Goal :-

How can we update oam-config.xml file without having to  restart the server.

Workaround :-

Note: Manual edit to oam-config.xml file is not recommended. Take necessary backup of this file before editing it.

Generally,  in order to modify or update changes to oam-config.xml file a server restart needs to be done in order to reflect the changes. However this can be achieved without having to restart the server by follow the below steps:-

·         Take a proper backup of the oam-config.xml file. Always take a backup before make any manual changes.

·         Edit the file and perform the modification required.

·         Search for "NGAMConfiguration" and make modification as below.

<Setting Name="NGAMConfiguration" Type="htf:map">
<Setting Name="ProductRelease" Type="xsd:string">11.1.1.5.0</Setting>
<Setting Name="Version" Type="xsd:integer">2</Setting>

Note :- In order to achieve the changes without having to restart the server, update the "version" with next integer value before saving the changes.
