Understanding the Template File

You store your environment settings in a template file that you create either manually or through PIA. You save this file to a location on your system, which is identified by the PS_FILEDIR environment variable. You enable the desired configuration plug-ins by including a reference to that plug-in in the template file, followed by the expected configuration properties for that plug-in. When you run the automated configuration Application Engine program, the program engages the specified configuration plug-ins and inserts the configuration values you’ve included into the database.

To manually create a template file, see Creating a Template File Manually.

To create a template file through PIA, see Creating a Template File in PIA.
