If you have ever managed a SAP BusinessObjects server, there will be a time where you need to determine which Patch or Service Pack is installed on your server. There a a few ways to find this information and I will outline them below:
On a Windows Operating Systems you can check the “Programs and Features” MMC under the control panel:
You should see a list of both the Name and Version number of SAP BusinessObjects that is installed. Below is a version number table you can reference.
You can check the CMS.EXE version number on Windows:
Browse to “Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\cms.exe” and right click the cms.exe file. Chose the details tab and look for the version number. Please note that you are only checking one executable. It is possible that other service executables have a lower or higher version number. Therefore it is best to rely on “Programs and Features” MMC information.
You can check the boe_cmsd file on Linux
Browse to the “../sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64” folder on you Linux server and run the following command:
strings boe_cmsd | grep BOBJVERSION
You will see results simular to this:
@(#)BOBJVERSION: 14.0.2.565 boe_cmsd release 11/12/21 linux_x64
View the Metrics property on the Central Management Server in the CMC
The metrics property on each server in the CMC contains the version number. You can obtain the version number via the web based central management console (CMC). As stated above you should also check the “Programs and Features” MMC information. If you are on Linux or UNIX, this might be easier then using the command line.
Check the install inventry.txt file.
In my opinion, this is the most precise way to identify what was installed. The inventory.txt file contains a line for each package and patch that is installed on your server. It is also OS independent.
