You must generate, edit, and run a complete set of configuration XML to configure a Content Platform Engine application. If you are deploying multiple Content Platform Engine application instances on the same application server, you must generate, edit, and deploy a complete set of configuration files for each instance. Store the configuration files for each instance in a separate directory.

You can complete the configuration tasks by generating all the configuration XML files before editing, running, or verifying any of them; or you can generate, edit, run, and verify one file at a time.
