Obtaining the SAP NetWeaver version programmatically

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if (and how) I can obtain the version of the SAP NetWeaver application server from a Java program?

I have an application running on several platforms, one of which is SAP NetWeaver. The application has a system information page in which we show system information like OS, RDBMS, etc. I would also like to add the name and version of the application server the application is running on.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

Did you try : http:<hostname>:<port>-> System Information-> All Components.

Or

You can access it directly by http://sknxdsap01as:8100/monitoring/SystemInfo , section Software Components

Thank you for your response, but that's not exactly what I'm after.

What I would like to know is how to obtain the version through a Java program.

On e.g. JBoss this is easily done by using an MBean, retrieving the version:

&nbsp;&nbsp; MBeanServerConnection server = (MBeanServerConnection)new InitialContext().lookup("jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor");

&nbsp;&nbsp; ObjectName on = new ObjectName("jboss.system:type=Server");

&nbsp;&nbsp; Object version = server.getAttribute(on, "VersionNumber");

I would like to use something similar for running on the SAP NetWeaver server.

I'll answer my own question.

There is a System property that contains the version number and patch level of the SAP NetWeaver server.

It can be obtained through this line of code:

String version = System.getProperty("SAP_J2EE_Engine_Version");
