P.N : While starting the services you should first start the database and database listener and then start the

application services.

Using Autoconfig to update the Application and Database

AutoConfig is a configuration tool that automates the configuration of an Oracle Applications system

Information required to configure the application is stored in a repository called

Application CONTEXT(SID_HOST.xml)

One context file exists for application tier and one for database tier.

Autconfig uses information from this context file to configure all the files across the application and database

system.

R12 is by default Autoconfig enabled

To verify if 11i system is Autoconfig enabled go to $AD_TOP/bin and execute adcfginfo.sh contextfile=

Running Autconfig on Database Tier

Login as database user ( for.eg oraprod,oracle)

UNIX ENVIRONMENT

su – oracle

./SID_HOSTNAME.env

cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/SID_HOSTNAME

adautocfg.sh ---- Requires apps password
