Hello!

I am writing a script to automate the installation of Oracle Forms and Reports 6i in XP through cmd.exe. The script works great, but the command is incomplete.
Currently the command in the script is "setup -responseFile directory\response.rsp".

This is supposed to generate a .rsp file containing all the options I selected in the custom installation (so I can simply call that file in future implementations of this script to automatically get all those settings), but it does not.

Does any one know what might be wrong: why isn't this generating the response file?
Or, do you know the arguments for the command so that I don't even need a response file?

I've googled this about a dozen times and found nothing very helpful.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi mcgill, welcoem to the PCHF.

Unfortunately...I think you've gone above our heads on this one
I have no idea...when automating installs i use Group Policy and MSI...I don't tend to use scripts.

I'll see if any of the other techs know anything for you.

got nothing here.....oracle isn't my thing.....gotta be SOMEBODY'S thing on here, though....don't often see a problem roll through that isn't solved somehow.....

Not withstanding this forums excellent capabilities, would this place be any good mmcgill?

Compiling is a bit beyond me presently-- some day...

The only thing I can think of doing is changing

setup -responseFile directory\response.rsp

to

setup > responseFile directory\response.rsp

I'm not sure if that's going to help, though I'm pretty certain that that would pipe the output to said file. It's worth a shot, I guess, though keep in mind that I'm currently having difficulty writing a simple DSADD script for a measly 200 users.

Quick edit: You may also consider using an absolute pathname and using quotes only around the pathname (since it contains spaces...I'm not sure if you have the quotes around the command or are simply quoting the segment...)
