An alias Oracle ASM file name with template is used only for Oracle ASM file creation operations. It has the following format:
+diskgroup(templatename)/alias
Alias file names with template behave identically to alias file names except that a file created with an alias file name with template receives the attributes specified by the named template. The template must belong to the disk group that the file is being created in. See Example 5-1.
The creation and maintenance of Oracle ASM templates is discussed in "Managing Disk Group Templates".
An example of an alias Oracle ASM file name with template is:
+data(mytemplate)/config1
Explicitly specifying a template name, as in the previous example, overrides the system default template for the type of file being created.
