Business application templates

When you first scan servers with SAV and visualize them, the Tiers pane is empty —it has no business application definitions until you create them. (There are, however, some predefined commonly used default applications built into the product, such as Apache, WebSphere, and so on, contained in the Default Signatures folder.) Once you create and define an application definition with tiers and signatures, you can save the application definition as a template, which can be reused by yourself or others on your team to be automatically be applied to new device scans.

You can also set an application definition to use as the default template, so that whenever you open SAV, it always opens using the application definitions saved in the default template. If you make changes to an application that is based upon a template, and do not wish to save the changes, you can restore the default template.
