Creating a Provisioning File

Provision applications with a simple text configuration file that can be parsed by the client and from which data is then imported.

The provisioning file is an ASCII text file where each setting must be in a separate line, or separated by a semicolon. All fields in the configuration file are optional—that is, whatever is present in the file is imported.
  1. Create a text file.
    The naming follows a strict naming convention. Use a prefix of Sybase_Messaging_ followed by the Application ID. The file uses .cfg extension. Any non-alphanumeric characters in the Application ID are replaced with underscores to avoid any conflicts with operating systems. For example, if the Application ID is “myApplication:1.0”, the file name is: Sybase_Messaging_myApplication_1_0.cfg.
    Note: For Hybrid Apps, settings are applied to the Hybrid Web Container, not to each app.
  2. Enter the desired settings information in the .cfg file. See Provisioning Properties Reference.
  3. Save the file.
