Starting in AX-3.7, a station user requires admin-level Read (R) permissions on a category assigned to the provisioningNiagara subfolder in order to see it under the station’s Files node.

In addition to batch job log files, Niagara provisioning creates other files under the Supervisor’s station directory to store backup .dist files, as well as “snapshots” of the software installed on the hosts running those stations.

Backup .dist files are written under the Supervisor’s station directory using the following convention:

^provisioningNiagara/stationData/station/backups/backup_station_timestamp.dist

Software snapshot files are written under the Supervisor’s station directory using this convention:

^provisioningNiagara/stationData/station/software/snapshot.bog

Do not manually delete any stationData files on the Supervisor, e.g. using Windows Explorer, or in Workbench using the “My File System” node in the Nav tree. Instead, use the “Dispose” job feature in various provisioning views, for example the Niagara Network Job List, or Prototype Job List view for Niagara provisioning job components. When you dispose a job, all of its related stationData files (and Batch Job log files) are automatically deleted.
