A.8.2 Running Postinstallation Configuration Using Response File

Complete this procedure to run configuration assistants configuration with the -executeConfigTools command.

Edit the response file and specify the required passwords for your configuration. You can use the response file created during installation, located at Oracle_home\install\response\product_timestamp.rsp. For example, for Oracle Grid Infrastructure:
```
oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=password
oracle.install.config.emAdminPassword=password
```
Change directory to the Oracle home containing the installation software. For example, for Oracle Grid Infrastructure:
```
cd Grid_home
```
Run the configuration script using the following syntax:
For Oracle Grid Infrastructure:
```
gridSetup.bat -executeConfigTools -responsfile Grid_home\install\response\product_timestamp.rsp
```
For Oracle Database:
```
setup.exe -executeConfigTools -responseFile Oracle_home\install\response\product_timestamp.rsp
```
For Oracle Database, you can also edit and use the response file located in the directory Oracle_home\inventory\response\:
```
setup.exe -executeConfigTools -responseFile Oracle_home\inventory\response\db_install.rsp
```
The postinstallation configuration tool runs the installer in the graphical user interface mode, displaying the progress of the postinstallation configuration.
Specify the [-silent] option to run the postinstallation configuration in the silent mode.

For example, for Oracle Grid Infrastructure:
```
gridSetup.bat -executeConfigTools -responseFile Grid_home\install\response\grid_2016-09-09_01-03-36PM.rsp [-silent]
```
For Oracle Database:
```
setup.exe -executeConfigTools -responseFile Oracle_home\inventory\response\db_2016-09-09_01-03-36PM.rsp [-silent]
```
