Create server templates
A server template is used to define the settings for a new appserver. By creating a new appserver, you either select the default server template or a template you previously created, that is based on another, already existing appserver. The default template is used if we do not specify a different template when creating the server.
To create a server template.
- In the admin console, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > , and then click Templates.
We can also use the createServerTemplate command for AdminTask to create a server template.
- On the Server templates page, click New.
- From the list of servers, select the server 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 the other templates.
- click OK.
Results
Your new template is on the list of server templates that we can use to create a new appserver or cluster member.
