When To Use Template Configuration
Tool?
You can use the Template Configuration Tool to configure your system if the following conditions are met:
· It is a new installation of SAP Web AS (Java) with J2EE Engine SP7 or above, which corresponds to SAP NetWeaver 04 SP Stack 4.

You must not apply the tool on an existing SAP Web AS configuration after upgrading it to SP7 or above. This will delete the custom configurations that you have made in the system. In addition, the system may not start after you apply a configuration template to it.
· If your system should contain other SAP NetWeaver components in addition to SAP Web AS, such as Enterprise Portal, Exchange Infrastructure and so on, first install all required components, and then run the tool afterwards.

If you have installed the J2EE Engine as a part of a developer workplace, it is not necessary to apply a configuration template using the Template Configuration Tool.
