How to find out the Oracle iAS version ?

Very Simple !!!!

From 9.0.4 version of iAS, Oracle uses a file called as ias.properties which exists in $ORACLE_HOME/config directory, where ORACLE_HOME is the location where the IAS (OR) Web Center (OR) SOA Suite are installed.

We can get the version of the IAS in this file under [InstallData] section as follows:
Version=10.1.2.0.2

Pretty simple isnt it ? :)

This file also lists
a) if infra database is used or not
b) name of the INFRA datbasename
c) Virtual Hostname
d) it would also contain if Infra is on RAC nodes
e) OID host and port numbers
f) SSL Enabled
g) and Finally, what all components did we install as a part of the installation (of IAS or SOA Suite or WebCenter).

This information is useful especially when we want find out what components are installed while patching or quickly find out the ports of OID etc. If any new DBA / iAS Administrator comes up, he can check this file to know the TYPE of installation that was done.
