oraparam.ini
file (or another *.ini
file that you define). All the results are logged in the install Actions<timestamp>.log
file.installActions<timestamp>.log
file before exiting.Command | Description |
---|---|
-paramFile <file name> | Use this flag to specify the location of the oraparam.ini file to be used. For example, you may create your own parameters file and use that to operate Oracle Universal Installer. Note that Oracle Universal Installer will use the file you specify for all operations, including the pre-requisite checks. |
-executeSysPrereqs | Use this flag on the command line to perform only the pre-requisite check, without continuing the installation. This can be used to verify that the basic pre-requisites have been met before deciding to perform an installation. |
-ignoreSysPrereqs | Use this flag on the command line to ignore all pre-requisite checks. This may be useful when you know that the checks themselves are faulty or the environment has already been verified.This is an optional flag though not recommended by Oracle. |
prerequisite.xml
file. Once the checker is run, results, along with the pre-defined inputs, can be found in the prerequisite_results.xml
file. These files are located in the oraInventory/logs
directory. The prerequisite_results.xml
file can be reused as an input file for subsequent executions of the checker.oraparam.ini
file is the initialization file for Oracle Universal Installer. This file includes information that defines the behavior of certain Oracle Universal Installer features. Each product installation possesses a unique oraparam.ini
file.oraparam.ini
file. The oraparam.ini
file also identifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) required for the installation.OUI_LOCATION
is relative to the location of the oraparam.ini
file, as follows:oraparam.ini
file is located in the /oui
directory.oraparam.ini
file and how to use them.Section/Parameter | Description |
---|---|
[Oracle] | This section contains various parameters related to your installation. |
DISTRIBUTION | Set to TRUE if the oraparam.ini file is on a distribution medium. A distribution medium can be a CD-ROM or a Web server. Once installed, this parameter is set to FALSE. |
SOURCE | Location of your staging area (the products.xml file). This location is relative to the directory where oraparam.ini exists. |
LICENSE_LOCATION | Location of a text file for License information. This location is relative to the directory where oraparam.ini exists. The legal terms file should be a plain text file.If you specify the LICENSE_LOCATION variable, Oracle Universal Installer will ask for license acceptance after you click the Next button on the 'Welcome' screen. Oracle Universal Installer will let the user proceed only after license is accepted. This parameter is ignored if the file is not found. |
LICENSE_TITLE | The value of this variable displays as the title of the license agreement. Oracle Universal Installer only reads this value if the license dialog is displayed. That is, if the LICENSE_LOCATION variable has a valid value. |
JRE_LOCATION | Location of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that will be used by Oracle Universal Installer.Note: For a single installation to point to two different JRE versions, move the oraparam.ini file one level below its original location and then specify the individual platform's JRE location. For example, if the original location is in the Disk1/install directory, move it to the Disk1/install/win32 or the Disk1/install/solaris directory and then specify the individual platform's JRE location. |
OUI_LOCATION | Points to the location of Oracle Universal Installer files used for interactive mode (GUI-based). This parameter is optional; if DISTRIBUTION=TRUE, then Oracle Universal Installer computes this value using the OUI_VERSION parameter.Use this parameter if you want to override the default value: ././stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/<version>/1/DataFiles/Expanded |
OUI_CORE_LOCATION | Points to the location used for silent mode. This parameter is optional; If DISTRIBUTION=TRUE, then Oracle Universal Installer computes this value using the OUI_VERSION parameter.Use this parameter if you want to override the default value: . ././stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui.core/<version>/1/DataFiles/Expanded |
OUI_VERSION | Set the version of Oracle Universal Installer that you are using. You must properly set the version for the BOOTSTRAP to work. |
DISPLAY_VERSION Utorrent 64 bit download mac. | Set to FALSE to suppress the display of the version of top level components in the Installation Type dialog during installation. |
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS | Set these to increase the initial heap threshold for JRE. For example, -mx48m. |
DEFAULT_HOME_LOCATION | Location of the default Oracle home. Download coreldraw for mac dmg. |
DEFAULT_HOME_NAME | The default name for the Oracle home. This parameter is used only if the installation takes place on a host with no previous Oracle installations. |
NO_BROWSE | Lists directories that you do not want to browse, typically large directories that take a long time to view. For example, /net , /nfs. |
NLS_ENABLED | Set to TRUE for Oracle Universal Installer to enable NLS support. Set to FALSE to disable the installation session translations. Oracle Universal Installer displays in English even if you run on a non-English system. |
BOOTSTRAP | Set to TRUE or FALSE. This parameter instructs Oracle Universal Installer to attempt a bootstrap. Set to TRUE before cutting CDs, but set to FALSE once you have copied the staging area to the hard disk. |
BOOTSTRAP_SIZE | Use this parameter to set the size the temporary space requires when BOOTSTRAP is set to TRUE. For example, when you install Oracle Universal Installer, it sets the value of this parameter to the temporary space required by both Oracle Universal Installer and the JRE.By default, if this entry is not set, Oracle Universal Installer will assume 45MB for Win32, 52MB for Win64, and 69MB for Solaris. However, these values could vary from one major release to the other, based on the space required by newer versions of JRE.If the ship home contains advertisement images, installation developers should add the space taken by the images to this value. Oracle Universal Installer will check the temp space requirements before starting up and give an error if there is not enough space for Oracle Universal Installer to run in bootstrap mode. |
USE_BUILD_NUMBER | Use this parameter to control whether or not Oracle Universal Installer considers the build number of the component when determining whether or not to overwrite a previous version or copy of a component. Note that this parameter is intended to be used in pre-production ship homes only. |
APPLTOP_STAGE | Use this parameter when you want your users to specify the location of an Oracle Applications top (APPL_TOP) directory. When this parameter is set to TRUE, the File Locations page will include fields for selecting an APPL_TOP directory. This is an optional parameter for use with Apps installs only. If not specified, the default is assumed to FALSE. |
REGISTRATION_URL | The URL where the user is directed from the Product Registration page in Oracle Universal Installer. The REGISTRATION_KEY parameter is validated at this site. Set this parameter along with the REGISTRATION_KEY parameter to invoke the Product Registration page. Both are required. |
REGISTRATION_KEY | This key is validated against an encrypted key at the REGISTRATION_URL location. Set this parameter along with the REGISTRATION_URL parameter to invoke the Product Registration page. Both are required. |
[IMAGES] | This section lists the images associated with an installation. To show advertisements during an installation, specify each image as a separate variable. |
