      -i FileWatcherTemplate1 C:\FileWatcherTemplate.txt
      
      job_template.bat -u ejmcommander -p ejmcommander -g
      -i JobWindowsTemplate1 C:\JobWindowsTemplate.txt
      
      job_template.bat -u ejmcommander -p ejmcommander -g
      -i JobUnixTemplate1 C:\JobUnixTemplate.txt
      
      
   2. Unix/Linux
      cd $CA_WCC_INSTALL_LOCATION/bin
      
      ./job_template.sh -u ejmcommander -p <password_ejmcommander> -g
      -i FileWatcherTemplate1 /FileWatcherTemplate.txt
      
      ./job_template.sh -u ejmcommander -p ejmcommander -g
      -i JobWindowsTemplate1 /JobWindowsTemplate.txt
      
      ./job_template.sh -u ejmcommander -p ejmcommander -g
      -i JobUnixTemplate1 /JobUnixTemplate.txt
      
      Note: used option '-g' to make this template available for all WCC users

• Run the following command to list all templates.
  
  
  1. Windows
     job_template.bat -u ejmcommander -p <password_ejmcommander> -g -l
  
  
  
• Unix/Linux
  ./job_template.sh -u ejmcommander -p <password_ejmcommander> -g -l

Note: it will only lists the own written templates and not the default templates defined by product itself after installation.

• Logout from WCC and login again.
  
  
• Go to the APPEDIT (Application Editor) tab and you will see under 'Palette' the 2 templates appearing.
