Hi,

I don't know exactly what is wrong but see:

http://oratoolkit.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/oratoolkit/core/x.y/conf/installManager/response/

which contains valid response files for 10.2 to 11.2 installations (software only, without database creation).

Cheers,
David

Where I can find this 'MOS Doc 883714.1'? Can you provide url if possible?

I can't proceed with my installation because of this error.

Please help!!!

thanks!

You will need a valid CSI (Customer Support Identifier) in order ro register/login - a CSI is given when you buy Support from Oracle.

Pl do not request folks to post the contents of the document here - it violates our Support contract :-)

After playing with some of the parameters, turns out you need to set 'DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true' and that will get you pass this error.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Is there any more info on this issue. I'm trying this install and keep getting this error.

I've set the DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES to true.

I've added an email and password for the MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME and MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD.

Regardless of what I set I still get this error message.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks very much,

Beth

Finally figured this one out.
It happens when oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.type is set to TRANSACTION_PROCESSING.
Apparently "TRANSACTION_PROCESSING" and "GENERAL_PURPOSE/TRANSACTION_PROCESSING" are not valid types, even though the response template file and the response file generated via OUI list the following:

Response template file included in the database package:
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+# Specify the type of database to create.+
+# It can be one of the following:+
+# - GENERAL_PURPOSE/TRANSACTION_PROCESSING+
+# - DATA_WAREHOUSE+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Response file generated by OUI during an interactive install:
+#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+# One of the following+
+# - GENERAL_PURPOSE+
+# - TRANSACTION_PROCESSING+
+# - DATAWAREHOUSE+
+#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+


In order to install in silent mode I used the following settings:

oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.type=GENERAL_PURPOSE
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.dbcontrol.enableEmailNotification=false
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.dbcontrol.emailAddress=
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.dbcontrol.SMTPServer=
MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME=
MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD=
SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true

Thank you for the suggestion David.

Please excuse the multiple posts. Forums was acting up when I posted the above. Hopefully a moderator can and will delete the duplicate posts.

Why don't you just edit your duplicate posts? You can do this by your own. Just remove the content and write a small sentence or keep it empty! ;)

Got it...

NOT working:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile*=*/mnt/db_iso/response/db_only_software.rsp

Working well:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /mnt/db_iso/response/db_only_software.rsp

Obviously not response file is used in the first case. What I'd expect is a hint that no response file is used for installation. I haven't found any. Neither on the screen nor in any log files.
