This appendix describes how to install Application Developer from the command line in silent mode. This appendix contains the following topics:
Silent installation eliminates the need to monitor the Application Developer installation because no graphical output is displayed and no input by the user is required.
Silent installation of Application Developer is accomplished by supplying the installer with a response file and using the -silent flag on the command line. The response file is a text file containing variables and parameter values which provide answers to the installer prompts.
Note:
For UNIX users, if this is a first time installation of Application Developer, you must create the
oraInst.loc file before starting. Please refer to Section D.3.1, "UNIX Users: Creating the oraInst.loc File" for more information.
Following installation of Application Developer, you need to run the root.sh script as the root user. The root.sh script detects settings of environment variables and enables you to enter the full path of the local bin directory.
Note:
For Windows users, if this is a first time installation of Application Developer, you must create the registry keys before starting. Registry key creation is described in Section D.3.2, "Windows Users: Creating the Registry Key"Before doing a silent installation, you must provide information specific to your installation in a response file. The installer will fail if you attempt an installation using a response file that is not configured correctly. Response files are text files that you can create or edit in a text editor
A sample response file called sampleResponse.rsp is provided in the Disk1/stage/Response (on UNIX operating systems) or Disk1\stage\Response (on Windows operating systems) directory on the installation CD-ROM. After using this response file to install Application Developer, you will still need to run the Configuration Wizard to configure the software.
The only parameters you need to specify in this file are ORACLE_HOME and MIDDLEWARE_HOME. See Section D.2.1, "Contents of the sampleResponse.rsp File" to view the contents of this file.
sampleResponse.rsp FileThis section shows the contents of the Disk1/stage/Response/sampleResponse.rsp response file on a UNIX system:
[ENGINE] #DO NOT CHANGE THIS. Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0 [GENERIC] #Provide the Oracle Home location. The location has to be the immediate child under the specified Middleware Home location. The Oracle Home directory name may only contain alphanumeric , hyphen (-) , dot (.) and underscore (_) characters, and it must begin with an alphanumeric character. The total length has to be less than or equal to 128 characters. The location has to be an empty directory or a valid Application Developer Oracle Home. ORACLE_HOME=/home/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_APPDEV1 #Provide existing Middleware Home location. MIDDLEWARE_HOME=/home/Oracle/Middleware [SYSTEM] [APPLICATIONS] [RELATIONSHIPS]
There are two ways to response create your own response file:
Use the sampleResponse.rsp file as a template and copy it to any location on your system. You can then alter the contents as needed and use it for your silent installation.
Run the installation GUI, then click Save on the Installation Summary Screen. You will be prompted for a name and location where you want to create this response file. After it is created, you can use it exactly as-is to replicate the installation on other systems, or modify it as needed.
Your response files contain certain passwords required by the installer. To minimize security issues regarding these passwords in the response file, follow these guidelines:
Set the permissions on the response files so that they are readable only by the operating system user who will be performing the silent installation.
If possible, remove the response files from the system after the silent installation is completed.
This section covers the pre-installation tasks that may be required before you are able to perform a silent installation.
The following topics are covered:
oraInst.loc FileThe Oracle inventory directory is used by the installer to keep track of all Oracle products installed on the computer. The inventory directory is stored in a file called oraInst.loc. If this file does not already exist on your system, you must create it before starting a silent installation. This file is used by the installer.
Log in as the root user.
prompt> su
Using a text editor such as vi or emacs, create the oraInst.loc file in the directory of your choice. The contents of the file consist of the following two lines:
inventory_loc=oui_inventory_directory inst_group=oui_install_group
Replace oui_inventory_directory with the full path to the directory where you want the installer to create the inventory directory. Then, replace oui_install_group with the name of the group whose members have write permissions to this directory.
Exit from the root user.
# exit
If you have not installed Application Developer on your computer, then you need to create the following Registry key and value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Oracle / inst_loc = [inventory_directory]
Replace Inventory_Directory with the full path to your installer files. For example:
C:Program Files\Oracle\Inventory
The syntax for running the installer from the command line on UNIX systems is shown below:
runInstaller [-mode] [-options] [(<CommandLinevariable=Value>)*]
On Windows systems:
setup.exe [-mode] [-options] [(<CommandLinevariable=Value>)*]
Table D-1 Installer Command Line Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Installation Modes - Only One Mode Can be Specified |
|
|
|
Launches the installer in GUI mode. This is the default mode and is used if no mode is specified on the command line. |
|
|
Install in silent mode. The installer must be passed either a response file or command line variable value pairs. |
|
|
Launches the installer in GUI mode for deinstallation. |
|
|
Launches the installer in GUI mode but only checks the prerequsites. No software is installed. |
|
|
Launches the installer in GUI mode and performs all prequisite and validation checking, but does not install any software. |
|
|
Performs all prerequisite and validation checking in silent mode. You must pass the installer either a response file or a series of command line variable value pairs. |
|
Installation Options |
|

If this is the first time you are installing on your system (meaning there is no pre-existing Oracle Inventory location), use the following command to perform a silent installation on UNIX systems:
./runInstaller -silent -response file -invPtrLoc file
On Windows systems:
setup.exe -silent -response file -invPtrLoc file
Below is a full example of this command for UNIX systems:
./runInstaller -silent -response /home/Oracle/response/appdev_inst.rsp -invPtrLoc /home/jdoe/oraInst.loc
On Windows operating systems:
setup.exe -silent -response C:\home\Oracle\response\appdev_inst.rsp -invPtrLoc c:\home\Oracle\oraInst.loc
If you have already installed an Oracle product on your system and do not need to specify an inventory location, then you can use a command similar to the following on UNIX systems:
./runInstaller -silent -response file
On Windows systems:
setup.exe -silent -response file
Below is a full example of this command on a UNIX system:
./runInstaller -silent -response /home/Oracle/response/appdev_inst.rsp
On Windows operating systems:
setup.exe -silent -response c:\home\Oracle\response\appdev_inst.rsp
Below is a sample output from a silent install using the sampleResponse.rsp template:
