Basic Weblogic Installation 12.1.3 silent mode

In this article we are going to install (not configure) a basic installation of the Oracle Weblogic 12.1.3 server.

The software can be downloaded from oracle.com and is the generic installer file called fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar

We are using an Oracle Linux 6 server with a java 7 jdk running in /w001/app/jdk

Create a oraInst.loc file

vi /w001/app/oraInst.loc

with the following content:

inventory_loc=/w001/app/oraInventory
inst_group=oraoas

Run the following command to start the silent installer:

java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar -invPtrLoc /w001/app/oraInst.loc -silent -responseFile /w001/software/oracle_fusion/weblogic/generic/wl1213_responsefile

In this command, the invPrtLoc points to the created oraInst.loc file.

Make sure you use the full path to the response file in the responseFile option, otherwise it will not find the responsefile.

The output will show something like this
