Specify the template order in the Application Configuration

An Application Configuration can contain one or more configuration templates and related scripts. You can specify the order of the templates in your application configurations. The templates will be pushed to managed servers in the order in which they appear in the application configuration. For example, you may need to apply changes to certain configuration files before others.

The order of execution of scripts in an application configuration is determined by the script type: data-manipulation, pre-install, post-install or post-error. The order of the scripts in the application configuration is irrelevant. For more information, see Types of Application Configuration scripts.

To specify the order of the templates in your Application Configuration:

  1. From the SA Client navigation pane, select Library and then select the By Type tab.
  2. Locate the Application Configuration node and open it. Open the Configurations node. Open the operating system group and navigate to the operating system where the Application Configuration is. Note that an Application Configuration can apply to multiple operating systems.
  3. Select an Application Configuration and select Actions > Open.
  4. Select the Configuration Values view. This displays all the configuration templates and scripts (if any) in the Application Configuration. Notice that the templates and scripts are numbered in order.
  5. To reorder a template or script, select it then select Actions > Move Up or Actions > Move Down or select the up-arrow and down-arrow icons.
  6. Select File > Save to save your changes.
