B.1 Silent Installation
Silent installation eliminates the need to monitor the Oracle Application Server
installation because there is no graphical output and no input by the user.
Silent installation of Oracle Application Server is accomplished by supplying the
Oracle Universal Installer with a response file and specifying the -silent flag on the
command line. The response file is a text file containing variables and parameter
values which provide answers to the installer prompts.
If this is a first time installation of Oracle Application Server, you must create the
oraInst.loc file before starting. File creation is described in
Section B.3,
"Pre-Installation" .
Following installation of Oracle Application Server, you need to run the root.sh
script as the root user. The root.sh script detects settings of environment variables
and enables you to enter the full path of the local bin directory.
Use silent installation of Oracle Application Server when there are similar installations
on more than one computer. Additionally, use silent install when performing the
Oracle Application Server installation from a remote location using the command line.
