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?

orainst.loc file contains:
inventory_loc=<location of central inventory>

  -debug
        For getting the debug information from OUI.

  -detachHome
        For detaching homes from the OUI inventory without deleting
inventory directory inside Oracle home.

nodes specified.

  -printdiskusage

  -silent
        For silent mode operations, the inputs can be a response file or a
list of command line variable value pairs.

  -waitforcompletion

  -formCluster
        To install the Oracle clusterware in order to form the cluster.

        Unix specific option. Used only for cluster installs, specifies the
path to the remote copy program on the local cluster node.

  -remoteshell <Path>

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.
