How do I determine the version and patch level?

There are several ways to determine the version and patch level you have.

If you downloaded the software from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud or Support site, the name of the file you downloaded will indicate the version and patch level. For instance, within the ZIP file you downloaded, you will find an executable file named as shown here:

CD1-7spDocumakerStudioFullSystemW32Rel120p01b15380.exe

This tells you the software that will be installed is version 12.0, patch 01, build 15380.

If you received your software on CDs, the version and patch level appears on the CD labels. Also check the README.TXT file on each CD.

For some applications, like Documaker Studio, you can use the About option on the Help menu to find version and patch information. Click the Patch Information button to get detailed information about patches.

Run the FSIVER utility.

For command line programs and to see more detail, use the FSIVER utility. This utility gathers library version information and produces these reports:

Version report - reports the version information

Patch report - reports the patches applied to each of the files you queried.

Summary report - reports all patches applied to the set of files you queried. Missing patches are noted.

The FSIVER utility also includes information about patches made to the libraries under the 3rdparty directory tree. For more information, see the discussion of the FSIVER utility in the Utilities Reference.
