Modular deployments offer flexibility in planning your installation and configuration activities. You can choose to perform any installation or configuration task independent of other related activities. For example, you can disable Oracle user and group creation across all nodes in a cluster while installing Oracle RAC.

The variables required for each of the above tasks are described in the chapter "Response file variable definitions".

All modular deployment activities require the following variable definitions:

$CFG{prod}
$CFG{systems}
