This appendix describes how to install and remove Oracle Web Tier 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 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 installation on other systems, or modify it as needed.
Table C-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 is the template response file that should be used if you only want to install the software on your system. You must run the Configuration Tool (either from the command line or the GUI) later before you can begin to manage these products. The equivalent using the GUI would be selecting Install Software - Do Not Configure option on the Select Installation Type Screen. See Section C.2.1.3, "Contents of the |

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 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 Screen. See Section C.2.2.3, "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 Screen (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.
