What is The Recommended Location Of Xdodelivery.cfg In A R12.2 Environment?

GOAL

Traditionally, the xdodelivery.cfg is located under $XDO_TOP/resource, but with 12.2 dual filesystems, this may not be the best idea.

What is the recommendation for R12.2?

(1) Should it be put under fs_ne? ( fs_ne/EBSapps/appl/xdo/resource ) and the relevant profile option pointed there.
(2) Or continue to be under the $XDO_TOP/resource existing in BOTH fs1 and fs2.

SOLUTION

For Oracle R12.2.x:

The .cfg file can be stored in the fs_ne/EBSapps/appl/xdo/resource file system not fs1 or fs2.
The fs_ne filesystem is not swapped during cutover, hence the changes stay intact.

Note:  This issue is fixed from EBS  12.2.5.

Checked for relevance on 27-MAR-2013 Reviewed for relevance 10 Feb 2019. GOAL Some Oracle Applications programs need the setup of xdodelivery file to Mail/Print/Fax documents. e.g. IBY_FD_SRA_FORMAT module: Send Separate Remittance Advices need the setup of  IBY_XDO_DELIVERY_CFG_FILE profile option which need to point to the exact location of the xdodelivery file Without this setup, the report is failing with the following error message: "IBY_XDO_DELIVERY_CFG_FILE is not set"  This Note suggests some examples of xdodelivery.cfg file.
