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...
$ Please specify a Unique Oracle Base directory, or remove previously installed products and their directories. Directory name should contain only valid alphanumeric characters, including '_', or '.' characters.

DO I need to update the OraInventory ?

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....

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.

  • 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,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.

    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

    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.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    Try restarting the listener service
    lsnrctl stop LISTENER
    lsnrctl start LISTENER
    and then start the EM service.
    emctl start dbconsole
    If in windows try restarting the services in control panel>Adminstartive tools>services and restart OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener.
    then start the EM console.

  • 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.

  • Error when creating Oracle12c PDB using DBCA response file in silent mode

    I am getting an Oracle dbca NullPointerException when trying to create a PDB (Pluggable Database) usingdbca response file in silent mode.
    I have a Oracle 12c CDB up and running, listener is also up, $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID are also set correctly.
    After database install and creating CDB using response files, I am now trying to create a PDB using dbca response file. Contents of dbca.rsp -
    [GENERAL]
    RESPONSEFILE_VERSION = "12.1.0"
    OPERATION_TYPE = "createPluggableDatabase"
    [CREATEPLUGGABLEDATABASE]
    SOURCEDB = "orcl"
    PDBNAME = "dev"
    CREATEPDBFROM = "DEFAULT"
    PDBADMINUSERNAME = "oracle"
    PDBADMINPASSWORD = "oracle"
    CREATEUSERTABLESPACE = "true" 
    I tried following commands:
    dbca -silent -responseFile /<file path>/dbca.rsp dbca -silent -createPluggableDatabase -responseFile /<file path>/dbca.rsp
    Both give same error:
    ---- Begin output of /u01/app/oracle/product/12c/db_1/bin/dbca -silent -responseFile /<file path>/dbca.rsp
    STDOUT:
    STDERR: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

    at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca.execute(Dbca.java:110) at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca.main(Dbca.java:184)
    However when I pass exact same parameters as command line arguments, dbca works absolutely fine and PDB is created: Following command runs succefully.
    dbca -silent -createPluggableDatabase -sourceDB orcl -pdbName dev -createPDBFrom default -pdbAdminUserName oracle -pdbAdminPassword oracle -createUserTableSpace true
    My environment need installation using response files only. I had used a dbca response file with "createDatabase" option for CDB and it worked fine. Error is observed only when I run it with OPERATION_TYPE as "createPluggableDatabase".
    There is an option to create PDBs along with CDB creation when OPERATION_TYPE is "createDatabase". But Oracle does not give flexibility to name PDBs in this option. If I ask Oracle to create 3 PDBs, it will name them itself like PDB01, PDB02, PDB03 and so on. This doesn't work in my deployment because of applications compile time dependencies on specific PDB names.

    Yes, I am pointing to correct response file. I have two of these. One for "createDatabase" and another one for "createPluggableDatabase".
    While the first one works absolutely fine, the one which creates PDBs always gives error.
    I tried renaming the response file like dbca_dev.rsp for PDB install but same error message. I read in another forum that rename dbca.rsp is not a good idea.
    So I kept it as dbca.rsp but built it using PDB template.
    When I try after removing -silent, it tries to launch a UI installer. Since I am in Amazon AWS platform, my instance is CentOS based which doesn't support Xwindows display.
    I am stuck with -silent install only. When I try with -progressOnly, I get exactly same error.
    Also tried removing some parameters but still get exact same error message.
    Tried same trick with "createDatabase" response file, now I see parameters missing error message.
    It seems like Oracle doesn't like response file install for "createPluggableDatabase".

    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?

  • Using ocm response file with opatch auto

    I am going to be installing the psu 6 for 11.2.0.3 GI and database. In the patch set update readme file Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set Update 11.2.0.3.6

    It says that the ocm response file is not optional so I created the response file successfully.
    My GI installation is owned by user id "grid" my database home is owned by user id "oracle".
    Does it matter which user that I used to create the ocm response file? I was logged in as oracle when I ran ./emocmrsp -no_banner -output /home/oracle/config.rsp
    I understand that I will invoke the opatch auto while logged in as root but just not sure if the response file is user environment specific?
    Any suggestions appreciated.
