Hi,
There is no record option with 11gR2.
There is no need to use '-record' flag to record/save the response file. At Summary page of installation, 11gR2 installer provides option to save the response file. We can perfom the silent installation using this saved response file
Unix:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile <saved_response-file>
Windows:
c:\software\11.2.0.1\database\setup.exe -responseFile <saved_response-file>
For more details, kindly refer
11gR2 Install (Non-RAC): Understanding New Changes With All New 11.2 Installer (Doc ID 884232.1)
4th point in the document explains about this
Thanks,
