Checking a file version for Oracle E-Business Suite binaries.

When using Oracle products, there are certain bugs that we might come across time to time and as a result there may raise situation where we are required to raise Oracle Support requests (SR).


When dealing with SRs, support representatives might require us to provide file versions of certain oracle binaries relating to the issue that we require them to help us with. You may issue the following commands in order get the file version:


strings -a <location to the file> | grep -i '$Header'

eg: strings -a $AR_TOP/patch/115/sql/ARXPRECB.pls |grep -i '$Header'

OR

adident Header  <location to the file>
eg: adident Header $AR_TOP/patch/115/sql/ARXPRECB.pls
