You use this procedure for creating templates of objects, such as integration flows and channels, to reuse the configuration data while creating multiple integration flows or channels that require similar configurations. When you save an integration flow as a template, it is stored locally at a defined path. When you save a channel as a template, the adapter-specific and modules configuration of the channel is stored as a template in the ES Repository.
