Examples	------------------EXAMPLE 1-----------------------   Add-ReplicationJobTemplate -JobName vRepJob1 -JobEntity $vm -TargetHost $targethost -ReplicateName TestRep -Type Differential -Flags $flags -targetDatastores MyDatastore1, MyDatastore2 -PrimaryDatastore MyDatastore -targetnetworks VM Network -includeddisk 0,1,2   This command adds a replication job template. Since the RunJobNow flag is not specified the job will not be run immediately. Since no transport failover is specified the default order of transport failovers will be used. ------------------EXAMPLE 2-----------------------   Add-ReplicationJobTemplate -JobName vRepJob1 -JobEntity $vm -TargetHost $targethost -ReplicateName TestRep -Type Differential -Flags $flags -targetDatastores MyDatastore1, MyDatastore2 -PrimaryDatastore MyDatastore -targetnetworks VM Network -TransportFailover VA-HotAdd, VA-Network -RunJobNow 1 -includeddisk 0,2,4   This command adds a replication job template.
