Using a single script in the Stack Manager tool, install the database first, and then the application server. | Install using one of these modes: Installing-in-the-interactive-mode – Directly provide inputs on the command line. Installing-silently – Create an inputs file with the required inputs and then use the file for installing the product on any number of servers. |
