Creating a Response File With Record Mode
You can create a new response file, based on the installation options you select, by using Oracle Universal Installer's record mode.
When you use record mode, Oracle Universal Installer records the installation session into a response file. You specify the name of the response file on the command line. The recorded response file is generated immediately after the Summary page, so you don't need to actually install your Oracle product to create the response file.
In other words, you can start the installation in Record mode and proceed through the installation options until you get to the Summary page. In the Summary Page, click Exit to stop the installation from proceeding with the installation. However, all the options you selected will be saved in the resulting response file.
You can use the newly created response file to run identical installation sessions on other computers in your organization.
Record mode can be also used during a silent installation. In those cases, the variable values specified in the original source response file will be recorded into the new response file.
The following sections describe how to use record mode on Windows and UNIX systems.
Using Record Mode
To record a new response file:
1.
At the command prompt, use the cd command to change to the directory that contains the Oracle Universal Installer executable file (setup.exe or runInstaller.sh) for your installation.
2.
Enter the following command:
setup -record -destinationFile <response_file_name> (on Windows)
./runInstaller -record -destinationFile <response_file_name> (on UNIX)
Replace the <response_file_name> with the complete path for the new response file. For example:
setup -record -destinationFile C:\response_files\install_oracle10g.rsp (on Windows)
./runInstaller -record -destinationFile /private/temp/install_oracle10g.rsp (on UNIX)
3.
Use the Oracle Universal Installer user interface to select your installation options. These will be recorded.
When Oracle Universal Installer displays the Summary page, you can either continue with the installation or exit.
Oracle Universal Installer saves your new response file using the path and file name you specified on the command line.
