Typically, you run Oracle Universal Installer in interactive mode, which means you are prompted to provide information in windows. However, experienced users can also run Oracle Universal Installer in noninteractive (also called silent) mode by using response files. These are text files containing variables and values used by Oracle Universal Installer during the installation process.
Silent installations are recommended in cases when no interaction with the user is intended or when a non-graphical terminal is used. The user needs to first edit a response file to specify the components to install. With Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) release 1.7.x or earlier, the target installation system still requires login to a desktop system on Windows NT.
Using silent installation enables you to bypass the graphical user interface (GUI) of Oracle Universal Installer interactive mode. Response files are available in the \RESPONSE directory on the component CD-ROM. The directory contains files for the components listed in Table 3-7.
To copy and modify a response file:
\RESPONSE
directory on the component CD-ROM to your hard drive.
The Oracle Universal Installer Concepts Guide appears in HTML format.
To run Oracle Universal Installer and specify the response file:
FILENAME
.
C:\PROGRAM FILES\ORACLE\OUI\INSTALL> SETUP.EXE -RESPONSEFILE FILENAME [-SILENT] [-NOWELCOME]
The optional parameter -SILENT
specifies that Oracle Universal Installer be run in complete silent mode. If -SILENT
is invoked, the Welcome window is suppressed automatically. The optional parameter -NOWELCOME
suppresses the Welcome window. If you use -SILENT
, -NOWELCOME
is unnecessary.
