Before performing a silent installation, you must provide information specific to your installation in a response file. Response files are text files that you can create or edit in a text editor. The Installer will fail if you attempt a silent installation using a response file that is not configured correctly.
Several default response files, which you can use as templates and customize for your environment, are included in the installation media. These default response files are located in the Disk1/stage/Response directory on UNIX, or in the Disk1\stage\Response directory on Windows.

Your response files contain certain passwords required by the Installer. To minimize security issues regarding these passwords 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 installation.
If possible, remove the response files from the system after the silent installation is completed.
