This appendix describes how to install and deinstall Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer from the command line in silent mode. This appendix contains the following topics:
For information about silent installation and deinstallation, refer to "Silent Installation and Deinstallation" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
Before doing a silent 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
Oracle recommends creating your response file by first running the install GUI, then clicking Save on the Installation Summary. You will be prompted for a name and location where you want to create this response file. After it is created, you can use it exactly as-is to replicate the installation on other systems, or modify it as needed.
This section contains the following:
Table E-1 lists the installation response files provided in the Disk1/stage/Response (on UNIX operating systems) or Disk1\stage\Response (on Windows operating systems) directory on the installation CD-ROM:

This section describes the classic_patch_install.rsp response file provided in the Disk1/stage/Response (on UNIX operating systems) or Disk1\stage\Response (on Windows operating systems) directory where you downloaded and extracted the Patch Set Installer archive file. This response file is designed for use in situations where you are updating an existing Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer Oracle home.
The contents of the Disk1/stage/Response/classic_patch_install.rsp response file on a UNIX system is shown below:
[ENGINE] #DO NOT CHANGE THIS. Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0 [GENERIC] #Provide the Oracle Home location. The location has to be the immediate child under the specified Middleware Home location. The Oracle Home directory name may only contain alphanumeric , hyphen (-) , dot (.) and underscore (_) characters, and it must begin with an alphanumeric character. The total length has to be less than or equal to 128 characters. The location has to be an empty directory or a valid WebTier Oracle Home.

The parameters you should set in this file are:
ORACLE_HOME. Specify the full path to your Oracle home directory.
MIDDLEWARE_HOME. Specify the full path to your Middleware home directory.
Decide whether or not you want to configure Oracle Configuration Manager for automatic software and security updates.
If you do not want to configure Oracle Configuration Manager, set DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES to true.
If you want to configure Oracle Configuration Manager, set SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT to true. Doing so also requires that you set the MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME and MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD parameters with your My Oracle Support user name and password, respectively.

This is the template response file that should be used if you have configured managed instances on your system. These managed instances must be removed before you remove the Oracle home.

This is the template response file that should be used if you have configured unmanaged instances on your system. These unmanaged instances must be removed before you remove the Oracle Home.

This is the template response file that should be used if you have already removed all managed and unmanaged instances that use this Oracle Home, and now you are ready to remove the Oracle Home. The equivalent using the GUI would be starting the deinstaller and selecting the Deinstall Oracle Home option on the Select Deinstallation Type. See Section E.2.3.3, "Contents of the |
In addition to these pre-existing response files, you can create your own response file by running the deinstaller GUI, then clicking Save on the Deinstallation Summary (Managed Instance) screen. You will be prompted for a name and location where you want to create this response file. After it is created, you can use it exactly as-is to replicate the deinstallation on other systems, or modify it as needed.
