Editing a Response File Template
Oracle provides response file templates for each product and each configuration tool.
About Response File Templates
For Oracle Database, the response file templates are located in the $ORACLE_HOME/install/response
directory. For Oracle Grid Infrastructure, the response file templates are located in the Grid_home
/install/response
directory.
Where, Grid_home is the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory path.
Note:
If you copied the software to a hard disk, then the response files are located in the $ORACLE_HOME/install/response
directory.
All response file templates contain comment entries, sample formats, examples, and other useful instructions. Read the response file instructions to understand how to specify values for the response file variables, so that you can customize your installation.
The following table lists the response files provided with this software:

Caution:
When you modify a response file template and save a file for use, the response file may contain plain text passwords. Ownership of the response file should be given to the Oracle software installation owner only, and permissions on the response file should be changed to 600. Oracle strongly recommends that database administrators or other administrators delete or secure response files when they are not in use.
