Prerequisites The following software must be installed on the machine Certified JDK must be installed SOA 12c [in my experiment used 12.1.3.0.0] Download the Oracle MFT software from OTN or e-delivery.oracle.com fmw_12.1.3.0.0_mft.jar Installing MFT in silent mode Sample silent mode response file: mft_install.rsp [ENGINE] #DO NOT CHANGE THIS. Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0 [GENERIC] #The oracle home location. This can be an existing Oracle Home or a new Oracle Home ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/SOA12c Generally I do follow that define the environment variables such as JAVA_HOME, MW_HOME, ORACLE_HOME in the .bashrc or .bash_profile scripts, which makes life easy!
