Running Deployment Jobs in the Foreground

By default, provisioning plans are run in the background. If you prefer to run your deployments in the foreground to easily check the status of your deployment, perform the following tasks.

Disable physical locking in the N1 SPS software.

Caution –
Disabling physical locking of hosts is not supported in the N1 SPS software.

Set the pe.lockPhysicalHost property in the config.properties file as follows.
```
pe.lockPhysicalHost=false
```
The location of the config.properties file on the Master Server varies depending on the OS that is running. The following list indicates the location of the file by OS.
- Solaris OS – /opt/SUNWn1sps/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_5.2/server/config/config.properties
- Linux OS – /opt/sun/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_5.2/server/config/config.properties
- Windows OS – c:\Program Files\N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2\server\config\config.properties
Restart the Master Server.
Create the OS Provisioning server.

When you create the OS Provisioning server, set the run_provisioning_foreground variable to true.
