Creating middleware server templates
By creating a middleware server template, you save a copy of server configuration data that you can use as a starting point when you create a new server.
Before you begin
Create a middleware server from which you want to create a template. See Adding middleware servers to configurations for more information.
About this task
When you create a server template, you copy all of the configuration data for that server so that you can create other servers from the template. If your middleware servers each have a similar configuration, then a middleware server template can make creating additional servers easier.
Procedure
- Navigate to the server templates collection page. In the administrative console, click All servers > Templates. The list of existing server templates is displayed.
- To create a new middleware server template, click New. Choose the type of server template to create.
- Select an existing server from which to create the server template. Select a server and click OK.
- Specify a name and description for the server template.
- Click OK. To save the template to the master configuration, click Save.
Results
A server template is created based on the configuration of the existing server.
What to do next
When you create a new middleware server that is the same type of server that you selected to create your template, you can choose the template as the configuration starting point of the new server.
