XML files modified by Enterprise Manager

As discussed in Handling of Configuration Changes by the Enterprise Manager and Enterprise Manager Agent application, the Enterprise Manager modifies individual XML configuration files. The Enterprise Manager also queues these configuration files in the Framework Database Server role in the Data Center (also known as BPMain) that stores user, organization and group data, including user preferences and security data (roles, permissions, and license information)., and then converts these XML files into a configuration message document. (Enterprise Manager creates one configuration document for each server that has a configuration change.) The Enterprise Manager Agent on a remote server then queries the Enterprise Manager once each minute for these configuration message documents. The Enterprise Manager then sends the configuration message document to the EMA on a server. EMA extracts the individual XML files from the configuration message, and stores the individual XML files in a particular directory on its host server.

This table lists every XML configuration file that EM can modify. The table also shows the directory in which the EMA stores the XML configuration file, and details about the contents of the XML file.
