4.9 Applying service template changes to services
When changes are made to a service template on which a service is based, or there are multiple versions of the same service template, you can use this procedure to apply the changes to services.
When applying service template changes to services, you can:
Apply the latest version of a service template to a service
Apply a specific version of a service template to a service
When you apply an updated service template to a service, service properties that are the same in the old and new versions inherit the input values assigned in the old version#. However, in the following situations, the property values of the old version are not inherited, and the property values for the new version apply.
The property value in the new version references another property value
The service template is configured in such a way that a property in the new version cannot be referenced or modified in the Service Definition or Submit Service dialog box
The values of Service Share Properties do not change when the service template is changed.

Service properties that meet the following criteria are considered to be the same before and after the service template is updated:
The property keys match
The data types of the properties match
The property is an input property before and after the update
