2.2.2 Parameters to set when creating or copying service templates

The following table lists the parameters you can set in the Create Service Template dialog box and the Copy Service Template dialog box:

Table 2‒2: Parameters in the *Create Service Template* and the *Copy Service Template* dialog boxes
Parameter	Description
ID^#1	Specify an ID that identifies the service template.
Version^#1	Specify the version number of the service template, in the format `aa.bb.cc`.
Vendor ID^#1	Specify the ID of the vendor who created the service template. Create a unique vendor ID by specifying the domain name in reverse order from the top level as a period-separated value. For example, specify vendor IDs in the format `com.xxxx` or `jp.co.yyyy`. If you choose not to use domain names as vendor IDs, make sure that the vendor ID you specify is not being used for another vendor. You cannot specify a vendor ID that starts with `com.hitachi.software.dna`.
Name	Specify the name of the service template.
Vendor^#2	Specify the name of the vendor who created the service template.
Description	Specify a description of the service template.
Category	Specify a category name for the service template.

#1: You cannot change the values specified in the ID, Version, and Vendor ID fields after you create or copy the service template. These three parameters together ensure that the service template can be uniquely identified within the JP1/AO system.
#2: If you omit this parameter, the value specified in Vendor ID is set as the Vendor. For a development service template, the Vendor field remains blank in the Editor window.
