Hi All, I am trying to create response file for 11g r2 base installation and found that –record option is missing in it. It is always possible that I ccan get a response file from the response dir of install mediar and edit it, but I would like to record it in the normal method. Anyone came across this issue and any work around for this? [oracle@blr-tsvr database]$ ./runInstaller -record -destinationFile /home/oracle/11g_Enterprise_Profile.rsp Starting Oracle Universal Installer... Checking Temp space: must be greater than 80 MB.

Actual 4294967296 Passed Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2010-06-19_07-39-47PM. Please wait ...[oracle@blr-tsvrdatabase]$ The command line arguments '-record', '-destinationFile', '/home/oracle/11g_Enterprise_Profile.rsp' are not valid options. Type 'oui -help' at the command line for instructions on appropriate command line usage. Usage: runInstaller [-options] [(<CommandLineVariable=Value>)*] Where options include: -clusterware oracle.crs,<crs version> Version of Cluster ready services installed. -crsLocation <Path> Used only for cluster installs, specifies the path to the crs home location. Specifying this overrides CRS information obtained from central inventory. -invPtrLoc <full path of oraInst.loc> Unix only. To point to a different inventory location. The orainst.loc file contains: inventory_loc=<location of central inventory> inst_group=<> -jreLoc <location> Path where Java Runtime Environment is installed. OUI cannot be run without it. -logLevel <level> To filter log messages that have a lesser priority level than <level>. Valid options are: severe, warning, info, config, fine, finer, finest, basic, general, detailed, trace. The use of basic, general, detailed, trace is deprecated. -paramFile <location of file> Specify location of oraparam.ini file to be used by OUI. -responseFile <Path> Specifies the response file and path to use. -attachHome For attaching homes to the OUI inventory. -cfs Indicates that the Oracle home specified is on cluster file system (shared). This is mandatory when '-local' is specified so that Oracle Universal Installer can register the home appropriately into the inventory. -clone For making an Oracle Home copy match its current environment. -debug For getting the debug information from OUI. -detachHome For detaching homes from the OUI inventory without deleting inventory directory inside Oracle home. -enableRollingUpgrade Used in cluster environment, to enable upgrade of a product on a subset of nodes (on which the product was installed). -executeSysPrereqs Execute system pre-requisite checks and exit. -force Allowing silent mode installation into a non-empty directory. -help Displays above usage. -ignoreSysPrereqs For ignoring the results of the system pre-requisite checks. -local Performs the operation on the local node irrespective of the cluster nodes specified. -printdiskusage Log debug information for disk usage. -printmemory Log debug information for memory usage. -printtime Log debug information for time usage. -relink For performing relink actions on the oracle home Usage: -relink -maketargetsxml <location of maketargetsxml> [-makedepsxml <location of makedepsxml>] [name=value] -silent For silent mode operations, the inputs can be a response file or a list of command line variable value pairs. -waitforcompletion For windows. setup.exe will wait for completion instead of spawning the java engine and exiting. -suppressPreCopyScript Suppress the execution of precopy script. -acceptUntrustedCertificates Accept untrusted certificates from a secure site. -noconfig Do not execute config tools. -noconsole For suppressing display of messages to console. Console is not allocated. -formCluster To install the Oracle clusterware in order to form the cluster. -remotecp <Path> Unix specific option. Used only for cluster installs, specifies the path to the remote copy program on the local cluster node. -remoteshell <Path> Unix specific option. Used only for cluster installs, specifies the path to the remote shell program on the local cluster node. -executePrereqs To execute only the prerequisite checks. -ignorePrereq To ignore running the prerequisite checks. -ignoreInternalDriverError To ignore any internal driver errors. Command Line Variables Usage Command line variables are specified using <name=value>; for example: [ session: | compName: | compName:version: ]variableName=" valueOfVariable"] Session/Installer variables are specified using: [session:]varName=value Ex 1: session:ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraHome" Ex 2: ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraHome" The lookup order is session:varName then just varName. The session prefix is used to avoid ambiguity. Component variables are specified using: [compInternalName:[Version:]]varName Ex 1: oracle.comp1:1.0.1:varName="VarValue" Ex 2: oracle.comp1:varName="VarValue" The lookup order is compInternalName:Version:varName, then compInternalName:varName, then just varName. Thanks.
