Silent Mode Installation
Oracle9i Installation Planning 1-19
FROM_LOCATION is the complete path of the source of the products to be
installed (in other words, to the [.Disk1.stage]products.jar file) from CD
number 1. If contents of CDs were copied to a local file system, then specify that
path. ORACLE_HOME is the directory into which the Oracle software will be
installed. The account from which the Oracle Universal Installer is run must have
appropriate privileges to create a root-level directory if the directory that was
specified for ORACLE_HOME does not already exist.
To modify the response file:
1. Make a copy of the response file for your product, and open it in a text editor.
2. Search for the three items that are listed above (or for the string
OPENVMS_VALUE_REQUIRED), and provide values for those items.
3. Modify other fields as applicable (refer to comments within the response file
that you are modifying).
