In this post we will discuss how to run AutoConfig with a specific context file in Oracle E-Business Suite R12.AutoConfig is a tool that simplifies and standardizes configuration management tasks in an Oracle E-Business Suite. A fresh install of Release 12 includes AutoConfig as a standard and required configuration management tool.
- First of all, Specify the Context File:
When executing the adautocfg.sh script, you need to provide the full path to the context file you want to use as an argument.
$. /adautocfg.sh /data01/app/oracle/apps/inst/apps/PROD_apps/appl/admin/PROD_apps.xml
To know current context file, you may check it using echo $CONTEXT_FILE in application node.
$echo $CONTEXT_FILE
- Alternative Method (adconfig.sh):
If you prefer using adconfig.sh directly, specify the context file with the contextfile parameter:
$. /adconfig.sh contextfile=/data01/app/oracle/apps/inst/apps/PROD_db/appl/admin/PROD_apps.xml
Check Proposed Changes: Sometimes autoconfig makes changes unexpectedly. So before running AutoConfig, use adchkcfg.sh to review intended changes and identify potential issues. adchkcfg.sh is located in /bin on the application tier, and in /appsutil/bin on the database tier.
$./adchkcfg.sh contextfile=/data01/app/oracle/apps/inst/apps/PROD_db/appl/admin/PROD_apps.xml
