Specifically, this section describes:. At any time while installing your product, click Help for information about the screens specific to your installation. Oracle Universal Installer provides two kinds of online help. These topics describe the screens and dialog boxes that every Oracle Universal Installer user sees, regardless of the product they are installing.
These topics are created by the product developer and describe the screens and dialog boxes specific to the product you are installing. For example, the help topic for the Installation Types page is often a custom help topic created by the installation developer that describes the specific installation types for the product you are installing.
After you view an online help topic, choose Navigator from the Tools menu to display the navigator pane. From the navigator pane, you can browse the table of contents, select other topics, or search for a particular word or phrase in the online help. The oraparam. This file includes information that defines the behavior of certain Oracle Universal Installer features.
Each product installation possesses a unique oraparam. In general, you should not have to edit the contents of this file, but in certain situations, understanding the contents of this file can help you troubleshoot problems and understand certain aspects of the Oracle Universal Installer product.
For example, for most installations, Oracle Universal Installer provides a default value on the File Locations page that points to the location of the product's installation kit or stage.
This default value is stored in the oraparam. Once installed, the oraparam. The following table describes the parameters in the oraparam. Table Parameters in oraparam. Set to TRUE if the oraparam. Location of your staging area the products. This location is relative to the directory where oraparam. Location of a text file for License information. The legal terms file should be a plain text file. Oracle Universal Installer will let the user proceed only after license is accepted.
This parameter is ignored if the file is not found. The value of this variable displays as the title of the license agreement. Oracle Universal Installer only reads this value if the license dialog is displayed. Note: For a single installation to point to two different JRE versions, move the oraparam.
Use this parameter if you want to override the default value:. Points to the location used for silent mode. Set the version of Oracle Universal Installer that you are using. The default name for the Oracle home. This parameter is used only if the installation takes place on a host with no previous Oracle installations.
Lists directories that you do not want to browse, typically large directories that take a long time to view.
Oracle Universal Installer displays in English even if you run on a non-English system. This parameter instructs Oracle Universal Installer to attempt a bootstrap. For example, when you install Oracle Universal Installer, it sets the value of this parameter to the temporary space required by both Oracle Universal Installer and the JRE. However, these values could vary from one major release to the other, based on the space required by newer versions of JRE.
If the ship home contains advertisement images, installation developers should add the space taken by the images to this value. Oracle Universal Installer will check the temp space requirements before starting up and give an error if there is not enough space for Oracle Universal Installer to run in bootstrap mode.
Use this parameter to control whether or not Oracle Universal Installer considers the build number of the component when determining whether or not to overwrite a previous version or copy of a component.
Note that this parameter is intended to be used in pre-production ship homes only. This is an optional parameter for use with Apps installs only. Both are required. This section lists the images associated with an installation. To show advertisements during an installation, specify each image as a separate variable.
You can use Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle products in any of the three following modes:. Interactive: Use Oracle Universal Installer's interactive mode to use the graphical user interface to walk through the installation, providing information in the installation dialogs when prompted.
This method is most useful when installing a small number of products in different setups on a small number of hosts. Suppressed: Use Oracle Universal Installer's suppressed mode to supply the necessary information by using a combination of a response file or command line entries with certain interactive dialogs.
You can choose which dialogs to suppress by supplying the information at the command line when you invoke Oracle Universal Installer. This method is most useful when an installation has a common set of parameters that can be captured in a response file, in addition to custom information that must be input by hand.
Silent: Use 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 more information refer to Chapter 4, "Customizing and Creating Response Files", for detailed information on using response files and installing in silent mode.
When you install both bit and bit Oracle Universal Installer on a bit machine, two different inventories will be created and maintained. However, you cannot install bit software in a bit home, and vice versa.
If you are creating a multiple-CD installation on UNIX, you may need to launch runInstaller in the background using the following command:.
By launching runInstaller in the background, you can change your current directory after you launch Oracle Universal Installer, allowing you to eject the CD.
It may also help to launch runInstaller as a foreground process from a different directory. You may want to create a shell script that launches Oracle Universal Installer in the background and then exits. If you choose to create a shell script, remember to also pass all parameters that you passed to the shell script to runInstaller in the event that you wish to install silently using a response file.
Note that temporary files are created for single-CD installations as well. If you still have problems, refer to the documentation links at the end of this topic. In most cases, the following procedure will help with any problems you experience while switching to a second CD-ROM while installing Oracle software.

With Oracle Universal Installer, you can install products from the Web. System administrators of large customers who may want to deploy Oracle software to more than one target can use a combination of the Web installation and response file features:. Copy the staging area to a shared file system and make it accessible on the Intranet or a Web server. Include predetermined response files on the same location.
It suppresses screens for which you have provided all of the required information. Before you create a database that uses Automatic Storage Management, you must run the root. For this reason, you cannot create a database using Automatic Storage Management as the storage option for database files during a silent-mode installation. Instead, you can complete a software-only installation using silent-mode, and then run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant NetCA and Database Configuration Assistant configuration assistants in silent mode after you have completed the software-only installation and you have run the root.
The following are the general steps to install and configure Oracle products using Oracle Universal Installer in silent or suppressed mode:. If you completed a software-only installation, then run NetCA and Database Configuration Assistant in silent or noninteractive mode if required. If you plan to install Oracle products using Oracle Universal Installer in silent or suppressed mode, you must manually create the oraInst. This file specifies the location of the Oracle Inventory directory where Oracle Universal Installer creates the inventory of Oracle products installed on the system.
Enter the following commands to set the appropriate owner, group, and permissions on the oraInst. This section describes the following methods to prepare a response file for use during silent-mode or suppressed-mode installations:. Oracle provides response file templates for each product and installation type, and for each configuration tool. If you have copied the software to a hard drive, then you can edit the file in the response directory if you prefer. You may want to set this variable to point to an absolute path, for example:.
Remember that you can specify sensitive information, such as passwords, at the command line rather than within the response file. You can use Oracle Universal Installer in interactive mode to record a response file, which you can edit and then use to complete silent-mode or suppressed-mode installations.
This method is useful for custom or software-only installations. When you record the response file, you can either complete the installation, or you can exit from Oracle Universal Installer on the Summary page, before it starts to copy the software to the system.
If you use record mode during a noninteractive mode installation, then Oracle Universal Installer records the variable values that were specified in the original source response file into the new response file. When you run Oracle Universal Installer to record a response file, it checks the system to verify that it meets the requirements to install the software.
For this reason, Oracle recommends that you complete all of the required preinstallation tasks and record the response file while completing an installation. If you have not installed Oracle software on this system previously, create the oraInst. Ensure that the Oracle software owner user typically oracle has permissions to create or write to the Oracle home path that you will specify when you run Oracle Universal Installer.
