Preparing Provisioning Gateway Host

Prepare a provisioning gateway host. The provisioning gateway host is used in the following way:

The application management scripts are contained in the application package. CloudBlue Commerce installs application management scripts on this host.
CloudBlue Commerce performs provisioning operations for application using these scripts. CloudBlue Commerce executes management script, and script calls the appropriate methods from the provisioning API of External System. Actual provisioning is performed in the External System.

Important: BackupAgent Server should be accessible from the provisioning gateway host through HTTP.
