In this example, two templates were created, on for development and one for production. You can then select the template to customize the template to fit your needs. For example, you could configure the template application server to have a certain heap size, so that new application servers created using the default will have your specified heap size.

Following are some of the tuning configurations you want to make to your template application server.

• Define a custom directory for core dump, heap dump, and java dump.
• Disable "allow overflow" sessions.
• Enable HPEL logging.
