Example

Suppose a software template is needed that meets the following requirements:

• The name of the group is "tgg"
• The jobs at the target should be executed in sequence. If a job fails then subsequent jobs will not be executed and already successful executed preceding jobs will be rolled back.
• Dependencies between packages should be resolved, that may result in cascades of install orders.
• In case of a conformance violation the software template generates jobs to resolve this conformance violation and schedules the jobs for execution.
• The software template addresses only those target systems that are belonging to the subnet 172.16.213.* and are running an operating system Windows NT Intel, Windows 2000 Intel, or Windows XP Intel.
• The evaluation of the group should start when the group is sealed. The evaluation will be repeated every 48 hours. The evaluation is driven by a calendar named tgCal.

The following command will create this group:

cadsmcmd templateGroup action=create name=tgg transaction cascade "setup&activate_jobs" query="Target.Address MATCHES '172.16.213.*' AND (Target.OS='Win NT Intel' OR Target.OS='Win 2000 Intel' OR Target.OS='Win XP Intel')" evaluationPeriod=48 calendarName=tgCal

To control the actual list of software template , the following command lists all software template defined at the server:

cadsmcmd templateGroup action=list
