Oracle 12c Client

Avatar

Trying to install Oracle 12.2.0.1 cClient using an "Install" step from PDQ with the following command line and it fails

\servername\oracleclient\setup.exe -silent -ignoreSysPrereqs -ignorePrereq -responseFile \servername\oracleclient\response\client_install.rsp

It works if we launch the command locally on the workstation. We tried to copy the whole installation folder and put the command into a batch file. The batch runs fine locally on a workstation. But if you call the batch file from PDQ, it fails. We tried to run the command or call the batch from a Powershell step within PDQ. No luck.

Not matter which method we try. We are getting the following error on the output log.

Exit code of OUI process 259=

We are running out of idea. Anyone has a similar experience with Oracle Client and have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

    Oracle_Client12cR2.bat

    REM Copy folder Oracle Client 11gR2 and manually install via setup

    xcopy "\fileshare\Deploy\Oracle Client 12cR2\winx64_12102_client" /s /e c:\winx64_12102_client /y /i

    xcopy "\fileshare\Deploy\Oracle Client 12cR2\ClientResponse\client.rsp" /s /e "c:\ClientResponse" /y /i "c:\winx64_12102_client\client\setup.exe" -silent -responseFile "c:\ClientResponse\client.rsp"

    Created a PDQ package with command line step

    CALL "Oracle_Client12cR2.bat"

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    However, we still cannot get it to work. The batch file is created. We make sure the batch file copies all necessary files to C:. Double check to make sure they are copied into C:\winx64_12102_client\client and c:\clientresponse folder.

    When PDQ executes the following command, it throws an error.

    "c:\winx64_12102_client\client\setup.exe" -silent -responseFile "c:\ClientResponse\client.rsp"

    Hmmm....

    i was looking over my old deployments...especially the failures, and noticed I was also receiving the exit code 259.

    Appears I cheated and simply added 259 to the success codes.

    Sorry I don't use the Oracle software myself and I haven't installed it this year. Didn't receive any feedback at the time, so unsure if it was working or not.

    Thank you.

    When we get the error code, nothing got installed. So we really can not cheat the system.

    I have an "app" folder (1.4GB) residing on the computers once deployed.

    I got it working when adding the -waitforcompletion switch. This may help

    "C:\temp\winx64_12102_client\client\setup.exe" -silent -nowait -noconsole -waitforcompletion -responseFile "C:\temp\winx64_12102_client\client\client.rsp"
