Using Deployment Automation → Managing Components → Creating Configuration Templates

Creating Configuration Templates

Configuration templates contain configuration data. Typically, the data is for server configurations, for example on Tomcat servers, but the data can be for any purpose.

To use configuration templates, you must first load the SerenaRaConfigManagement plug-in. The Install Template step downloads the template from the Deployment Automation server and allows you to do token replacement based on environment or other properties.

To create a configuration template:

  1. Navigate to the Create Configuration Template dialog box, Components > [selected component] > Templates > Create New Configuration Template [button].
  2. Enter a name in the Name field.
  3. In the Template field, enter or paste the template text. Text can be in any script, or no script at all. The amount of text is based on the database used by Deployment Automation. In general, there is no limit to the amount of text used for a configuration template.
  4. Save your work when you are finished.

Configuration templates can be edited at any time by using the Edit action.
