This appendix describes how to view Oracle Fusion Middleware release numbers.
Topics:
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:
The first two numbers are the Major Release number.
This is the most general identifier. It represents a major new edition (or version) of Oracle Fusion Middleware, and indicates that the release contains significant new functionality.
The third number is the Minor release number.
The fourth number indicates a Patch Set release.
The fifth number indicates a Patch Set Update release.
The following topics 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 Copyright (c) 2014, 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 : 13.2.0.0.0 OUI version : 13.2.0.0.0 Log file location : /scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/cfgtoollogs/opatch/opatch2014-05-29_13-23-02PM_1.log OPatch detects the Middleware Home as "/scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home" May 29, 2014 1:23:33 PM oracle.sysman.oii.oiii.OiiiInstallAreaControl initAreaControl INFO: Install area Control created with access level 0 Lsinventory Output file location : /scratch/oracle1/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/cfgtoollogs/opatch/lsinv/lsinventory2014-05-29_13-23-02PM.txt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no Interim patches installed in this Oracle Home.
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=12.1.3.0.00
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 11.2.0.4.0 Production Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.4.0 Production PL/SQL 11.2.0.4.0 Production TNS for Linux: 11.2.0.4.0 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 A40 SQL> COL VERSION FORMAT A20 SQL> SELECT COMP_ID, COMP_NAME, VERSION FROM SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY; COMP_ID COMP_NAME VERSION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ . . .
