Below you will find commonly asked questions about various component Version in Oracle Applications & way to find them which might be helpful in Apps DBA Job. Most of these are for Unix / Linux.
Q: How to find Oracle Applications Web Server Version ?
Q: How to find Version of Apache used with oracle apps 11i ?
Log to Application tier as Operating System Usually called as APPLMGR ; go to location $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin and run command
./httpd -version
You will see output like
Server version: Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.19 (Unix)
Server built: Dec 6 2005 14:59:13 (iAS 1.0.2.2.2 rollup 5)
Which means you are on iAS Version 1.0.2.2.2 with patchset rollup 5 with Apache Version 1.3.19
Server version: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.2 Oracle-HTTP-Server
Above is output If you have installed 10g Application Server with 11i
Q: How to find Jinitiator Version ?
Check for file like appsweb_SID_HOSTNAME.cfg under $OA_HTML/bin defined by environment variable FORMS60_WEB_CONFIG_FILE & search for entry like jinit_ver_name , you will see entry like
jinit_ver_name=Version=1,3,1,23
which means Jinitiator version is 1.3.1.23 ; if your version is 1.3.1.18 you will see entry like 1,3,1,18
Q: How to find Forms Version in 11i ?
Login to forms from frontend , on top menu bar of forms click on "Help" & Select "About Oracle Applications" go to "Forms Server " section. You should see entry like below depending on your forms version
Oracle Forms Version : 6.0.8.26.0
Which mean you are on forms version 6.0.8.26 . If you want to know whats your forms patchset level then subtract 9 from fourth digit which means for above case form patchset 17 is applied.
Q: How to find Forms Version in Apps from command Line ?
Enter "f60gen" on Forms Server and check for first line in output like
Forms 6.0 (Form Compiler) Version 6.0.8.26.0 (Production)
This confirms that you are on forms server version 6.0.8.26.0 and patch set 17. ( Patch Set = Fourth Digit - 9)
Q: How to find Version of any file in Oracle Apps 11i ? or
Q: How to find any Reports Version 11i ? or
In Oracle Applications under ad utilities there is utility called as adident Used for Identification purpose or to find out file version use
adident Header
for ex. inorder to to find file version of one AR form i.e. ARXGLCOR.fmx
adident Header ARXGLCOR.fmx
You should see output like
$Header APPSTAND.fmb 115.33 2002/04/04 11:13:40 pkm ship
$ $Header ARXGLCOR.fmb 115.15 2005/01/31 13:48 mraymond ship
Which means above form executable consist of two forms whose version is 115.33 & 115.15 resp. Similarly you can use adident to find version of any report in 11i.
Q: How to find Operation System Version (Unix/Linux) ?
For solaris use command
uname -a
You will see output like
For Solaris SunOS servername 5.8 Generic_117350-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
For RedHat Linux use command
cat /etc/*release*
You will see output like
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
Which means you are on Solaris 5.8 or Linux AS 3 resp.
Q: How to find if your Operating System is 32 bit or 64 Bit ?
For solaris use command
isainfo -v
If you see out put like
32-bit sparc applications
That means your O.S. is only 32 bit but if you see output like
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
above means your o.s. is 64 bit & can support both 32 & 64 bit applications
Q: How to find Operating System version ?
For solaris use command
uname -a
You will see output like
For Solaris SunOS servername 5.8 Generic_117350-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
For RedHat Linux use command
cat /etc/*release*
You will see output like
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
Which means you are on Solaris 5.8 or Linux AS 3 resp.
Q: How to find if your Operating System is 32 bit or 64 Bit ?
For solaris use command
isainfo -v
If you see out put like
32-bit sparc applications
That means your O.S. is only 32 bit but if you see output like
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
above means your o.s. is 64 bit & can support both 32 & 64 bit applications
Q: Can I run 64 bit application on 32 bit Operating system ?
You can run 32 bit application (like oracle application server, web server, all oracle application server are 32 bit ) on both 32 /64 bit operating system but a 64 bit application like 64 bit database can run only on 64 bit operating system.
Q How to find if your database is 32 bit or 64 bit(Useful in applying Patches) ?
execute "file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle" , you should see output like
/u01/db/bin/oracle: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1
which means you are on 64 bit oracle
If your oracle is 32 bit you should see output like
oracle: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1
Q. How to find Version of Apps 11i ?
Run following SQL from apps user
SQL> select RELEASE_NAME from fnd_product_groups;
You should see output like
RELEASE_NAME
-----------------------
11.5.10.2
Which means you are on Apps Version 11.5.10.2
Q How to find if your database is 32 bit or 64 bit(Useful in applying Patches) ?
execute "file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle" , you should see output like
/u01/db/bin/oracle: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1
which means you are on 64 bit oracle
If your oracle is 32 bit you should see output like
oracle: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1
Now you know what should be bit of patch to download
Q How to Discoverer Version installed with Apps ?
Discoverer with Apps installed in ORACLE_HOME same as 806 is usually 3i or 4i. To find Version login to Application Tier & go to $ORACLE_HOME/discwb4/bin and execute
strings dis4ws | grep -i 'discoverer version'
You should see output like
Discoverer Version:Session 4.1.47.09.00
Q. How to find Workflow Version embedded in Apps 11i ?
Run following SQL from apps user ;
SQL>select TEXT from WF_RESOURCES where NAME='WF_VERSION';
You should see output like
TEXT
-----------------------
2.6.0
Which means you are on Workflow Version 2.6.0
You can also use script wfver.sql in FND_TOP/sql to find version of workflow in Apps.
Q: How to find version of JDK Installed on Apps ?
There might be multiple JDK installed on Operating System . Like JDK 1.3.1, 1.4.2 or 1.5 but in order to find which Version of JDK your Apps is using
Open your Context File $SID_$HOSTNAME.xml under $APPL_TOP/admin and look for variable
JDK_TOP oa_var="s_jdktop" what so ever value assigned against that parameter go to that directory & cd bin & execute command
./java -version so lets assume entry above is /usr/jdk then cd /usr/jdk/bin & ./java -version , you will see output like
java version "1.4.2_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_10-b03, mixed mode)
