Hi Erman,

I have not done any configuration changes/or any other changes and just ran autoconfig on run file system and a new context file is created.during prepare phase will it run autoconfig on patch filesystem?

I wanted to know how it detects a change to context file.is it by comparing the timestamps of xml file with xml that is in backup dir or will it check for any changed parameters internally?

Hope you got my question...thanks for your extended support from all the readers

I believe, if configuration changes are detected, it runs autoconfig on patch fs.

As for the context file synchronization -> It is done internally. (there is a configChangeDetector, as you may already know)
Context files are stored in db as well.
Adop checks the Context file for possible updates from the Database
So, it compares the Context file stored in database with the Context file in the file system.
