Creating A Service From The Service Templates Tab - HPE XP7 Automation Director User Manual

Procedure
1. In the Dashboard Guidance Menu select Import Service Template or from the Service Templates
tab click Import to open the Import Service Template window. You can also import a service template
from the Card View by clicking Import.
2. Browse to the template file with the file extension .st, or the template set .zip file, and click OK.
The template is added to the Service Templates tab with a "NEW" badge in the Card View. You can
use it to create services.
If the selected file does not satisfy the following conditions, an error dialog box is visible and the import
is canceled:
• The file name must be 127 characters or less in length.
• The file name must not contain multibyte characters.
NOTE: According to the limitations of the functionality for importing .st files and the
importservicetemplate command in Automation Director v8.2.0 and earlier, multibyte
characters must also be avoided when naming zip files.
• The service template set (.zip format) to be imported must contain templates (with the extension
*.st).
NOTE: The files in the service template set are not checked. If the service template contains a service
plug-in, the import result of the service plug-in is not visible.
