It is recommended to modify all the configurations using the administration console. When you need to make any configuration CHANGES, you need do the apply changes and sync them. Any changes you do at local repository LEVEL are discarded upon the next restart of that server because the sync is always from DMGR to local repository and changes are not saved to master repository. For example, if you edit a configuration file of SERVER1 and restart it. the changes are lost. When the server STARTS it SYNCS the configuration from master repository.
