What is Autoconfig

AutoConfig is a tool that automates the configuration of an Oracle Applications system. In Oracle Apps 11i,the whole of system information is stored in 2 repository-one database context file located at $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/<context_name>.xml  and other applications context file located at APPL_TOP/admin/context_name>.xml. When we run autoconfig, the information in context files is used to instantiate the template files and create the configuration files and set the profile options.

How do i run Autoconfig?

The database services should be up but the application services should be down while running autoconfig.

On the Dbtier->login as owner of db-oracle user

cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/<context_name>

./adautocfg.sh

On the Apps Tier->login as owner of applications-applmgr user

cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>

./adautocfg.sh

The log files created by AutoConfig is located at:

On the application tier:
<APPL_TOP>/admin/<Context_name>/log/<MMDDhhmm>/adconfig.log

On the database tier:
<RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/log/<Context_name>/<MMDDhhmm>/adconfig.log

where: <MMDDhhmm> = (month, day, hour, and minute of the AutoConfig run)

<context_name>=<SID>_<Hostname>
