Hi all,
We're using SAM to monitor SQL using the standard SQL DB template. We're creating a template per instance because of course each component in the template needs to point at the instance name that we want to monitor. So then we apply that template to the server where the instance exists. That's fine and we can copy the templates using the GUI and rename etc. However, we need to do this on an enterprise scale - doing it through the GUI isn't going to cut it. So I've tried to export the SQL template, rename the file and modify the template <Name></Name> field in the XML to match the new name of the file. I've also updated all the <SQLInstanceName> in each of the components to the appropriate instance name for this template. (Actually I've got a cool Powershell script to do this on a large scale for lots of server/instance pairs from a CSV file).
Problem is when I try to import the newly made templates again, Orion throws an error :
ApplicationTemplateImportFromXmlStream failed, check fault information
Digging into the error further I see:

Do I need to make some other modifications to the edited template before I can upload it? I see a template ID in the XML, but don't know if that's relevant? Any one every do this? Maybe I need to log a support call?
