A.7.2 Running Postinstallation Configuration Using Response File

Complete this procedure to run configuration assistants with the executeConfigTools command.

  1. Edit the response file and specify the required passwords for your configuration. You can use the response file created during installation, located at $ORACLE_HOME/install/response/product_timestamp.rsp. For example:

    For Oracle Database (oracle user)

    oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=password
    oracle.install.config.emAdminPassword=password

    For Oracle Grid Infrastructure (griduser)

    grid.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=password
    grid.install.config.emAdminPassword=password
  2. Change directory to the Oracle home containing the installation software. For example:

    For Oracle Grid Infrastructure:

    cd Grid_home

    Where, Grid_home is the path to the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory /u01/app/18.0.0/grid

    For Oracle Database:

    cd $ORACLE_HOME
  3. Run the configuration script using the following syntax:

    For Oracle Grid Infrastructure:

    $ ./gridSetup.sh -executeConfigTools -responseFile Grid_home/install/response/product_timestamp.rsp

    For Oracle Database:

    $ ./runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile $ORACLE_HOME/install/response/product_timestamp.rsp

    For Oracle Database, you can also run the response file located in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/response/:

    $ ./runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/response/db_install.rsp

    The postinstallation configuration tool runs the installer in the graphical user interface mode, displaying the progress of the postinstallation configuration. Specify the [-silent] option to run the postinstallation configuration in the silent mode.

    For example, for Oracle Grid Infrastructure:

    $ ./gridSetup.sh -executeConfigTools -responseFile /u01/app/18.0.0/grid/response/grid_2016-01-09_01-03-36PM.rsp [-silent]

    For Oracle Database:

    $ ./runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/inventory/response/db_2016-01-09_01-03-36PM.rsp [-silent]
