Common Program Exit Structure

Common program exits are referred to in terms of “pre” or “post” in relation to an operation that the Provisioning Server commonly performs. Program exits have a single common interface for their calling structure. This interface consists of a single argument and a single return value. The input argument is an XML buffer representation, encoded in UTF-8, of the object being acted upon combined with any custom information from the definition of the exit. The return value is status information on the result of the program exit execution as well as any documented custom information that is required for a particular exit.

There are two types of common exits:

• DLL deployed
• SOAP executable
