Using netca with a response file

Hi,

I'm trying to persuade Oracle's net config assistant netca to read a response file. I'm using Oracle 9.0.1.

I've tried to do this using the following command line

netca -responseFile /u01/inst/netca_apama.rsp

and a few similar ones, but netca either says

Missing '/' before argument name: -responseFile

or

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

I've also tried altering an OUI response file to make OUI run netca - the relevant lines are below.

OPTIONAL_CONFIG_TOOLS={"netca"}
s_responseFileName="/u01/inst/netca_apama.rsp"
b_launchNETCA=true

This doesn't work either - OUI seems to ignore the change I made to the response file.

Any idea whats going wrong?

Many thanks for your help,

Rob

Don't you have to enclose the path in the single/double quotes depending on the OS?

The trick is to not use a dash before the option but a slash /.
I also believe that if you want netca to actually use the responsefile,
you need to specify a silent installation. In this case this means the
following command line:

netca /silent /responseFile /u01/inst/netca_apama.rsp

Try it, it might work!
