How does AEM determine with config is applied (config...

[jayv25585659]

example:

- config.author

  - com.myhost.my-config-here.xml

- config.author.prod

  - com.myhost.my-config-here.xml

My AEM instance has the following runmodes (via /system/console/status-slingsettings):

Run Modes = [crx3tar-nofds, prod, s7connect, crx3, nosamplecontent, author]

 Which of my om.myhost.my-config-here.xml config is applied to the instance? thank you.

Hi @jayv25585659 

  In you case 

- config.author.prod

  - com.myhost.my-config-here.xml  will be applied. AEM will look for maximum match.

Hi @jayv25585659 

In AEM, every run mode tries to find out the best possible match available for a configuration.

If multiple configurations for the same PID are applicable like in your case here, the configuration with the highest number of matching run modes is applied. i.e. prod and author here.

So configuration from config.author.prod will be picked.
