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 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 All servers > Templates. 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.
