Upgrading Oracle GoldenGate using OUI – Silent

These instructions apply to new installations, as well as upgrades.

You can perform a silent installation from the command console if the system has no X-Windows interface or to perform an automated installation. Silent installations can ensure that multiple users in your organization use the same installation options when they install your Oracle products.

You perform a silent installation by running a response file. You can create a response file by selecting the Save Response File option during an interactive OUI session or by editing a template. To run a response file, issue the following command.

runInstaller -silent -nowait -responseFile absolute_path_to_response_file

The response files and the template are stored in the response subdirectory of the Oracle GoldenGate installation directory. The Oracle GoldenGate response file contains a standard set of Oracle configuration parameters in addition to parameters that are specific to Oracle GoldenGate. These parameters correspond to the fields in the interactive session.

Note:

If you are upgrading an existing Oracle GoldenGate installation with the silent option, you might get the following warning:

WARNING:OUI-10030: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. Do you want to proceed with installation in this Oracle Home?

Press ENTER to continue.
