How to Establish if a Product is Installed in e-Business Suite

You can find out what products are installed in e-Business Suite, and their patch levels, via Oracle Applications Manager. You will also find a list of the installed by running the script adutilconf.sql, or in the file applprod.txt.

You can find out the patch level of any product you have installed in e-Business Suite by running the following query via SQL:

$ sqlplus apps / pwd

SELECT substr(APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME,1,8) product, substr(PRODUCT_VERSION,1,14) version, substr(PATCH_LEVEL,1,11) patch_level FROM fnd_application a, fnd_product_installations p
WHERE a.application_id = p.application_id
ORDER BY application_short_name
/

If you know the product code, you can obtain output for individual products with the following SQL:

SELECT patch_level
FROM fnd_product_installations
WHERE patch_level LIKE 'product_code'
/

for example: WHERE patch_level LIKE 'BIS'

The product code is the 2- or 3-letter code you see when you search for a patch in Metalink by product family, and in the name of the patchset, e.g. 11i.BIS.L.

As a double check that the database knows that the product is installed, you can run the following query. It should produce the same answer:

SELECT fa.application_id id, fa.application_short_name app, fa.application_name, fpi.status,fpi.patch_level
FROM fnd_application_all_view fa, fnd_product_installations fpi
WHERE fa.application_id = fpi.application_id
AND fpi.patch_level LIKE 'product_code'
/


Bear in mind that it is possible to have most e-Business Suite products installed without applying a patch, because they are shipped with the base rapidinstall releases of e-Business Suite.
