Replicating a Parameter Template
================================

Scenarios
---------

You can replicate a parameter template you have created. When you have already created a parameter template and want to provide most of its custom parameters and values in a new parameter template, you can replicate the template you created.

Default parameter templates cannot be replicated. You can create parameter templates based on the default ones.

Procedure
---------

#. Log in to the management console.

#. Click |image1| in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.

#. Click |image2| in the upper left corner of the page and choose **Databases** > **Distributed Database Middleware**.

#. Choose **Parameter Templates**, click the **Custom Templates** tab, locate the required parameter template, and click **Replicate** in the **Operation** column.

#. In the displayed dialog box, configure required details and click **OK**.

   -  The template name is case-sensitive and consists of 1 to 64 characters. It can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.).
   -  The template description consists of a maximum of 256 characters and cannot include carriage return characters and special characters >!<"&'=

   After the parameter template is replicated, a new template is generated in the list.
