Deployment Templates enable you to define a collection of materialized view definitions at a master site and use parameters in the definitions so that the materialized views can be customized for individual users.

To create a deployment template on a master site: Click Setup Master Sites... to set up the master site, if not yet complete. If you want to include updatable materialized views in the template, their base tables must be in Master Group. Click Create Master Group... to create a master group that will manage the replicated objects. Click Create Template... to launch the wizard that helps you create the deployment template. To customize the template for individual users and deploy it to materialized view sites: Click Template Script Generation... to complete the generation of offline template scripts. Distribute instantiation files to each user. The users can execute the script on the materialized view site using SQL*Plus to create the materialized view environment.
