Importing a workload application template
How to import a workload application template using the Dynamic Workload Console.
Before you begin
Ensure you have created a workload application template as described in Creating a workload application template or Exporting a job stream definition as a workload application template.
About this task
You can also decide whether or not to maintain a tie to the
workload application which binds the objects to the
workload application, or to import the objects eliminating
any ties to the workload application. Eliminating ties to
the workload application allows you to manage objects with
more flexibility.
Procedure
- From the navigation toolbar, click Administration > Workload Design > Import Workload Application
- Specify the name of a distributed engine
- Browse to the workload application template.
- Click Upload.
- In the section Import Options, select Import only the
contents of the workload application template, if you want to import only the objects
contained in the template, without any ties to the workload application. This allows you to work freely with the
objects contained in the template. (This import is supported only when connected to an engine with
version 9.4.0.4 or later)
- You now need to edit the names of the objects as they are defined in the target environment (for example, the names of the workstations on which the job streams run). In the left column, under the Original Workload heading, you can find the original objects, such as workstations, jobs, and job streams. In the fields in the right column, you can enter the names to be assigned to the objects in the target environment.
- Click Import.
