Automating Oracle Server Installation using response file

I am automating Oracle Server Installation using response file. No Installer page should be displayed, except 'Optional Config Tools' page at the end of the installation showing the list of optional configuration tools e.g Net Configuration Assistant, Database Configuration Assistant, and Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant. All other pages would not be displayed.
My response file doesn't seem to work this way. During installation, it displays the 'Create Database' page asking whether you want Database Configuration Assistant to be automatically launched at the end of the installation for database creation. How do I prevent this page from displaying, while selecting default option (Yes) using response file?

Provide info about the OS you are using and Oracle version.

Unable to create sample schema using response file

Installed oracle 11g r1 on Linux server using response file (silent mode). I wanted to install the sample schema for testing so I updated the sample_schemas section in $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/templates/dbcreate.dbc
<option name="SAMPLE_SCHEMA" value="true">
<tablespace id="USERS"/>
</option>
After the installation I noticed sample schemas HR, SH were not created.
-     Do we have to manually create the sample schemas by running the individual scripts?
-     Also could not find the master script mksample.sql in the $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema directory.
Please let me know if I am missing any parameter in dbcreate.dbc.
Thank you,

Thank you,You can't install manually the sample schemas since they come in a "pluggable tablespace" Examples which is automatically appended to your database by DBCA. If you would miss choosing the option for the same, you would need to get them created through the Examples Media CD and follow the instructions given here.

Oracle 10g password in response file

Hi guys,
I am trying to install oracle 10.2.0.1 on solaris using response file. The "funny" thing is that when setting passwords to something like 0RAcle1 (first char is "zero"). it throws an error:
>
INFO: Setting variable 's_superAdminSamePasswdAgain' to '*Protected value, not to be logged*'. Received the value from response file.
INFO: OUI-10155:Error while setting variable s_superAdminSamePasswdAgain: The password must start with a character for user
INFO: Setting variable 's_superAdminSamePasswdAgain' to '*Protected value, not to be logged*'. Received the value from the variable calculation.
User Selected: S&top installation of this component only.
>
I've tried with password within "" or wiothout - same result.
If I set the same passowrds to a simple word, like "password" installation works fine.
Are there any limitations on settings the password?
Thank you,
kido

Yes - it is in the install doc :-P http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15690/inst_task.htm#sthref771

To deinstall Grid Agent using response file

HI.
I have installed Agent on Oracle 10g using response file but now need to uninstall.
I need to uninstall since after deleting old Agent home the response installer is complaining that I need to remove everything from old Agent home
I have searched the same Oracle doc that I used to do the install, but can see no info on how to remove.
ANy ideas much appreciated thanks.
I should add that the original Agent Home has now been completely removed. yet when I run this
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/solaris_x86/response/additional_agent.rsp
The following response is returned:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall2010-06-25_10-21-17AM/jre/1.4.2/bin/java. Please wait...

I have already removed everything from the Agent home (at OS level) but get error:
Starting deinstall
No products selected for deinstall
Yet still cant start the install....
Edited by: user11981168 on 25-Jun-2010 08:01

Depending on the agent version you can use the /runinstaller (without response file) as described here
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/install.102/e10953/deinstalling_agent.htm#DAFEEBEG
If you want to install the agent using:
a- the same oracle home name and/or
b- the same directory
you have to delete the "old agent" home from the inventory. This can be done by "detaching" the home you want to remove.

Can't login to repository DB after installing EM using response file

Anyone can help me?
I installed EM 10g grid control 10.1.0.3 on solaris 9, it was a silent installation with response file, with new db. I specified the passwords for sysman, sys,system and dbsnmp in the response file, the installation went smoothly, but after that, when I tried to login to the repository database using the passwords which I set in the response file, it told me that my password was wrong! but the account status are all 'OPEN'. So I have to change the passwords mannually again. Is it OK to specify password in the response file?
Anyone can help me?
The following were the account status after EM 10g installation
SQL> select username, account_status from dba_users;
USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS
SYS OPEN
SYSTEM OPEN
DBSNMP OPEN
SYSMAN OPEN
MGMT_VIEW OPEN
PERFSTAT OPEN

Hi daryle
the passwords are all "password" or "sysman", no funny chars.
the following are the required items in the response file
FROM_LOCATION="/opt/install_em_grid/Disk1/stage/products.xml"
ORACLE_HOME="/opt/app/oracle_em/product/10.1.0/em_1"
REMOVE_HOMES={"/opt/app/oracle_em/product/10.1.0/em_1"}

sl_adminPwds={"password", "password", "password"}
sl_adminPwdsConfirm={"password", "password", "password"}
s_dbSid="emrepos"
s_globalDBName="emrepos.home.com"
I installed again with this response file, everything going up ok, the only problem is that I can not login to the respository database with the password i set in my response file. that means I HAVE TO change them at the db site.

Is Oracle server installation a pre-req for installing IFS 1.1 on NT?

