How does AutoConfig handle manual changes to configuration files?
AutoConfig is a tool that simplifies and standardizes configuration management tasks in an Oracle Applications environment. The configuration generated by AutoConfig may not always meet your specific requirements, and it may be necessary to customize AutoConfig for your environment. Examples where you might want to customize AutoConfig include: • Start additional services or processes when you start Oracle Applications services • Define your OC4J configuration • Extend Oracle Forms to integrate with a third party Java version • Develop custom applications that are maintained by AutoConfig Release 12 includes a fully supported mechanism to extend your AutoConfig-maintained environment, preserving your extensions every time AutoConfig is run. For details, see Section 4 of Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Metalink Note 387859.1).
