Silent Installation of Designer 6i and Designer Import & Export Tools ===================================================================== Response file templates have been placed on the Designer 6i CD to facilitate the silent installation of Designer 6i and Designer Import & Export Tools. response.rsp standard ORCA response file for Designer toolspk.rsp ORCA response file for Designer used by IDS IMP_EXP_DUMMY_TL_COMP.Complete.rsp OUI standard response file for Imp/Exp tools impexp.rsp OUI response file for Imp/Exp tools used by interactive IDS install impexpq.rsp OUI response file for Imp/Exp tools used by quick IDS install Designer Response Files ======================= Designer 6i is installed using the Oracle ORCA based installer orainst.exe. The response files for Designer 6i are called 'response.rsp' and 'toolspk.rsp' and can be found in the \installr\install directory. These will need to be edited for the correct oracle home that you wish to use. Alternatively, run the installer as normal as select the oracle home that you wish to use. Exit from the installer at the next dialog box. The response files will now have been copied to your oracle home directory with the correct information to install the product to that selected Oracle Home. The format for the command to install Designer using a response file (generated by the technique above into an oracle home of c:\orant; and running from the installr\install directory on the CD) is: orainst /silent /rspsrc c:\orant\response.rsp You can create your own customised response file either by editing one of these response files or running the installer and recording the results: orainst /rspdest c:\tmp\my_rsp.rsp Note that if you install Designer and choose to run the Designer 6i Import & Export Tools installation, then the OUI install of the Import/Export tools will use the OUI response file 'impexp.rsp' from your Designer Oracle Home. The toolspk.rsp response file differs from the respone.rsp response file in that it does not call the import/export install (see next section). This is because the toolspack (iDS) has a master install file that calls both the Designer install and the import/export install and is thus able to determine when each installation has finished. IMPORT/EXPORT Response Files ============================ The Designer 6i Import/Export Tools are installed using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). The response files for Designer 6i and Designer Import & Export Tools are called 'DESIGNER_IMPEXP_817_UTILS.Complete.rsp' (found in the stage\response directory) and 'impexp.rsp'/'impexpq.rsp' (found in the installr\install directory). The first of these files has been created with an oracle home of c:\des_81 and you will need to edit this file if you wish to install into another oracle home. The second & third of these files will be copied to your Designer 6i Oracle Home with updated information about the Designer 6i installation. These response files will be used if the Import/Export Tools installation is run from the Designer 6i installation or from the toolspack when performing a quick install of all the toolspack products. They are setup for a non-silent default install of the import/export components, thus allowing you to monitor the progress of the installation. Impexp.rsp presents an exit dialog at termination. Impexpq.rsp does not (allowing a truly quiet install) and is called if the Designer installation is in quiet mode or when used as part of the quick install from the toolspack. The format for running the OUI installer with a response file (running from the install\win32 directory on the CD) is: setup setup.exe -responsefile C:\orant\impexp.rsp and for running silently with a response file is: setup setup.exe -silent -responsefile C:\orant\impexp.rsp
