Configuration document descriptions

Most configuration documents have XML content. The table describes the documents and states whether we can edit them using an administrative tool or must edit them directly.

If possible, edit a configuration document using the dmgr console because it validates any changes that you make to configurations. We can also use one of the other administrative tools (wsadmin or Java APIs) to modify configuration documents. Using the dmgr console or wsadmin scripting to update configurations is less error prone and likely quicker and easier than other methods.

However, we cannot edit some files using the administrative tools. Configuration files that edit manually have an X in the Manual editing required column in the table that follows.
