An Oracle tool called AutoConfig streamlines the process of setting up and maintaining environments for Oracle E-Business Suite. Based on the particulars of the environment it functions in, it modifies configuration files, profiles, and settings. Before making configuration changes in the production environment, AutoConfig is run in test mode to implement them in a controlled environment first.

adchkcfg.sh:- To evaluate the modifications made by AutoConfig, you can run this script before starting it. This will provide a report outlining the variations between the configuration as it is currently configured and the configuration that would result from executing AutoConfig.

Application Tier

On UNIX:

$ sh /bin/adchkcfg.sh contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE

Here is the sample run for the same. Running Check Config Utility on the Application Tier.

$ cd $AD_TOP/bin
$ ls -ltr adchkcfg.sh
