What happens to the run mode specific configuration, when I change that OSGi configuration through web console?

I have a configuration, which has different property values for different run modes of my AEM. And, I have multiple sling:OsgiConfig under different folders in my CRX repository, like config.author, config.publish. So if I want to change that configuration through the web console, I can see only one configuration, so, if I am changing that configuration, how will i be able to know that I changed which run mode specific configuration file?

What I understood from various links on web, is that-

I changed the configuration A from the webconsole-

  1. That configuration A is NOT already present in the repository ---- a new sling:OsgiConfig is created in the repository inside the /apps/{somewhere} and generelly this {somewhere} is /system/config
  2. The configuration A already present in the repository--- then, suppose the configuration came from /libs/foo/foundation/config then, your configs are saved in the folder /apps/foo/foundation/config or gets overwritten in the same location
  3. if the settings are changed by the admin, then, the configurations are saved in *.config file inside /crx-quickstart/launchpad/config

And, the configuration settings changed through web console are applied to the current run mode, irrespective of the current run mode, or the location of the config settings.

As Thomas wrote, the changes you do in WebConsole are not applied to existing sling:OsgiConfig nodes in CRXDE, instead, they are written into separate text files. These configurations are not run mode specific.

It means, that they will be applied under any run mode you start your AEM instance, until there will be config for this component under /libs or /apps (which have higher priority).

More on this topic, you can find there.
