You can import a new pattern type into the system.
Before you begin
You must be assigned the Create new catalog content role or the Workload resources administration role with full permissions to complete this task.
About this task
If the pattern type was packaged with other
artifacts, such as script packages and add-ons,
those artifacts are imported with the pattern type. Existing artifacts
are not overwritten by this process.Restriction: Most
browsers limit uploads to around 2 GB. If the file for the pattern
type exceeds this limit, you might not be able to upload it by using
the browser interface; in this case, you must use the command-line interface. See the Related information section.
Procedure
- Click . If you are on 2.3.3.3,
click .
- Click the New icon in the toolbar.
- Specify the file details.
- To upload a local file, click the Local tab.
Click Browse to select the .tgz file
that contains the pattern type.
- To upload a remote file, click the Remote tab
and specify the URL of the file. If prompted to log on to the remote
site to access the file, specify the user name and password.
- Optional: Select the Overwrite option
to overwrite the existing pattern type on this system.
This
option is useful if an error occurred during a previous import. With
this option selected, you do not need to delete the pattern type before
you attempt to import the pattern type again. Only an existing pattern
type with the exact version (VRMF) of the pattern type that you import
is overwritten.
CAUTION:
If you overwrite the existing
pattern type, it is restored to its original state. Any modifications
that were made to the pattern type, such as configuration of plug-ins
or modifications to embedded patterns or scripts, are lost.
- Click OK.
What to do next
Now you must accept the license agreement of the pattern
type, configure plug-ins in this pattern type, and enable the pattern
type if you want to use it.
