View configuration template sources

You can view the contents of your configuration template and view its CML or XML source. This can be helpful to understand which list merging modes have been set in the template before you push the Application Configuration to a server. For information on Application Configuration sequence merge modes, see Sequence aggregation.

To view the source for a configuration template:

  1. From the SA Client navigation pane, select Library then select the By Type tab.
  2. Locate and open the Application Configuration node. Open the Templates node. Open the operating system group and navigate to the operating system where the template file is. Note that a template can apply to multiple operating systems.
  3. Select a configuration template and select Actions > Open.
  4. Select the Content view to display the CML or XML contents of the configuration template.
