Silent Install Weblogic in a Vagrant VM

Question

When executing the command java -jar /opt/TAR/fmw_12.2.1.0_wls.jar -silent -responseFile /opt/TAR/wls.rsp -invPtrLoc /opt/TAR/oraInst.locto download Weblogic, I get the following errors:

[ERROR] Data Insufficient to start Install.
[ERROR] Select one and only one Install Type. Any one of the variables SOFTWARE ONLY TYPE,BASIC TYPE or ADVANCED                                 
[ERROR] Rule_VDiskSpace_Error. Aborting Install

I have passed all the checks including enough swap space and temp space. I have also tried to increase more swap space by doing the following

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/myswap count=3000 bs=MiB
$ chmod 600 /myswap
$ mkswap /myswap
$ swapon /myswap

My wls.rsp file looks like this

[ENGINE]
Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0
[GENERIC]
ORACLE_HOME/opt/weblogic/wls12.2.1.2.0
INSTALL_TYPE=WebLogic Server
MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME=
MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD=<SECURE VALUE>
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false
PROXY_HOST=
PROXY_PORT=
PROXY_USER=
PROXY_PWD=<SECURE VALUE>
COLLECTOR_SUPPORTHUB_URL=

and oraInst.loc looks like this

inventory_loc=/opt/weblogic/oraInventory
inst_group=weblogic

What can fix those three errors?

the documentation states: java -jar distribution_name.jar -silent -responseFile file [-options] [()*] maybe you need to omit the oraInst.loc file? https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/OUIRF/silent.htm#OUIRF334 — Emre Türkiş, Jun 09 '17 at 13:38
@EmreTürkiş This is what I need as paramaters: `java -jar -silent -respFile -invPtrLoc ` with `inventory_loc` and `inst_group` paramters within `oraInst.loc` — TGKL, Jun 09 '17 at 13:58
have you tried chmod'ing 775 to those files? there may be an access-right issue maybe. and could you please paste the whole output of it — Emre Türkiş, Jun 09 '17 at 14:13
please make sure your system complies with the specs here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23104_01/sysreqs1221/sysrs.htm#CHDCDIAI — Emre Türkiş, Jun 09 '17 at 14:21

Your response file has some issues - see fixed

[ENGINE]
Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0
[GENERIC]
DECLINE_AUTO_UPDATES=true
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/weblogic/wls12.2.1.2.0
INSTALL_TYPE=WebLogic Server
MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME=
MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD=
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false
PROXY_HOST=
PROXY_PORT=
PROXY_USER=
PROXY_PWD=
COLLECTOR_SUPPORTHUB_URL=

You need to add a value for DECLINE_AUTO_UPDATES if you set to false, you need to add other parameters

the <SECURE VALUE> is just a template - if you dont set username you dont need password, just leave blank

There was some problem in my script that kept overwritting `wls.rsp` leaving it empty. I updated my question. – TGKL Jun 09 '17 at 16:32
are you sure you have `set('ListenPort', 8110)` and not with `setListenPort` somehow as the error suggests ? note its better to have `exit()` method at the end of python script – Frederic Henri Jun 09 '17 at 17:21
It's written properly. I don't understand how it produces that error. – TGKL Jun 09 '17 at 17:46
Nvm I found my problem, I was missing a few lines – TGKL Jun 09 '17 at 18:38
Need to add a missing '=': ORACLE_HOME=/opt/weblogic/wls12.2.1.2.0 (too small a change to edit) – Caleb Jul 12 '18 at 01:40
@Caleb Good catch, Thank you! I've made the update and added the '=' sign – Frederic Henri Jul 12 '18 at 07:21

try to use

-ignoreSysPrereqs

so your command will be

java -jar /opt/TAR/fmw_12.2.1.0_wls.jar -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -responseFile /opt/TAR/wls.rsp -invPtrLoc /opt/TAR/oraInst.loc
