You can specify the necessary installation parameters, such as what to install, the home directory, and so on, in one of two ways:

Installing in Silent Mode Without a Response File

To install an Administration Console or a Processing or Signaling Server in silent mode without using a response file:

  1. Edit the silentInstaller.sh file so that it defines your installation. The installer file is located in the directory:

    installation_directory/operating_system/Disk1/install

    Table 4-2 lists the parameters you can edit in the silentInstaller.sh file.

    Table 4-2 Parameter-value pairs in the silentInstaller.sh file

    Parameter Description

    INSTALL_TYPE

    Specifies whether you want to install an Administration Console or a Processing or Signaling Server.

    Do not edit this value in the response file.

    Mandatory

    Use:

    • 1 to install an Administration Console (this is the default)

    • 2 to install a Processing or Signaling Server

    Example:

    INSTALL_TYPE=1

    INSTALL_JVM

    Specifies whether to install one of the bundled JDKs or to use an already installed JDK.

    Mandatory

    In a production system, you should install one of the certified versions of the JDK provided by the installer. For test environments, you can use an already installed, supported JDK. Also for test environments, multiple Service Broker installations can share a single JDK if they reside on the same machine.

    Use:

    • 1 to install the JDK (this is the default)

    • 0 to use an already installed JDK

    Example:

    IS_INSTALL_JVM=1

    JAVA_HOME

    The path to the directory of your Java installation.

    Mandatory if the value of INSTALL_JVM is 0; optional otherwise

    The path should be the same as the environment variable JAVA_HOME for your Java installation.

    Example:

    JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/java"

    The default path is ~/OHOME1

    ORA_HOME_NAME

    The name of the Oracle home

    Mandatory

    If you have previously installed an Oracle product using the Oracle Universal Installer, you already have an Oracle home defined. If you want to reuse the existing Oracle home, enter its name here. When you use an existing Oracle home name, the value you specified for ORACLE_HOME is overridden with the existing Oracle home directory path.

    Example:

    ORACLE_HOME_NAME="ORACLE_HOME"

    The default Oracle home is OHOME1

    JVM_TYPE

    Specifies which JVM to install.

    Mandatory if the value of INSTALL_JVM is 1; optional otherwise

    Use:

    • 1 to install Sun HotSpot JDK

    • 2 to install Oracle JRockit JDK (this is the default)

    Example:

    JVM_TYPE=1


  2. In a command shell, navigate to the install directory.

  3. Enter the following command to launch the installer:

    ./silentInstaller.sh

    The installation progress is output to the console.

  4. When the installation is complete, press any key to exit the installation program.

    The directory structure described in "Directory Structure After Installation" is created on your server.

Installing in Silent Mode With a Response File

The installer response file includes corresponding parameters that are specified in the silentInstaller.sh file, plus additional parameters that you can specify for your installation. The installer response file is used with the runInstaller utility.

To install an Administration Console or a Processing or Signaling Server in silent mode using a response file:

  1. Edit and save the appropriate installer response file. There are two installer response files. Use the one that corresponds to the component you want to install:

    • OCSB.install_type_1.rsp for an Administration Console
