13 1 Create a Deployment Template

Step

How to do it

1a. Manually define a Deployment Template

Selecting the Templates menu on the Main Window.

From the Template Maintenance request a new template on the toolbar or from the File menu.

OR

1b. Copy a Package as a Deployment Template

When you have created a Version or Patch to suit your deployment scenario, you can use this as the basis for a deployment template.

To do this, with the Version or Patch open in the Control Panel, select the Save as Template command from the File menu.

OR

1c. Convert a pre-V13 Template

If you created your own template in an earlier version of LANSA these can be converted to V13 Templates.

To do this, select the Convert a per-V13 Template command from the main Deployment Tool window.

Important – Do NOT convert any of the LANSA supplied templates as these have been redesigned in Version13 and many of the old templates are no longer relevant.

2. Create the Deployment Template

The New Template dialog will be opened to define the basic template properties.

Enter a name for the Application in eight characters or less. The first character must be an alphanumeric character and the name cannot contain embedded blanks.

Enter a description that will enable you to easily identify this template in the list of templates.

Press OK when complete. The Template Control Panel will be opened as shown in 13.4 Deployment Template Options & Settings.
