Assigning an Output Template to a Service
Use of an output template to format service output is optional. You assign an output template to a service using the Properties view in Designer.
When using output templates, keep the following points in mind:
*A service can have at most one output template assigned to it at a time. You can dynamically change the output template assignment at run time, however. For more information, see Applying Output Templates Arbitrarily.
*You can assign the same output template to more than one service.
*If you assign an existing output template to a service, the output template must reside in the Integration Server_directory \packages\packageName\templates directory, where packageName is the package in which the service is located.
Note:
If you assign an output template to a service and later copy that service to a different package, you must copy the output template file to the Integration Server_directory \packages\packageName\templates directory of the new package. (If you copy an entire package, any output templates will be included automatically.) If the template file has a file extension other than .html, rename the file extension as “.html” so that Designer will recognize its contents.
*The server treats the case of the file name differently depending on which operating system you are using. For example, on a case-insensitive system such as Windows, the server would see the names “template” and “TEMPLATE” as the same name. However, on a case-sensitive system such as UNIX, the server would see these as two different names. If you are trying to assign an existing output template and you enter a file name in the wrong case on a UNIX system, the wrong file name could be assigned as the output template for your service.
