A server template is used to define the configuration settings
for a new application server. When you create a new application server, you
either select the default server template or a template you previously created,
that is based on another, already existing application server. The default
template is used if you do not specify a different template when you create
the server.
About this task
To create a server template.
Procedure
Use the createServerTemplate command for
the AdminTask object. If you do not create any additional server
templates, the defaultZOS template is used as the template for the first cluster
member. This template uses the default port assignments for the z/OS platform.
If some of these ports are already defined for use elsewhere in your z/OS
system, your newly created cluster member might not start, might function
incorrectly, or might generate unexpected error messages. Therefore, you must
resolve any port conflicts before you start this server.
In the administrative console, click Servers
> Application Servers, and then click Templates. You
can also use the createServerTemplate command for the AdminTask object
to create a server template.
On the Server templates page, click New.
From the list of servers, select the server
that you want to use to create the new template, and then click OK.
Enter the name of the new template and,
optionally, a description of that template that distinguishes it from your
other templates.
click OK.
Results
Your new template is automatically added to the list of server templates
that you can use to create a new application server or cluster member.
