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 server.
Before you begin
Create a middleware server from which you want to create a
template. For more information, read about adding middleware servers
to configurations.
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 more servers easier.
Procedure
To create middleware server templates, use middleware
server template administrative task commands, or follow this procedure
in the administrative console:
- Go to the server templates collection page. In
the administrative console, click . The list of existing
server templates is displayed.
- To create a middleware server template, click New. Choose the type of server template that you want 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 middleware server that is the same type
of server that you selected to create your template, you can choose
the template as the starting point for the configuration of the new
server.
