I am trying to automate 8iR3 EE server installation through response files. I want to automate the software installation AND configuration by providing response files for the Universal Installer AND the Configuration Assistants. I believe I have the software installation part working, but I cannot get the Configuration Assistants (any of them) to run unattended by specifying their own response files. Please offer me any advice you may have.

I have searched Oracle Metalink and comp.databases.oracle without any luck and have cross-posted this to Oracle Metalink.

My main response file follows:
