Ref. Oracle® Database Readme
10g Release 2 (10.2)
Part Number B14233-04
40.3.2 Running Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) in Silent Mode
In Chapter 2, "Creating an Oracle Database", the following information should be included.
Silent mode does not have a user interface (other than what you initially input on the command line) or user interaction. It outputs all messages, including information, errors, and warnings, to a log file.
From the command line, enter the following to see all of the DBCA options that are available when using silent mode:
dbca -help
The following sections contain examples that illustrate the use of silent mode.
DBCA Silent Mode Example 1: Creating a New Database To create a clone database, enter the following on the command line:
% dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName Transaction_Processing.dbc
-gdbname ora10i -sid ora10i -datafileJarLocation
/private/oracle10i/ora10i/assistants/dbca/templates -datafileDestination
/private/oracle10i/ora10i/oradata -responseFile NO_VALUE
-characterset WE8ISO8859P1
DBCA Silent Mode Example 2: Creating a Seed Template To create a seed template, enter the following on the command line:
% dbca -silent -createCloneTemplate -sourceDB ora10i -sysDBAUserName
sys -sysDBAPassword change_on_install -templateName copy_of_ora10i.dbc
-datafileJarLocation /private/oracle/ora10i/assistants/dbca/templates
