This appendix describes how to view Oracle Fusion Middleware release numbers.
It appendix contains the following sections:
To understand the release level nomenclature used by Oracle, examine the example of an Oracle Fusion Middleware release number shown in Figure F-1.
Figure F-1 Example of an Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Number
In Figure F-1, each digit is labeled:
Major Oracle platform number
This is the most general identifier. It represents a major new edition (or version) of an application, such as Oracle database server or Oracle Fusion Middleware, and indicates that the release contains significant new functionality.
Database maintenance release number
This digit represents a maintenance release level. Some new features may also be included.
Oracle Fusion Middleware release number
This digit reflects the release level of Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Component-specific release number
This digit identifies a release level specific to a component. Different components can have different numbers in this position depending upon, for example, component patch sets or interim releases.
Platform-specific release number
This digit identifies a platform-specific release.
The following sections describe how to obtain the release numbers of Oracle Fusion Middleware:
All Oracle Fusion Middleware installations have a release number. This number is updated when you apply a patch set release or upgrade the installation.
You can view the release number of an Oracle Fusion Middleware installation using Opatch. Run the following command:
(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory (Windows) ORACLE_HOME\OPatch\opatch lsinventory
For example, on UNIX:
./opatch lsinventory Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 13.1.0.0.0 Copyright (c) 2013, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. Oracle Home : /scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home Central Inventory : /scratch/oracle1/oraInventory from : /scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/oraInst.loc OPatch version : 13.1.0.0.0 OUI version : 13.1.0.0.0 Log file location : /scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/cfgtoollogs/opatch/opatch2013-06-07_08-24-23AM_1.log OPatch detects the Middleware Home as "/scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home" Lsinventory Output file location : /scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/cfgtoollogs/opatch/lsinv/lsinventory2013-06-07_08-24-23AM.txt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . . .
You can use the following command to view the release number of Oracle WebLogic Server:
(UNIX) cat $ORACLE_HOME/wlserver/.product.properties | grep WLS_PRODUCT_VERSION (Windows) type %0RACLE_HOME%\wlserver\.product.properties | findstr WLS_PRODUCT_VERSION
For example, on UNIX:
cat $ORACLE_HOME/wlserver/.product.properties | grep WLS_PRODUCT_VERSION WLS_PRODUCT_VERSION=10.3.6.0
All Oracle Fusion Middleware components have a release number and many contain services that have release numbers. These numbers may be updated when you apply a patch set release or upgrade the installation.
You can view the release number of components and their services by using the following commands:
On UNIX:
cd ORACLE_HOME/inventory
ls -d Components*/*/*
On Windows:
cd ORACLE_HOME/inventory/Componentsn dir /S /A:D
If you are using an Oracle Database instance for your metadata repository, you can view the release number of the database using SQL*Plus as follows (you can be connected to the database as any user to issue these commands):
SQL> COL PRODUCT FORMAT A40 SQL> COL VERSION FORMAT A15 SQL> COL STATUS FORMAT A15 SQL> SELECT * FROM PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION; PRODUCT VERSION STATUS ---------------------------------- -------------- ---------------- NLSRTL 11.2.0.1.0 Production Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.1.0 Production PL/SQL 11.2.0.1.0 Production TNS for Linux: 11.2.0.1.0 Production
If you are using an Oracle Database instance for your metadata repository, you can view the release number of the schema using SQL*Plus, as follows:
SQL> COL COMP_ID FORMAT A20 SQL> COL COMP_NAME A30 SQL> COL VERSION FORMAT A20 SQL> SELECT COMP_ID, COMP_NAME, VERSION FROM SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY; COMP_NAME VERSION -------------------- ----------------------------- -------------------- Audit Service 12.1.2.0.0 Audit Servicei Append 12.1.2.0.0 Audit Service Viewer 12.1.2.0.0 Metadata Services 12.1.2.0.0 . . .
