Add a template

To add template, click Add Template in the Templates table, then select either Standard or Composite to specify the type of template that you want to create. This is the first step in preparing a template for use in provisioning software.

Before you begin

You must be a domain administrator to add a template. If you want to use a domain other than the default domain, you must have defined the domain with the Resource Management task. To create a composite template, you must have more than one standard template in the published state.

Procedure

  1. Expand the Cloud Provisioning category in the navigation area, then select Software Services.
  2. Select the Templates tab.
  3. In the table, click Add Template, then select either Standard or Composite to specify the type of template that you want to create.
    If Add Template is not available, it might be because you are not a domain administrator.
  4. On the page that is displayed, supply values. The page varies depending on the type of template that you are adding. See Values on the Add Standard Template window or Values on the Add Composite Template window.

Results

An entry for the template is created in the software services catalog.

What to do next

To add the template to a tenant, use the Resource Management task.
