Updating template configuration
In
Prerequisites: You already have on hand the exported template spreadsheet.
Perform the following steps:
- Fill in an exported spreadsheet to describe the template(s) and the revised configuration.
NOTE: To leave any of the configuration as-is, clear the appropriate value cell for the row that represents the deployed template and also clear the default value cell in the header of that same row.
- In the Template Service’s Template Manager view, click the Update Configs From Excel button to apply changes in the spreadsheet.
Only the template configuration is changed through this process. When updating configuration values, the following logic is used for a given configuration value:
- If the value cell is not blank, apply the value of that cell.
- Otherwise, if the default value cell in the spreadsheet header is not blank, apply the value of that cell.
- Otherwise, leave the current value as is.
NOTE: Note that this process cannot be used to change which optional components are present in an installed application template; for optional components, it can only adjust the configuration of components that were previously installed. To reselect the optional components of an application template, re-install the application template.
NOTE: Updating template and application configurations can also be done through provisioning. For more details, see the latest version of the Niagara Provisioning Guide.
