A.1 Starting the Upgrade Assistant with Optional Arguments

This topic describes how to run the Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Assistant. You can run the Upgrade Assistant either in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode or in the response file mode.

You can use the optional command-line interface arguments, documented in this topic, to upgrade your Oracle Fusion Middleware components to the latest version. In addition, a response file can be generated to automate some of the upgrade tasks.

This topic contains the following sections:

• Starting the Upgrade Assistant with Additional Parameters (Optional)
  
• Starting the Upgrade Assistant in Response File Mode
  Silent or “hands free” upgrades can be performed using a response file. The response file can only be created after you have provided the information in the Upgrade Assistant screens.
