To write the returned information to a file named
roles.txt, you use the syntax: getSysRoles into roles.txt. The
system creates the file with the name entered in the BPT command line.
When a get* command is not limited to a specific instance (for example,
getSysRoles or getAllRights), you cannot use the shortcut number
(BPT main menu option) when writing to a file. You must enter the BPT
provisioning method syntax on the BPT command line. If you use the
shortcut number, the returned information is written to the screen by
default.
Brackets
Brackets () are required around the parameters when shown in the BPT
provisioning method syntax. For example, the following is the syntax for
the getRole provisioning method:
getRole using (Role name) | file <file name> [optional] into
<file name>
With this provisioning method, brackets are required around the
provisioning Role name. For example, to retrieve the definition for the
configured SuperUser role, you use the following syntax: getRole
using (SuperUser).
Angle brackets
Angle brackets (<>) in the syntax indicate a variable. You replace the
variable name and angle brackets with the specific variable when you
invoke the provisioning method. For example, the following is the syntax
for the getSysRoles provisioning method:
getSysRoles [optional] into <file name>
With this provisioning method, the angle brackets indicate that file name
is a variable, replaced when using the provisioning method. For example,
if you want to write the returned values to a file name called roles.txt,
you use the syntax: getSysRoles into roles.txt.
