Saving an Installation Response File

Perform the following steps to save an installation response file to be used in a silent installation of Siebel CRM server modules. This task is part of Installing Siebel CRM Using Silent Mode.

Note: If you are adding languages to an existing installation, then do not use this procedure. Instead, follow the procedure in Editing an Oracle-Provided Installation Response File.

To save an installation response file

Navigate to the Siebel image location where the installer is located.
Start the Siebel CRM installer.
For information about starting this installer, see About Installation Tasks for Siebel CRM and Installing Siebel CRM.
Provide input to the installer wizard, as in a normal GUI installation.
In the Summary screen, click Save Response File.
Specify the location of the response file, for example, C:\temp\sesinstall.rsp, and save the file.
A response file is generated that includes data that is derived from the input that you made during the installer session.
After the response file is saved, click Cancel.
The installer session ends.
In addition to saving the response file at the location that you specified at the command line, the installer creates the Siebel installation directory at the location that you specified in the installer session (for example, C:\temp\sesinstall.rsp). Although the Siebel CRM module is not installed (because you clicked Cancel), this directory contains a subdirectory called inventory, which includes information about the product inventory.
For information about performing a Siebel Enterprise Server or Siebel Application Interface installation in silent mode, using the response file that you just generated, see Performing an Installation in Silent Mode.
