Apply Updated Templates

After you have migrated your knowledge base, review the distributed templates.

Note: For information about changes to the distributed knowledge base, see the Release Notes.

Follow these steps:

1. Review the new templates to determine whether they are suitable for your requirements.
2. Enter /RADMIN.T.

   The Template Definition menu appears.

3. Select the appropriate option to list the definitions you want to review.
4. If you use any template image except the default (as specified in the OPSYSIDS parameter group), copy the required definitions to your working template images.

   Important! When you copy definitions from the distributed template images to your working template images, you can replace your working definition with a distributed definition of the same name. If you want to retain your working definition, make a copy of the definition beforehand.

   If you want to copy all the new definitions, perform the following steps:

   1. Copy the template image (enter /RADMIN.T.I).
   2. Enter C next to the distributed image to merge the distributed template image with the target image.
   3. Specify YES in the Enter 'YES' to OVERLAY Like-named Components field.

   If you want to copy changed definitions, copy them one by one.

5. If you want to apply a new template to all the resource definitions (in one or more system images) that use it, use the AP (Apply Template) action code. Specify RESET and REPLACE to ensure that the template is applied in full. If you want to retain an old definition, make a copy of the definition before you apply the template.
