To generate template URIs from Terremark Cloud API Explorer

Terremark template URIs are required when you create an installable resource DML entry in the Product Catalog.

For Terremark Templates

1. Log on to the Terremark Cloud API Explorer.
2. Select Services > Organization > Get Organizations.
3. Click Execute.
   Note the environmentId from the response that is generated.
4. Select Services > Compute Pool > Get Compute Pools.
5. Specify the environmentId and click Execute.
   Note the computePoolId from the response that is generated.
6. Select Services > Template > Get Templates.
7. Specify the computePoolId and click Execute.
   The generated response lists all the template URIs.

For Custom Templates

1. Log on to the Terremark Cloud API Explorer.
2. Select Services > Organization > Get Organizations.
3. Click Execute.
   Note the organzationId from the response that is generated.
4. Select Services > Catalog > GetCatalog.
5. Specify the organzationId and click Execute.
   The generated response lists all the custom template URIs in the CatalogEntry tag.

To use the TemplateExport utility

1. Download the TemplateExportUtility.zip file.
2. Extract the zip file contents.

3. In the Configuration.propertiesfile, set the following property values:

   Property	Value
   SERVER_URL	services.enterprisecloud.terremark.com
   USERNAME	<email of the user>
   PASSWORD	<password of the user>
   RESULT_FILE	<file name to be used for the .xls file>

4. Execute the following command from the directory where you have extracted the downloaded ExportTemplates.jarfile.

   java -jar ExportTemplates.jar

   This creates the .xls file listing the URls for all the Terremark templates in the same directory.

5. Use the template URl attribute to create the DML entries.
