EBS-- Autoconfig Reading the Context File contents directly from the database

Context Files are stored in the database.. The table that store the context files( historically) is "FND_OAM_CONTEXT_FILES"
Context files in this table is stored in a huge clob column named TEXT..
In TEXT column the context file is stored as is, that is in xml format ..

fnd_oam_context_files
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(512)
VERSION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
PATH NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1024)
LAST_SYNCHRONIZED NOT NULL DATE
TEXT NOT NULL CLOB
LAST_UPDATE_DATE NOT NULL DATE
LAST_UPDATED_BY NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
CREATION_DATE NOT NULL DATE
CREATED_BY NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
NODE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
STATUS VARCHAR2(1)
SERIAL_NUMBER NUMBER
EDIT_COMMENTS VARCHAR2(2000)
CTX_TYPE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1)
So by quering the table and using the proper xml functions , the values in context file can be read.

For example, to gather the web port information of the E-Busines Suite system, following query can be used;

SELECT extractvalue(xmltype(text),'//web_port')
FROM fnd_oam_context_files where status='S';


Note that, the query should be modified in order to read the xml tags with childs.
