Provisioning Scripts
FR 3252
Ability to edit provisioning script parameters on a scheduled job – IDI has been adding the ability to create parameters on scheduled jobs to make values configurable, and no longer hard-coded in the scripts. While some jobs were updated to allow this, not all jobs had been updated. Under this feature all remaining scheduled jobs related to provisioning have now been updated. This means all credentials and other related information required to interface with the 3rd party network elements are now configurable and can be modified without the need for an adaptive request.
