How do I access and edit the configuration settings?

Environment:

Configuration Settings, Configuration Editor
Oracle B2C Service

Resolution:

Your Oracle B2C Service application includes many configuration settings that allow you to enable or disable several features within your site. In addition, some configuration settings allow you to specify how a certain feature is supposed to work.

You can access, edit, and customize these configuration settings through the Configuration Editor. Each configuration setting includes a description that defines how the setting works and what the default value is so that you can easily restore a setting to its default value if you wish.

When you change configuration settings, a record of the update is retained in the configuration Log File. The Log File allows you to easily determine when a setting was last updated, by whom, and what the previous value was. For more information regarding the configuration Log File, refer to Answer ID 585: Monitoring Changes Made to Configuration Settings.

The Configuration Settings editor gives you more control over customizing your site. The editor displays as a report with category folders and run-time selectable filters that make searching more effective. In addition, values for configuration settings can now be edited inline.
