Oracle 10g Response File

When using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI), a response file is generated. This file contains the responses you enter to the various prompts in the OUI.

With Oracle Database 10g, you now have true silent capability. When running OUI in silent mode on a character mode console, you no longer need to specify an XServer or set the DISPLAY environment variable on UNIX. No GUI classes are instantiated, making the silent mode truly silent. The generated Response file can be used for future install needs.

The response file format has been changed. The changes make it less likely that you will need to edit the file for deployment to other systems.

These changes include:

• Only the variables used in dialogs needing user inputs in interview phases are recorded.
   

• Minimized differences in response files generated between releases.
   

• New header format to make it easier for you to edit the file.
