The AutoConfig Build Context utility (adbldxml.pl) has traditionally been used by administrators to rebuild the context file in Oracle E-Business Suite 11i. In Apps 11i, the AutoConfig Build Context utility was introduced to allow customers to migrate to AutoConfig easily. Later on, due to numerous changes in the 11i technology stack, it became hard to keep the utility in sync for the Applications tier. So it was not recommended to customers for discretionary use, but instead only when absolutely needed like in case of cross-platform migrations and database upgrades.
Revived for Apps 12
The AutoConfig Build Context utility has been revived and re-introduced in Oracle E-Business Suite R12 for the database tier. It is essential for enabling AutoConfig on the database tier of an R12 E-Business Suite instance in the following scenarios:
- Cross platform migration of DB tier (Metalink Note 456197.1)
- Upgrade of Oracle Applications database Tier from Release 11i to Release 12 (PDF, 1.6 MB)
- Upgrade of an existing 10.2.0.X database to 11g database (Metalink Note 735276.1)
How Does it Work?
The AutoConfig Build Context utility reads information from EBS database and environment variables and builds the context file out of the database context template ($ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/template/adxdbctx.tmp). This is illustrated in the figure above.
Running the AutoConfig Build Context Utility
The utility can be run by issuing the following command on the database tier:
perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adbldxml.pl
Note: In R12, this utility is supported only on the database tier.

Hi Ramya,
I saw this:
Note: In R12, this utility is supported only on the database tier.
I have a question. For some reason if i miss my CONTEXT_FILE on Apps Tier, than i do not see any way to recover it.
I know there is another way to download it from Database using
"perl adclonectx.pl retrieve" BUT do we have any other way to generate CONTEXT_FILE as adbldxml.pl does?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Neeraj,
In R12, the only way to retrieve the context file on the Applications tier is using the adclonectx.pl script.
There is no tool to build the context file from scratch on the Applications tier, the way adbldxml.pl does on the Database tier.
Thanks,
Ramya
