Non-Interactive Installation
B-2 Oracle Application Server Installation Guide
B.2 Non-Interactive Installation
Non-interactive installations also use a response file to automate the Oracle
Application Server installation. In non-interactive installations, there is graphical
output and users may enter input.
Non-interactive installation of Oracle Application Server is also accomplished by
supplying the Oracle Universal Installer with a response file but without 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 you
have not provided responses to all of the installer prompts, you need to enter
information during the installation.
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 non-interactive installation of Oracle Application Server when there are specific
screens you want to observe during installation.
B.3 Pre-Installation
1. Log in as the root user.
prompt> su
2. Create an empty file.
#
3. Exit from the root user.
# exit
B.4 Notes for Silent and Non-Interactive Installations
This section describes special cases that are applicable when you are performing silent
or non-interactive installations.
■
Section B.4.1, "Installing OracleAS Certificate Authority"
B.4.1 Installing OracleAS Certificate Authority
If you are installing OCA, check the following:
■
If you are installing OCA against an existing Oracle Internet Directory, make sure
the Oracle Internet Directory has OracleAS Single Sign-On configured. If not, the
OCA Configuration Assistant will fail.
■
If you are installing OCA with a new Oracle Internet Directory, make sure you are
also configuring OracleAS Single Sign-On. If not, the OCA Configuration
Assistant will fail.
In interactive mode, the installer performs the checks for you and displays a warning
if the requirements are not met. However, in silent or non-interactive mode, the
installer is not able to display a warning.
