Saving a Deployed Patch Plan as a Patch Template

If you have already analyzed and deploy a patch plan, and if you want to save that patch plan as a patch template, then use one of the following approaches:

Approach 1

1. From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then select Patches & Updates.

2. On the Patches & Updates page, in the Plans region select a successfully analyzed deployable Patch Plan.

   Note:

   You can create a patch template only from one Patch Plan at a time.

3. Select Create Template. The Create New Plan Template dialog appears.

4. Enter a unique name for the template, then click Create Template.

   Note:

   When you select a plan, the Create Template option is not visible if you:

   • Select a nondeployable Patch Plan or a deployable Patch Plan that has either not been analyzed or resulted in errors after being analyzed.

   • Do not have the privileges to view the Patch Plan that you selected.

   • Do not have the privileges to create a template.

Approach 2

1. From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then select Patches & Updates.
2. On the Patches & Updates page, in the Plans region click the name of a successfully analyzed deployable patch plan. The Create Plan wizard appears.
3. In the Create Plan Wizard, in the Review & Deploy page, click Save as Template.
4. Enter a unique name for the template, then click Create Template.

Note:

You must create patch templates only with unique names.
