3.2.2 Silent Installation

Silent installation from the command line interface can be performed if your system does not have an X-Windows or graphical interface or you want to perform the installation in an automated way. Silent installations ensure that multiple users in your organization use the same installation options when installing Oracle products.

Silent installations are driven by using a response file. Response files can be saved by selecting the Save Response File option during an interactive Oracle Universal Installer session or by editing the oggcore.rsp template located in the response directory after unzipping the binaries.

The Oracle GoldenGate response file contains a standard set of Oracle configuration parameters in addition to parameters that are specific to Oracle GoldenGate. These parameters correspond to the fields in the interactive session. The response file location is 
unzipped_directory/ggs_Linux_x64_BigData_64bit_services/Disk1/response

To perform the installation using a response file, issue the following command: 

unzipped_directory/ggs_Linux_x64_BigData_64bit_services.zip/Disk1/runInstaller -silent -nowait -responseFile absolute_path_to_response_file
