Goal

This Article helps in creating the OCM response file to run opatch in silent mode

Scenario:
While installing patch in silent mode, opatch tool prompts User for OCM configuration, this makes Opatch to break the silent install process and  patch apply for User response. (And this violates silent install feature).

However, this can be solved via creating an OCM response file and pass all the parameters via this file while silent install. Opatch reads this file while installing in silent does not prompt for OCM credentials.
