Cause

You may receive an invalid format error when importing an incorrect file type (XML required), incorrect file name (.apm-template required), or attempt to import a zip file.

If you receive this when importing from THWACK, visit the template page in THWACK to verify the format. If it is a zip file, unzip and import as a file.

For details, see the SAM Administrator Guide .

Resolution

  1. Verify the file type is XML coded.
  2. Verify the extension is .apm-template.
  3. Unzip any zip files and import the contents.
