Figure 8-5 Invalid Template Example
The following list outlines the reasons why a Template is invalid:
• Missing resource types
• Missing resource instances
• Missing interfaces
• Links with incompatible interface types
• One or both of the link endpoints are missing
Note After performing the previously indicated Template checks, the Active System Manager application
verifies that the Template is schedulable. If a Template is not schedulable, an error message
displays.
You can validate Templates on demand and automatically, as described in the following subsections:
• Validating Templates Automatically
• Validating Templates On Demand
Note The Active System Manager server validates the Template content during Template save and import
operations.
Validating Templates Automatically
The Active System Manager client validates the Template when you open a Template and indicate the
invalid resources with red icons. To automatically validate a Template, open the Template you want to
validate. To validate more than one Template, right-click and select the Templates.
