If you have been using the UDA for a while you will know that as you create templates this automagically builds the menu that operator uses after press F12. Occasionally you will want to modify this menu because you have added a new template to the list – and forgot to set a good or consistent description – or because made a typo. Currently the UDA 1.4 has no interface to editing the menu – so unfortunately you have to do by hand. That said its a very simple process.

There are two ways to change the menu – a quick and dirty method is to merely edit the text in /var/public/tftproot/messages.txt file. The downside is every time you add a new template to the UDA, and press save, this file is over-written. The true source of the menu information created at the PXE boot is actually held in /var/public/conf/templates.conf. You can edit this file to permanantly change both the view in the UDA’s Templates page and the menu viewed by the UDA operator. Once you have corrected your enteries, restart the UDA’s web service with service httpd restart.
