Running Postinstallation Configuration Using Response File

You can use a response file to complete postinstallation tasks on one or more servers simultaneously.

Complete this procedure to run configuration assistants with the executeConfigTools command and a response file.

1. Edit the response file and specify the required passwords for your configuration. You can use the response file created during installation, located at $ORACLE_HOME/install/response/product_timestamp.rsp. For example:

   For Oracle Database (oracle user)

   oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=password
   oracle.install.config.emAdminPassword=password

   For Oracle Grid Infrastructure (grid user)

   grid.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=password
   grid.install.config.emAdminPassword=password

2. Change directory to the Oracle home containing the installation software. For example:

   For Oracle Grid Infrastructure:

   cd Grid_home

   Where, Grid_home is the path to the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory /u01/app/19.0.0/grid

   For Oracle Database:

   cd $ORACLE_HOME

3. Run the configuration script using the following syntax:

   For Oracle Grid Infrastructure:

   $ ./gridSetup.sh -executeConfigTools -responseFile Grid_home/install/response/product_timestamp.rsp

   For Oracle Database:

   $ ./runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile $ORACLE_HOME/install/response/product_timestamp.rsp

   For Oracle Database, you can also run the response file located in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/response/:

   $ ./runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/response/db_install.rsp

   The postinstallation configuration tool runs the installer in the graphical user interface mode, displaying the progress of the postinstallation configuration. Specify the [-silent] option to run the postinstallation configuration in the silent mode.

   For example, for Oracle Grid Infrastructure:

   $ ./gridSetup.sh -executeConfigTools -responseFile /u01/app/19.0.0/grid/response/grid_2016-01-09_01-03-36PM.rsp [-silent]

   For Oracle Database:

   $ ./runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/inventory/response/db_2016-01-09_01-03-36PM.rsp [-silent]
