How can I tell the patch level / version of the Java API jar files?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I inherited a portal dynpro app including the jar files for mdm...

mdm-admin;mdm-common;mdm-core;mdm-extenstion;mdm-protocol

and com.sap.security.api.jar

There is a new problem with the app and I would like to check my patch version vs the MDM server.

I don't know how to find the patch version when what I have is the jar files.

Thanks,

Hi Smith,

Using command(DOS) prompt, go the folder path where your jar files are located and use the command,

java -jar mdm-core.jar

mdm-core.jar is the file name, similarly give the different file names to find there version.

Similarly you can use the following command from a java program to retrieve the version

com.sap.mdm.util.BuildVersion.getBuildVersion();

To know the version of you MDM tools using command(DOS) prompt, go the MDM installation folder, and then under MDM server folder folder give the following path,

mds/version.

Cheers,

Cherry.
