Before running the autoconfig in production to propogate your changes, its usually a good idea to run autoconfig in test mode. This will reduce the risk and you can understand the impact better. AD tool provides a script to run autoconfig in test mode. This script will create a report which will list all files & profile options that is going to change when you run AutoConfig.
Below is the sample run for the same.
(appmgr02) bin – -bash $ adchkcfg.sh
Enter the full path to the Applications Context file:
/slot02/appmgr/PQDC2MS1appl/admin/PQDC2MS1.xml
Enter the APPS user password:
AutoConfig is running in test mode and building diffs…
AutoConfig will consider the custom templates if present.

The log file for this session is located at: /slot02/appmgr/PQDC2MS1appl/admin/PQDC2MS1/log/06190701/adconfig.log
Once autoconfig is run on test mode, it will generate a zip file (ADXcfgcheck.zip) as shown above. You can copy the zip file to $OA_HTML location and unzip the same. You can then view the report using following URL
http://hostname:port/OA_HTML/cfgcheck.html
Hope this helps !!
