Importing a Parameter Template

Scenarios

RDS allows you to import new parameter templates for future use. To apply an imported parameter template to new DB instances, see Applying a Parameter Template.

Constraints

• To import parameter templates, you need to contact customer service to apply for required permissions.
• Any modification to read-only parameters in an imported parameter template does not take effect.
• Only parameter templates that were exported from the Parameter Templates page on the RDS console can be imported.
• If any modification to an exported parameter template causes a change in the file format, the template may not be able to be imported.
• The parameter template to be imported cannot contain parameters related to specifications. For details about such parameters, see Constraints.
