Replicating a Parameter Template

Scenarios

If you already have a parameter template and want to reuse most of its custom parameters and values in a new template, you can replicate that parameter template. You can also replicate parameters to generate a new parameter template for future use.

Precautions

• After a parameter template is replicated, wait at least 5 minutes before creating the first DB instance that uses this template as its default parameter template.
• Default parameter templates cannot be replicated, but you can create custom parameter templates based on those default templates.

Replicating a Custom Parameter Template

1. Log in to the TaurusDB console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
3. On the Parameter Templates page, click Custom Templates. Locate the parameter template to be replicated and click Replicate in the Operation column.
4. In the displayed dialog box, enter the new parameter template name and description and click OK.

   • The template name consists of 1 to 64 characters. Only letters (case-sensitive), digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.) are allowed.
   • The description consists of a maximum of 256 characters and cannot contain carriage return characters or special characters (>!<"&'=).

5. Check that a new template is generated on the Custom Templates tab.
