You will need to specify these deployment properties each time you deploy the application. If you plan on updating and deploy the application frequently and want to maintain these configuration changes, it is recommended that you make those configuration changes post-deployment using WLST or Fusion Middleware Control. Such configuration changes are saved in the deployment plan and persisted in the MDS repository and do not need to be set again when you redeploy the application. 7-16 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter ■ Select Deployment plan is on the machine where this web browser is running and enter the path to the plan or click Browse to find the plan. ■ Select Deployment plan is on the server where Enterprise Manager is runnin g and enter the path to the plan or click Browse to find the plan. 6.
