Digging around on BigAdmin can really pay off where N1 SPS is concerned. In my last post, I talked about the N1 SPS Usage Best Practices Guide (PDF). For this post, I'll highlight the N1 SPS Developer Guidelines (PDF) document.

This guide describes a lot of key information about how to work with the N1 SPS XML schema for containers, components, and plans. Personal highlights for me:

• Pro/Con tables describing the advantages and disadvantages for using key features of the N1 SPS XML schema
  
• Good section describing how to use variables in components and plans
• Detailed discussion of how to use the <execNative> element to execute commands native to the target operating system
• Command line samples for common or useful commands
