3.2.2.2 Optional Parameters When Specifying a Response File
Optional parameters you can use with the
-responseFile
flag are:
-
-nowelcome
- Use the-nowelcome
flag with the-responseFile
flag to suppress the Welcome dialog that appears during installation. -
-silent
- Use the-silent
flag with the-responseFile
flag to run OUI in complete silent mode. Note that the Welcome dialog is suppressed automatically. -
-force
- Use the-force
flag with the-responseFile
flag to suppress the dialog when specifying a new folder forORACLE_HOME
. -
-waitforcompletion
- Use the-waitforcompletion
flag with-silent
flag to wait for completion instead of spawning the java engine and exiting.
For example, on a UNIX machine, enter:
./runInstaller.sh -responseFile /tma/tmasna_linux_silent.rsp -silent
Note:
- Using the
-nowelcome
option with the-silent
option is unnecessary since the Welcome screen does not appear when you use the-silent
option. - If the
ORACLE_HOME
is not empty, use the-force
option to overwrite it; otherwise, you will get the following error message:SEVERE:OUI-10029:You have specified a non-empty directory to install this product. It is recommended to specify either an empty or a non-existent directory. You may, however, choose to ignore this message if the directory contains Operating System generated files or subdirectories like lost+found.
