If your application uses Forge in its data ingest mechanism, you can use Developer Studio to manage the subset of application configuration that cannot be managed through Workbench. Through Developer Studio, you can manage the XML configuration files that control the behavior of the Forge, Dgidx, and Dgraph processes.
The XML configuration files are documented in detail in the Oracle Commerce Platform Services XML Reference.
For reference, the following aspects of an application are configured through Workbench:
Generally, Workbench is the system of record for configuring any aspect of an application that is exposed through Workbench tools. Use Developer Studio to configure features that are not exposed through Workbench, such as your Forge pipeline, dimension search behavior, and available search interfaces.
Note
Use Workbench or Developer Studio to modify your application configuration whenever possible. Edit the XML files directly only when required in unusual situations. If this is necessary, avoid writing Byte Order Marks (BOMs) into the files.
