QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

IMPORTANT:

Most of the information provided by the scripts below can be obtained from the RDA diagnostics, which is simple to perform and provides more complete information about the installed software. This should be the privileged set of information provided to Support.
You can find the RDA test for your APPS version in one of the following:

R12.0.6+ : All RDA Data Collection Test (Doc ID 732091.1)
R12.0.[3-4] : All RDA Data Collection Test (Doc ID 420427.1)

1. How to find versions of files in packages?

select text from dba_source
where name like '%&PKG_NAME%'
and line = 2;

Example:

select text from dba_source
where name = 'GLRX_JOURNAL_PKG'
and line = 2;

2. How to check if a patch is applied?

select * from ad_bugs
where bug_number = &bug_number;

select * from ad_applied_patches
where patch_name = &bug_number;

SELECT DISTINCT a.bug_number, e.patch_name, c.end_date, b.applied_flag
FROM ad_bugs a,
ad_patch_run_bugs b,
ad_patch_runs c,
ad_patch_drivers d,
ad_applied_patches e
WHERE a.bug_id = b.bug_id
AND b.patch_run_id = c.patch_run_id
AND c.patch_driver_id = d.patch_driver_id
AND d.applied_patch_id = e.applied_patch_id
AND a.bug_number LIKE '&bug_number'
ORDER BY 1 DESC ;

3. How to find the patch set level for an application?

select substr(aa.application_short_name,1,20) "Product",
a.patch_level "Patch Level"
from fnd_product_installations a, fnd_application aa
where a.application_id = aa.application_id
and aa.application_short_name like '%&short_name%';

Example:

select substr(aa.application_short_name,1,20) "Product",
a.patch_level "Patch Level"
from fnd_product_installations a, fnd_application aa
where a.application_id = aa.application_id
and aa.application_short_name like '%AP%';

4. How to find instance name, host name, apps and RDBMS versions of the instance user is logged into?

select i.instance_name, i.host_name, f.release_name release, i.version
from v$instance i, fnd_product_groups f
where upper(substr(i.instance_name,1,4)) = upper(substr(f.applications_system_name,1,4));

5. How to find the latest version of a file on a given instance?

select sub.filename, sub.version
from (
   select adf.filename filename,
   afv.version version,
   rank()over(partition by adf.filename
   order by afv.version_segment1 desc,
   afv.version_segment2 desc,afv.version_segment3 desc,
   afv.version_segment4 desc,afv.version_segment5 desc,
   afv.version_segment6 desc,afv.version_segment7 desc,
   afv.version_segment8 desc,afv.version_segment9 desc,
   afv.version_segment10 desc,
   afv.translation_level desc) as rank1
   from ad_file_versions afv,
     (
     select filename, app_short_name, subdir, file_id
     from ad_files
     where upper(filename) like upper('%&filename%')
     ) adf
   where adf.file_id = afv.file_id
) sub
where rank1 = 1
order by 1

You can enter partial file names and the search is not case sensitive.

For example you can search on "glxjeent" for the form "GLXJEENT.fmb" or "frmsheet1" for java file "FrmSheet1VBA.class".

Note: This script works for the following file types:
- .class, .drvx, .fmb, .htm, .lct, .ldt, .o, .odf, .pkb, .pkh, .pls, .rdf, .rtf, .sql, .xml.
It doens't work for .lpc, .lc files, etc.

6. How to check the installation status and patch set level for a product?

Example 1

select patch_level, status from fnd_product_installations
where patch_level like '%FND%';

Example 2

select patch_level, status from fnd_product_installations
where patch_level like '%XDO%';

7. How to backup a table before users use sql to update the apps tables?

Example 1:

Create table ap_invoices_all_bkp as select * from ap_invoices_all;

Example 2:

Create table gl_interface_bkp as select * from gl_interface;

Note: SQL updates are not allowed unless directed to do so by Oracle Support or Development

8. How to find the table(s) name with the column name?

User knows the column_name but not sure what table(s) the column name is in.

Example:

select * from dba_tab_columns
where column_name like '%SET_OF_BOOKS_ID%';

This will provide the names of all the tables that has column_name SET_OF_BOOKS_ID.

9. How to check for invalid objects in a particular module?

select OWNER, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE
from DBA_OBJECTS
where OBJECT_NAME like 'FND_%'
and STATUS = 'INVALID';

select OWNER, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE
from DBA_OBJECTS
where OBJECT_NAME like 'AP_%'
and STATUS = 'INVALID';

10. How to check for invalid objects in all the modules?

select owner, object_name, object_type from dba_objects
where status = 'INVALID'
order by object_name, object_type;

11. How to find the applications in the system that are either installed shared?

select fat.application_id, FAT.APPLICATION_NAME, fdi.status, fdi.patch_level
FROM FND_APPLICATION_TL FAT, fnd_product_installations FDI
WHERE FDI.APPLICATION_ID = FAT.APPLICATION_ID
and fdi.status in ('I', 'S')

Note: Status 'I' meaning installed and status 'S' meaning shared.

12. How to determine database character set?

select value from nls_database_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';

The following scripts will provide NLS parameter and value for database, instance and session.

select * from nls_database_parameters;
select * from nls_instance_parameters;
select * from nls_session_parameters;

13. How to check the indexes on a table?

Example:

select index_owner owner, table_name tab, index_name ind, column_name colu, column_position position
from DBA_IND_COLUMNS
where table_name = 'GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS';

14. How to check for custom triggers on seeded tables?

Example:

select trigger_name, owner
from dba_triggers
where table_name = 'GL_BALANCES';

15. How to get the header file versions for an executable in Unix?

Example 1

Log into UNIX.
> cd $AP_TOP/bin
> strings -a APXXTR |grep Header

Example 2

> cd $RG_TOP/bin
> Strings -a RGRARG |grep Header

The above will provide the versions of all the header files in those executables.

Note: the command adident (in unix, windows and other OS) can also be used to provide the file versions.
