If you have the Java Stack in your system, you could use

http://<host>:<http_port>/utl/UsageTypesInfo

For example:

http://10.1.1.198:50000/utl/UsageTypesInfo

use the user J2EE_ADMIN, and you will see the information...

When you install some software in operational system then you can see somewhere with some tools the name and version of this software. I need the same for usage types.

Hi,

I am not sure about your question but you can find some information as mentioned below.

1. Execute tcode SM51-> Release Notes

2. System->Status

Hope this helps.

Hai,

Are you asking in SAP perspective, if yes.

Login to the system in which you want to check - Goto to 'System' -- 'Status' -- click on 'Component information' button. You can find this button on the right corner of the popup.

If you want to check the softwares installed from OS level, then for example if you want to see what version of JAVA is installed, then type java -v.

This will give the version of JAVA installed in the machine.

in case of UNIX, in WINDOWS you can use control panel, add/remove programs or C:\Program Files.

In HP UX is "swlist" and in Red-hat Linux is "rpm -qa".

Try pkginfo at OS level or man pkginfo will give the details how to use the command.

May be it is the child question... so difficult. Then from other direction. Imagine you have host with installed SAP software. How to see its usage types? How to understand that some software installed on host makes this or that usage type? May be you need additional software to install to get needed IT scenario. But how can you understand this?

Hai,

You can use the above said options to get the components installed in the SAP system, which makes the system work fine.

You don't need any tool to find the softwares installed for an SAP system, when SAP itself offers the options to see the installed components.

You can use SPAM tcode to see all the components installed in SAP system.

Hi,

For AS- ABAP Login to the SAP system and check the system + status fro sap system menu or use SPAM to check the installed software components.

For AS- JAVA

http://<hostname>:<port>/index.html

Login with Administrator or j2ee_admin and check system components to find the usage types installed over AS-JAVA

If you dont have a login at SAP system level, you can atleast figure out if it was a dual stack installation or a standalone installation from OS level.

Check for

1. /usr/sap/SID/DVE* , /usr/sap/SID/SCS* : Dual Stack installation

2. /usr/sap/SID/DVE* , /usr/sap/SID/SYS : Standalone ABAP

3. /usr/sap/SID/JC, /usr/sap/SID/SCS, usr/sap/SID/SYS : Standalone JAVA

These are the only ways to find whats in the SAP system.
