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.
Oracle Web Tier can be installed as described in Section 1.2, "Methods of Installation"; the Oracle Web Tier installer does not provide a mechanism for creating an Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
If you do not have a Fusion Middleware (EM) Control deployment on your system, use the procedure described in this section to create and enable a WebLogic Server domain which contains Oracle Java Required Files and Enterprise Manager.
Task 1: Install the Latest Oracle WebLogic Server in Silent Mode
Task 4: Start the Administration Server in the WebLogic Server Domain
After the domain is created, you can run the Web Tier installer in silent mode using the response files to associate your components with the domain.
See "Product Distribution" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server to obtain the latest software.
See "Running the Installation Program in Graphical Mode" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server to install Oracle WebLogic Server in silent mode.
Create a WLST script containing the following WLST commands to create the WebLogic Server domain:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
readTemplate('WebLogic_Server_Home/common/templates/domains/wls.jar')
cd('/Security/base_domain/User/admin_name')
cmo.setPassword('examplepassword')
cd('/Server/AdminServer')
cmo.setName('admin_server_name')
cmo.setListenPort(admin_server_port)
cmo.setListenAddress('admin_server_address')
writeDomain('DOMAIN_HOME')
closeTemplate()
exit()
For example, you could create a file called create_domain_7001.py that contained the following:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
readTemplate('/oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/common/templates/domains/wls.jar')
cd('/Security/base_domain/User/weblogic')
cmo.setPassword('ExamplePassword1')
cd('/Server/AdminServer')
cmo.setName('AdminServer')
cmo.setListenPort(7001)
cmo.setListenAddress('examplehost.exampledomain.com')
writeDomain('/oracle/Domains/ExampleSilentWTDomain')
closeTemplate()
exit()
To run the script:
Set the environment
cd WebLogic_Server_Home/common/bin
./commEnv.sh
Run the script using WLST. For example:
wlst path_to_script/create_domain_7001.py
Create a second script containing the following WLST commands to enable the WebLogic Server domain with JRF and EM:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
readDomain('DOMAIN_HOME')
addTemplate('MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/templates/applications/jrf_template_11.1.1.jar')
addTemplate('MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/templates/applications/oracle.em_11_1_1_0_0_template.jar')
updateDomain()
closeDomain()
exit()
For example, you could create a file called enable_domain_7001.py that contained the following:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
readDomain('/oracle/Domains/ExampleSilentWTDomain')
addTemplate('/oracle/Middleware/oracle_common/common/templates/applications/jrf_template_11.1.1.jar')
addTemplate('/oracle/Middleware/oracle_common/common/templates/applications/oracle.em_11_1_1_0_0_template.jar')
updateDomain()
closeDomain()
exit()
After the script is created, run it using WLST. For example:
wlst path_to_script/enable_domain_7001.py
After the domain is created, start the Administration Server. Go to the DOMAIN_HOME and run the startWebLogic.sh script. Using our example:
cd /oracle/Domains/ExampleSilentWTDomain ./startWebLogic.sh
Login to Fusion Middleware Control using the following URL:
http://administration_server_host:administration_server_port/em
Login to the Administration Server Console using the following URL:
http://administration_server_host:administration_server_port/console
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.
This section contains the following:
Table D-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 where you downloaded and extracted the archive file. These response files are designed for use in situations where you are performing a new installation of Oracle Web Tier.

The parameters you should set in this file are:
ORACLE_HOME. Specify the full path to your Oracle home directory.
MIDDLEWARE_HOME. Specify the full path to your Middleware home directory.
Decide whether or not you want to configure Oracle Configuration Manager for automatic software and security updates.
If you do not want to configure Oracle Configuration Manager, set DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES to true.
If you want to configure Oracle Configuration Manager, set SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT to true. Doing so also requires that you set the MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME and MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD parameters with your My Oracle Support user name and password, respectively.
For more information about Oracle Configuration Manager, see "Installing Oracle Configuration Manager" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
