The OUI allows you to record the selections made in the GUI screens, writing them to a response file.
Use the example response file from the media as is, and amend the necessary parameters on the command line.
You can manually edit this file and use it for a silent installation.
The Oracle installation media contains an example response file called "db_install.rsp" in the "response" directory.
There are three ways of using a response file.
Using Response Files : 18c - Patching Installation Media (-applyRU and -applyOneOffs).
Using Response Files : 18c - Unzip to ORACLE_HOME.
Using Response Files : Command Line Overrides.
This article explains how to record a response file using the OUI. The process of running silent installations is similar to using Kickstart for Linux installations. Alternatively, a response file can be used to provide all the required information for the installation, so no additional user input is required. The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) is a GUI tool requiring user input to define the type of installation to be performed.
