This appendix describes how to install and deinstall Oracle Forms and Reports from the command line in silent mode. This appendix contains the following topics:
Dec 08, 2011 CleanApp 3 is now completely Leopard-compliant and runs smoothly on Mac OS X 10.5. To maintain backwards compatibility, we still fully support Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. CleanApp relies on sophisticated methods for analysing files and applications. There is even a background service monitoring all file activity – this way, no application can hide anything from you. Furthermore, CleanCommunity significantly enhances CleanApp's ability to find unnecessary data eating up space on your hard drive.
A.1 Understanding Silent Installation and Deinstallation
You can use the Oracle Universal Installer's silent installation mode to bypass the graphical user interface and supply the necessary information in a response file. This method is most useful when installing the same product multiple times on multiple hosts. By using a response file, you can automate the installation of a product for which you know the installation parameters.
For information about silent installation and deinstallation and response files, refer to 'Silent Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation and Deinstallation' in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
A.2 Using Oracle Forms and Reports Response Files
Before doing a silent installation, you must provide information specific to your installation in a response file. A response file is a specification file containing information you normally fetch through the Oracle Universal Installer user interface during an interactive installation session. Each answer is stored as a value for a variable identified in the response file. For example, values for Oracle home or installation type can be set automatically within the response file. Response files are text files that you can create or edit in any text editor.
The installer will fail if you attempt an installation using a response file that is not configured correctly. Oracle recommends creating your response file by first running the install GUI, then clicking Save on the Installation Summary screen. You will be prompted for a name and location where you want to create this response file. After it is created, you can use it exactly as-is to replicate the installation on other systems, or modify it as needed.
Response file templates for Oracle Forms and Reports are provided in the Disk1/stage/Response
(on UNIX operating systems) or Disk1stageResponse
(on Windows operating systems) directory where you unpacked the archive file in Section 2.1.5, 'Obtaining the Oracle Fusion Middleware Software'.
For more information about the template response files that can be used for silent installation, see Section A.2.1, 'Using the Installation Response Files for Oracle Forms and Reports'.
For more information about the template response files that can be used for silent deinstallation, see Section A.2.2, 'Using the Deinstallation Response Files for Oracle Forms and Reports'.
