How to check installed modules in Oracle apps

There are many ways to check installed modules in Oracle apps.

Method-1

a) Source the applications environment file for the Admin node
b) cd $AD_TOP/sql/
c) Execute:

Check product status by product short name.

• Implemented product has the status ‘Installed’.

• Products with the status ‘Shared’ are not fully implemented – only partially installed for dependent Product(s).

Method-2

sqlplus apps/<apps name>
select fa.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME, fpi.PATCH_LEVEL, DECODE(fpi.STATUS, 'I','Installed',
'S','Shared', 'N', 'Inactive', fpi.STATUS) Status , fpi.DB_STATUS
from fnd_product_installations fpi,FND_APPLICATION fa
where fpi.APPLICATION_ID in (
select APPLICATION_ID from FND_APPLICATION where APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME like '')
and fa.APPLICATION_ID=fpi.APPLICATION_ID;
