One requirement of creating a configuration using the CLI interface is that the

Applications
Oracle Forms Use the CREATE CONFIGURATION command to create a configuration. The
Oracle Portal following code snippet shows the usage of this statement in Oracle9i:

CREATE CONFIGURATION 'appsconfig' AS PRIMARY SITE IS 'appsdb'

RESOURCE IS 'appsdb' HOSTNAME IS 'jrpr01' INSTANCE NAME IS 'appsdb'
