Use the Silent Installer (Optional)

You can run any of the Oracle Universal Installers—including the Oracle Clinical Database Server, Database, Front End, or Reports Server Installers—in silent mode. This may be useful to promote uniform installations in multiple sites or computers.

Oracle Clinical ships with .rsp (response) files that include parameter prompts and sample parameter values for each component. They are located on the Oracle Clinical 5.4.1 media pack disk under Disk1\stage\Response in the .zip file for the application server or for the appropriate database operating system.

The table below lists each Oracle Clinical component, the response file name for each, and the section of this guide with information on the Installer parameters for each.

Oracle Clinical Database Server for Solaris	oracle.pharma.oc.server.unix.Complete.rsp	Gather Required Information for Oracle Clinical Database Server
Oracle Clinical Database Server for HP	oracle.pharma.oc.server.unix.Complete.rsp	Gather Required Information for Oracle Clinical Database Server
Oracle Clinical Database Server for Windows	oracle.pharma.oc.server.windows.Complete.rsp	Gather Required Information on Oracle Clinical Database Server for Windows
Oracle Clinical Database—fresh installation	oracle.pharma.oc.db.install.Complete.rsp	Gather Required Information for Oracle Clinical Database
Oracle Clinical Database—upgrade and configure	oracle.pharma.db.upgrade.install_type_1.rsp	Gather Required Information for Oracle Clinical Database
Oracle Clinical Database—reruns all the re-createable object scripts (views, packages, functions etc) against the database	oracle.pharma.db.upgrade.install_type_2.rsp	Gather Required Information for Oracle Clinical Database
Oracle Clinical Front End	oracle.pharma.oc.frontend.Custom.rsp	Gather Required Information for the Oracle Clinical Front End

Open the file in a text editor and enter values directly.
Run the file.
In UNIX:
```
./runInstaller
```
Or, if the database server has multiple Oracle Homes, then enter:
```
./runInstaller -invPtrLoc ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
```
For example:
```
./runInstaller -invPtrLoc /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0.0/dbhome_1/oraInst.loc
```
In Windows (as an administrator):
```
setup.exe -responseFile response_file_name
```
When you run the file at each location, edit the local parameters as required.

Alternatively, you can run the Installer once, entering values on screen, and record the process to create a response file.

In UNIX:

./runInstaller

Or, if the database server has multiple Oracle Homes, then enter:

./runInstaller -invPtrLoc ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc

In Windows (as an administrator):

setup.exe -record -destinationFile complete_path_to_response_file_name
