I am installing Oracle 11g in silent mode using the response file that is in the database/response directory. It is three response files in that directory(i.e. dbca.rsp, db_install.rsp and netca.rsp). I am using db_install.rsp and customize its properties to use it in runInstaller command in database directory.
At first I want to know is it the right rsp file to install the Oracle server.
When I use this rsp file it seems it doesn't use the values I set in it fr example it asks me to give the My Oracle Support accounts while I set the DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES to TRUE. After I add that parameter in the command line as follow:
./runInstaller -silent responseFile=/home/oracle/db_install.rsp -showProgress DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=TRUE
it asks me to specify the "Global database name" as follow:
Starting Oracle Universal Installer…
Checking Temp space: must be greater than 120 MB. Actual 44950 MB
Passed Checking swap space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 8015
MB Passed Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from

…[oracle@somethin database]$ [FATAL] [INS-35071] Global database
name cannot be left blank. CAUSE: The Global database name was left
blank. ACTION: Specify a value for the Global database name.
I am sure I set that value in the rsp file. But it seems it doesn't recognize it. As I check the installation log in oraInventory/log directory it didn't recognize the SID value I already set.
Even before all the issues above it didn't recognize the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE that I have had set in the sb_install.rsp and I set it in environment variables in bash_profile.
I guess it is the wrong rsp file and the runInstaller cannot recognize the parameters in it. I need to know how to force runInstaller to read the install configuration from the rsp file.
