Resolution:
Please find below the required steps for silent installation of the Oracle Apps Adapter on Windows and Unix platforms:-

SILENT INSTALLATION on WINDOWS
==============================

1) In Windows, below is the command for creating the response file for the first time.
------
TIB_adorapps-suite_5.4.0_win_x86.exe -a -options-record &ltInstallablesPath>\adorappsresponse.nt
------
where the adorappsresponse.nt file will get created in the directory "&ltInstallablesPath>"

2)Below is the command for installing the adapter in silent mode using the response file created above:
---------
TIB_adorapps-suite_5.4.0_win_x86.exe -s -a -options &ltInstallablesPath>\adorappsresponse.nt -is:silent -silent
---------

Note: After creating the response file, and before doing the silent installation, please add the below parameters and modify them accordingly in the "Choose Install Type" section of the response file.

#######################################
# Choose Install Type
#
# Determines whether a typical or a custom installation is performed. Legal
# values are true (custom) or false (typical).

-W TIBCOInstallerTypePanel.installType=custom

# Select SDK and OracleApps. 0 for SDK and 1 for OracleApps
-W TIBCOProductsToInstallPanel.selectedIndexes=0,1

## Runtime
-SP adorapps.runtime.active=true
-SP adorapps.adapter.active=true
-SP adorapps.odbc.active=true

## Designtime
-SP adorapps.designtime.active=true
-SP adorapps.palette.active=true
-SP adorapps.dsgsamples.active=true

## Tools
-SP adorapps.tools.active=true
-SP adorapps.dbtool.active=true
-SP adorapps.pctool.active=true
-SP adorapps.Migrationtool.active=true

## Documentation
-SP adorapps.documentation.active=true
#######################################

In the above entry, if you do not want to install the documentation, you can set the documentation parameter to false (-SP adorapps.documentation.active=false)

SILENT INSTALLATION on UNIX
==========================

1)For creating the response file in Unix, the same command syntax as that of Windows can be followed:
------
./adorapps.5.4.0-suite_sol8_sparc_java.bin -options-record /projects/users/accengtm/adorappsresp_sol.txt
------
where the "adorappsresp_sol.txt" response file will get created in the directory "/projects/users/accengtm"

Note: For Unix, the response file which was created on Windows can also be used.

2)Below is the command for installing the adapter in silent mode using the response file created above:
---------
./adorapps.5.4.0-suite_sol8_sparc_java.bin -options /projects/users/accengtm/adorappsresp_sol.txt -is:silent -silent
---------

Please note that these steps are incorrectly mentioned in the Adapter documentation. In the future releases, the above steps will be included.

How can we install the TIBCO Adapter (TM) for Oracle Applications in the silent mode on Windows and Unix platforms?
