Create the Response File
Silent and Non-Interactive Installation B-3
B.5 Create the Response File
Before doing a silent or non-interactive installation, you must provide information
specific to your installation in a response file. The installer will fail if you attempt an
installation using a response file that is not configured correctly. Response files are text
files that you can create or edit in a text editor.
B.5.1 Creating Response Files from Templates
Templates for response files are available in the stage/Response directory on Disk 1
of the Oracle Application Server CD-ROM. Response file templates are available for
the following installation types:
See the template files for descriptions of the parameters in the file.
B.5.2 Creating Response Files by Using the Record Mode in the Installer
You can run the installer in record mode to save your inputs to a file that you can use
later as a response file. This feature is useful if you need to perform the same
installation on different computers.
To run the installer in record mode:
1. Start up the installer with the -record and -destinationFile parameters.
prompt> /path/to/runInstaller -record -destinationFile newResponseFile
Replace newResponseFile with the full path to the response file that you want the
installer to create. Example: /opt/oracle/myInfraResponse.rsp.
2. Enter your values in the installer screens. The installer will write these values to
the file specified in the -destinationFile parameter.
When you get to the Summary screen, the installer automatically writes all your
values to the specified file. At this point, you can complete the installation on this
computer, or you can exit without performing the installation.
Secure information, such as passwords, is not written to the file, so you must modify
the response file before you can use it.
B.5.3 Variables to Modify in the Response Files
For all installation types, modify the following variables:
