Installing Oracle Data Service Integrator Using Console or Silent Mode

This section describes how to install Oracle Data Service Integrator using either Console mode or Silent mode. Console mode is an interactive installation that you can use on UNIX systems without a graphics (windowing) workstation.

Silent mode is a non-interactive installation on a Windows or UNIX system. In Silent mode, the installer application uses a properties file to obtain installation parameters.

The chapter includes the following sections:

Figure 3-1 illustrates the current step in the overall installation process.

For additional information about installation prerequisites, see “Installation Notes” on page 1-3 in Chapter 1, “Preparing to Install Oracle Data Service Integrator.”

 

Installing Using Console Mode

This section describes the console-mode installation procedure.

Note: You cannot install Oracle Data Service Integrator in console mode on Solaris systems running in a Japanese locale. In cases when you are installing on a Japanese Solaris system, change your locale in the shell in which you are installing to English, and then install the product. After Oracle Data Service Integrator is installed, you can run it in a Japanese locale.

To install Oracle Data Service Integrator on a UNIX system in console mode:

  1. Change to the directory (cd) that contains the Oracle Data Service Integrator installer.
  2. Start the installation program.

    3. The installer file name has the following form:

    filename.bin

    where filename is the name of the Oracle Data Service Integrator installation program specific to your platform. For example, enter the following to start the Solaris version of the Oracle Data Service Integrator installation program:

    sh odsi1030_solaris32.bin -mode=console

    Similarly, enter the following to start the Linux version of the Oracle Data Service Integrator installation program:

    ./odsi1030_linux32.bin -mode=console

    A message appears indicating that the software is being extracted, followed by a welcome message, as shown in the following text: 

    <---- Oracle Installer - Oracle Data Service Integrator 10.3 ---->
    Welcome:
    --------
    This installer will guide you through the installation of Oracle Data Service Integrator 10.3. Type "Next" or enter to proceed to the next prompt. If you want to change data entered previously, type "Previous". You may quit the installer at any time by typing "Exit".

  8. The installation begins and the installation status is displayed as it progresses. When the installation is complete, “Congratulations!” is displayed. Press Enter to exit the installer.

    9. This completes the Console mode installation process.

 

Using Silent Console Mode to Install Oracle Data Service Integrator

The Windows, UNIX, and Linux versions of the installer provide a noninteractive, or silent-mode installation, that you can use in cases when you want to install Oracle Data Service Integrator without needing to supply information from the keyboard during the installation process. Instead, the installer gets the required information from a properties file that you provide.

Before launching a silent-mode installation, make sure that all installation prerequisites are met and that all the information in the properties file is correct. After the silent installer is started, it proceeds in the background and does not report exceptions. Some exceptions are ignored.

However, if a previously installed copy of Oracle Data Service Integrator is detected, a dialog box appears asking if you want to override the old version. Other exceptions cause the installer to fail. For example, if the specified BEA home directory <bea_home> or the specified Oracle Data Service Integrator install directory (USER_INSTALL_DIR) do not exist or are incorrect, the installer fails.

Note: On UNIX systems, the installer displays the message Installation Complete when it finishes. This message does not necessarily indicate that the installer was successful; it means only that the process has finished running.

If a fatal exception occurs during installation, the installer displays a message and no changes are made to the system.

Using Silent Mode on Windows and UNIX Systems

This section describes how to install Oracle Data Service Integrator on Windows and UNIX systems using Silent Mode.

To install using silent mode:

  1. Create the required installer properties file.

    2. The content of the file is described in Exploring the Silent Mode Installer Properties File. You can use any legal file name for the installer properties file. Verify that the <BEAHOME>, <USER_INSTALL_DIR>, and other values specified in the properties file are correct and that all requirements have been met.

  2. Open a command window.
  3. Navigate to the directory containing the Oracle Data Service Integrator installer.
    • On Windows, the installer application is:
      • odsi1030_win32.exe
    • On UNIX and Linux, the installer application is:

      • filename.bin

      where filename.bin is the name of the Oracle Data Service Integrator installation program specific to your platform; for example, odsi1030_solaris32.bin for the Solaris version of Oracle Data Service Integrator.

      You will find similarly-named installer files for all UNIX and Linux versions of Oracle Data Service Integrator.

  4. Run the installer application, specifying the properties file and the log file name as options.
    • On Windows, run the following command:

      • odsi1030_win32.exe -mode=silent
      -silent_xml=<      drive:\properties_file_path>
      -log=<      drive:\log_file_path>

      where drive is the letter that identifies the hard disk drive, properties_file_path is the complete pathname of the Oracle Data Service Integrator silent installation properties file, and log_file_path is the complete pathname of the log file.

      For example, you could enter the following:

      odsi1030_win32.exe -mode=silent
      -silent_xml=c:\temp\silent.xml
      -log=c:\temp\logfile.txt

      You are returned to the command prompt and the Oracle Data Service Integrator installation preparation dialog box is briefly displayed. The installation proceeds in the background with the information specified in the installer properties file.

      To verify that the installer is running, open the Windows Task Manager. The installer is listed as the javaw.exe process.

    • On UNIX, run the following command:
      • sh odsi1030_solaris32.bin -mode=silent
      	-silent_xml=complete_properties_file_path
      	-log=complete_log_file_path

      where complete_properties_file_path is the complete pathname of the properties file and complete_log_file_path is the complete pathname of the log file. A complete path is required, even when the file resides in the same directory as the odsi1030_solaris32.bin file.

      The message Preparing to Install is displayed. After the installer decompresses the required files, the installation proceeds with the information specified in the installer properties file. When the process is successful, Installation Complete is displayed.

    • On Linux, run the following command:
      • ./odsi1030_linux32.bin -mode=silent
      	-silent_xml=complete_properties_file_path
      	-log=complete_log_file_path

      where complete_properties_file_path is the complete pathname of the properties file and complete_log_file_path is the complete pathname of the log file. A complete path is required, even when the file resides in the same directory as the odsi1030_linux32.bin file.

      The message Preparing to Install is displayed. After the installer decompresses the required files, the installation proceeds with the information specified in the installer properties file. When the process is successful, Installation Complete is displayed.
