The first time that i had to find the exact Oracle Application Server Version I thought it would be an easy task but, it is not so simple if you don’t know where to look for it. I forgot that it was not straightforward because now I know where to find it. But the other day a friend called me and asked me where to find OAS version. That’s why i’m writing this post.

If you got a fresh install you can look into <ORACLE_HOME>/install/readme.txt and find the version.

But i prefer to take a look into <ORACLE_HOME>/config/ias.properties
For example:

$ grep Version $ORALCE_HOME/config/ias.properties
Version=10.1.2.0.2

In AIX 5L Version 5.3 when you start the iasconsole and then you access to Oracle Application Server console using a web browser, then the application hangs and the following error message is displayed in the web browser:

500 Internal Server Error


java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/sysman/eml/app/Console
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java(Compiled Code))

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:568)

This error occurs because the EMCTL IAS console hangs after logging in. Check the emdctl.trc file to verify the issue.

The next steps describe how to rectify this issue.
