This appendix describes how to install Oracle Web Services Manager in silent mode. This appendix contains the following topics:
Silent installation eliminates the need to monitor the Oracle WSM installation because there is no graphical output and no input by the user.
Silent installation of Oracle WSM is accomplished by supplying the Oracle Universal Installer with a response file and 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.
Use silent installation of Oracle Web Services Manager when there are similar installations on more than one computer. Additionally, use silent install when performing the Oracle WSM installation from a remote location using the command line.
Non-interactive installations also use a response file to automate the Oracle Web Services Manager installation. In non-interactive installations, there is graphical output and users may enter input.
Non-interactive installation of Oracle Web Services Manager 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 you have not installed Oracle Application Server on your computer, then you need to perform the following tasks:
On Windows
Create the following Registry key and value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Oracle / inst_loc = Inventory_Directory
The Inventory_Directory is the full path to your installer files. For example:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory
On Linux
Create theoraInst.loc file before starting.
Log in as the root user.
prompt> su
As root user, create the /var/opt/oracle directory, if it does not already exist.
# mkdir /var/opt/oracle
Create the /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc file. This file specifies the inventory directory that the installer will use.
Using a text editor such as vi or emacs, enter the following line in the file:
inventory_loc=oui_inventory_directory
Replace oui_inventory_directory with the full path to the directory where you want the installer to create the inventory directory. For example:
inventory_loc=/opt/oracle/oraInventory
Make sure that the install user has write permissions to this directory.
Create an empty /var/opt/oracle/oratab file.
# touch /var/opt/oracle/oratab
Exit from the root user.
# exit
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.
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:
Start up the installer with the -record and -destinationFile parameters.
On Windows:
E:\> setup.exe -record -destinationFile newResponseFile
On Linux:
prompt> /path/to/runInstaller -record -destinationFile newResponseFile
Replace newResponseFile with the full path to the response file that you want the installer to create. For example:
Windows: C:\myWSMResponse.rsp
Linux: /opt/oracle/myWSMResponse.rsp
Enter your values in the installer screens. The installer will write these values to the file specified in the -destinationFile parameter.
When you click the Install button, 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. To set the password, modify the sl_adminDialogReturn parameter. See the generated response file for a description of the parameter.
For all installations, modify at least the following variables:
UNIX_GROUP_NAME FROM_LOCATION ORACLE_HOME
The following shows an example of a response file for a silent installation of Oracle Web Services Manager.

To make the installer use the response file, specify the location of the response file that you want to use as a parameter when starting the installer.
To perform a non-interactive installation:
On Windows
E:\> setup.exe -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename
On Linux
prompt> setenv DISPLAY hostname:0.0 prompt> runInstaller -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename
To perform a silent installation, use the -silent parameter:
On Windows
E:\> setup.exe -silent -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename
On Linux
prompt> runInstaller -silent -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename
The success or failure of the non-interactive and silent installations is logged in the installActionstime_stamp.log file. Additionally, the silent installation creates the silentInstalltime_stamp.log file.
On Windows
The log files are created in the C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\Logs directory.
On Linux
The log files are created in the oraInventory/logs directory.
The silentInstalltime_stamp.log file contains the following line if the installation was successful:
The installation of OracleAS <Installation Type> was successful.
The installActionstime_stamp.log file contains specific information for each Oracle Application Server installation type.
One of the pieces of information in the response file is the installation password. The password information is in clear text.
To minimize security issues regarding the password in the response file, follow these guidelines:
Set the permissions on the response files so that they are readable only by the operating system user who will be performing the silent or non-interactive installation.
If possible, remove the response files from the system after the silent or non-interactive installation is completed.
You can perform a silent deinstallation of Oracle Application Server by supplying a silent deinstallation parameter to the response file you used for installation.
Modify the following parameter in your installation response file:
REMOVE_HOMES={"ORACLE_HOME_to_be_removed"}
For example:
On Windows
REMOVE_HOME="C:\oracle\ora_j2ee"
On Linux
REMOVE_HOME="/local_location/oracle_home"
To perform a silent deinstallation, use the -deinstall parameter when entering the command.
On Windows
E:\> setup.exe -silent -deinstall -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename
On Linux
prompt> runInstaller -silent -deinstall -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename
