Hi,
with a normal editor (vi or notepad or better one's) you can open the ncm-template files and should see something like in the admin guide http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/orionncm/docs/orionncmadministratorguide.pdf chapter 8.
also if you imported (copied) the templates you can verify the syntax of the template. is it successful?
show an output of this corrupted template.
kind regards,
flo
