Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations with Oracle Applications 11i
oAutoConfig is a tool that supports automated configuration of an Applications
instance. All of the information required for configuring an Applications instance is
collected into two local repositories, called the Applications Context and the Database
Context. When AutoConfig runs on the Application tier, it uses information from the
Applications Context file to generate all configuration files and update database
profiles. When AutoConfig runs on the Database tier, it uses information from the
Database Context file to generate all configuration files used on the Database tier.
oOnce an APPL_TOP is enabled for AutoConfig, it has an Applications Context file
stored inthe APPL_TOP as<AP PL_TOP>/a dmin/ <CONTE XT_NAME>.xm l.
oOnce the Database is enabled for AutoConfig, it has a Database Context file stored
intheRDBMS_ORACLE_HOMEas<RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/<CON
TEXT_NAME>.xml.
