DNA templates & copy run start

[Newbee]

Hi all,

I am playing around with the Velocity templates in DNA (running System ver 1.3.0.159) and it doesn't appear to copy the template changes to the startup-config on switches after deployment (switches running Gilbraltar 16.12.03 and Fuji 16.9.5)?

I was hoping to use them to deploy new NTP servers and login banners in a single deployment but if I have to run around to all devices doing a write mem afterwards then it kind of limits the scalability and purpose of using templates.

Apologies if I missed something really obvious

Thanks for your help anyone.

System version 1.3.0.159 corresponds to Cisco DNA Center 1.3.3.8, which does not save the configuration provisioned through a template to the startup-config. Starting with Cisco DNA Center 2.1.x, configurations pushed through templates will be saved to startup-config. We expect the first generally available release of 2.1.x to be made public later this month.

Just to add to this, you can add the following to the end of your template to save the configuration.

#MODE_ENABLE
write memory
#END_MODE_ENABLE

or 

do write memory