I have Oracle 8.1.7 server installed on a
solaris box. I want to install IFS 1.1 on
my NT. I did a Oracle 8.1.7 client install
and proceded with the iFS 1.1 installation.
Looks like iFS 1.1 installer on NT needs
Oracle HTTPD server to be running. This
HTTPD server seems to be packaged only
with the Oracle server installer and not
the client installer.
null

You're right. But you don't have to install the whole Oracle server on the machine where you want to install iFS. Just start the server installation, go to a custom install, and deselect everything except the Oracle HTTP Server component. That's all iFS needs on the middle tier machine (where you installed the Oracle client).

How i install oracle client with ODBC using response file method

Hi,
I have managed to create a response file using OUI. Currently, I do not know what are the methods which i can install a group of computers using this response file. Any advise
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Tony

Presumably, any method that allows you to remotely run code on the group of computers would allow you to do a silent install of the Oracle client and ODBC driver. I know Microsoft and various third parties sell such tools, but I'm not enough of a Windows admin to know anything about the relative benefits of the products in this category.

Thanks for any kind of tip or direction !!!

Neither OpenSSO nor CentOS are Oracle products and although you're using VirtualBox somewhere within your kit, your question has no place in these OTN forums.
Oracle may have briefly acquired OpenSSO when they purchased Sun Microsystems but has since thrown it out to the open development community. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSO
Additionally, you cross-posted your inquiry to at least one other forum site and failed to mention that fact:
http://streamshare.streamserve.com/Forum/Topic/?topicID=4955
That is poor forum etiquette.
So, to avoid people duplicating efforts to assist by saying the same thing that you might have already been told elsewhere, this thread is locked.

Oracle server Installation

I am Installing Oracle server 9i Software on Windows 2003 Sever operatin system.
The source Software are actualy allocated in another server with the following Structure file system:
e:\oracle\disk1
e:\oracle\disk2
e:\oracle\disk3
I wrote as source software to the oracle unversal installer but it Ask me for the second disk?
What I have to do?

I read the following related to oracle universal installer:
OUI allows silent installation, which is especially useful for work sataions that do not support a graphical interface. You can capture the response to each installer question in a response file and use the file for future installations. Installer activities and result statuses are logged into files that you can review after installation.
Does any one have an idea how to achieve this, in details if possible?
Thanks in advance

Error in EM console after silent install using response file

Hi,
I'm trying to install oracle 10g release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) on RHEL 5 using a response file by the silent installation method. The response file itself had been generated by running a normal GUI based installation along with the record option. The same file is later being used for the aforesaid silent installation. All the installation steps go on smoothly and all the messages confirm that the installation was successfull. The database is opening and functioning smoothly on the SQL prompt and so are the listener and EM dbconsole service. But when I try to access the EM Console on the web browser, it gives a 500 Internal Error java.lang.NullPointerException.
The following is the exact grab of the error

Install Oracle 11g 2 with response file

Using the steps detailed here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24187/advance.htm I was able to create a response file for Oracle client 11.2.0.1.win32. I created the response file by starting a manual installation (On a Windows 7 client) and then clicking on the option to create and save a response file. I exited out of the Oracle install before completing it.
I then used this response file during a Windows 7 unattended install using this at the command prompt: setup.exe -silent -nowelcome -nowait -noconfig - responseFile [location]
My question is how do I set up variables in the response file so that it will work on installs for other users?
# This variable holds the hostname of the system as set by the user.
# It can be used to force the installation to use an alternative
# hostname rather than using the first hostname found on the system
# (e.g., for systems with multiple hostnames and network interfaces). ORACLE_HOSTNAME=[HOW DO I SETUP A VARIABLE HERE FOR THE USER'S PCNAME?]
# Complete path of the Oracle Home ORACLE_HOME=C:\app\[HOW DO I SETUP A VARIABLE FOR THE USER's FOLDER HERE?]\product\11.2.0\client_1
# Complete path of the Oracle Base. ORACLE_BASE=C:\app\[HOW DO I SETUP A VARIABLE FOR THE USER's FOLDER HERE?]
What variables can I use so that I can use a single response file for multiple users?

I know no way of doing so, but I am not a Windows expert. For the last two parameters (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE), it is best practice to have these values the same across multiple machines, for ease of maintainability - think of future maintenance scripts you will likely have to write - if these parameters are the same across many computers, your scripting would be much easier/simpler/cleaner

Error installing 11gR1 using Response file on Win 7 b/c version 6.1 not 6.0

Hi everyone, I am hoping someone can help me, I searched the forum but I couldn't find anything similar to the problem I am having.
I have just got a new laptop with Win 7. I have the 11gR1 64bit Oracle download files and I am trying to install it using the command prompt with --responsefile.
The install fails when it is doing the prereq checks for checking CertifiedVersions. I know if I just executed setup.exe and went through the screens I could bypass this, but I need to install it with my response file. Anyone know how I can get around this?
Here is the output from the install:
================================
Starting execution of Prerequisites...
Total No of checks: 11

Expected result: One of 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0

Thanks in advance!

Hi;
Microsoft Windows 7 certification will begin with Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.x). That means, Oracle Database 11gR2 will be the first Oracle Database product certified/supported with Microsoft Windows 7.
You need to download 11gR2 (11.2.0.x).
For details:
Is Microsoft Windows 7 certified to install/run Oracle Database Server/Client ? [ID 952302.1]
