Create a Server Template from SASServer1
When the SAS Deployment Wizard is used to configure WebSphere Application
Server, an application server, SASServer1, is configured with all the resources that
are needed by the SAS Web applications. This task describes how to use
SASServer1 as a server template to reduce the effort that is required to configure
additional servers for the SAS Web applications and the cluster. Follow these steps:
1 Select Servers � Server Types � WebSphere application servers. Click
Templates and then click New.
2 Select the radio button for SASServer1 and click OK.
3 Provide a name, such as SASServerTemplate, and a description. Click OK.
Create the Cluster and Add Servers

the HTTP session memory-to-memory replication check boxes are cleared.
Click Next.
Note: SAS Web applications do not use Enterprise Java Beans, and do not
support session-level failover.
3 On the Create first cluster member page, select Create the member using an
application server template, and then select SASServerTemplate. Click Next.
