[Editor:  This is an a elaborated and expanded version of a comment from one of our Applications Technology Group architects from the now-massive AutoConfig Comment thread]

AutoConfig Flow:


Just to update folks and clarify some delivery questions around AutoConfig and its templates:

In previous patches: 
  • The AutoConfig Engine and its associated utilities were released via patches bundled in the ADX product ID.
  • The E-Business Suite AutoConfig templates were released via patches bundled in the TXK product ID.
  • To get an up-to-date AutoConfig setup, you needed to download and install both sets of patches individually.
AutoConfig Engine and Templates in a Single Patch

We have now combined the AutoConfig Engine and the E-Business Suite Templates into a single patch for easier management. They are now being combined into TXK rollup patches, the first combined one being:
The Applications Technology Group produces Rollup patches for AutoConfig, Advanced Configurations, and Rehosted Technologies. These are released via patches in the TXK product ID.

These rollup patches get packaged together into a Minipack.

The last TXK Minipack (3219567 Patch 11i.TXK.B Technology Stack Minipack B) was released in November, 2004.  This was part of 11.5.10 and contained TXK AutoConfig Rollup I (Oct 2004) Patch 3594604.

Each subsequent Rollup patch (RUP) includes the previous one.

Hopefully this clarifies the delivery of AutoConfig code.

Enhancements for AutoConfig

On a separate note, I would like to thank everyone who posted comments about AutoConfig features. It took us a long time to get to this point and there are probably a lot more features you want. So if you can continue submitting here your favorite enhancement, we will do our best to include the most desirable ones.

Thanks,
Ivo Dujmovic
Director of TXK Development Team
