Exporting the Database for Products in an Installation to a Template
You can export the database components and schemas configured for the products in an installation to a database micro template.
In the Command Central web user interface, you access the Export function from the Overview page of the SPM product instance in the installation by selecting the Export database option. Note that the Export database option is enabled only when Database Component Configurator is installed in an installation of release version 10.5 or higher. In the Export Database to Template wizard, you must specify an alias name for the database template and the connection details of the database, such as database type, URL, and user credentials.
Tip:
To get the database connection details, go to a product instance (for example, Integration Server) and select Configuration > Databases. Click the name of an existing database configuration instance and copy the database connection details.
For the database types supported by Software AG products, see the System Requirements for Software AG Products document.
Command Central generates a template with the database components and schemas, and the connection details that you specified. Command Central imports the generated template automatically and creates a layer type definition for the database template in the local Command Central installation. You can use the layer definition for the template to create a database layer in an existing stack.
Note that the generated template does not include the database storage component. Before you apply the database template in an installation or use it to create a database layer in a product stack, you must ensure that the database storage component for the database is already created.
