Importing a Parameter Template

Scenarios

RDS allows you to import new parameter templates for future use. To apply an imported parameter template to new DB instances, see Applying a Parameter Template.

Constraints

• Only parameter templates that were exported from the Parameter Templates page on the RDS console can be imported.
• If any modification to an exported parameter template causes a change in the file format, the template may not be able to be imported.
• The parameter template to be imported cannot contain parameters related to specifications. For details about such parameters, see Constraints.

Procedure

1. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > Relational Database Service.
3. On the Parameter Templates page, click Import Parameter Template.
4. In the displayed dialog box, select a DB engine version, enter a new parameter template name, click Select File, select the target parameter list (containing parameter names, values, and description), and click OK.

   Only one file (CSV format) can be imported at a time. The file size cannot exceed 50 KB.
