Hi All,
I would like to know the Linux command to check/see the version of SAP Data Services at patch level.
I understand that we can check this information at component level in designer using Menu>>HELP>>About.
Lets assume, I do not have access to any of the Data services development tool and I like to check the correct version of the product installed.
I am aware of the getting the IPS/BOE version using command however, SDS version using linux command is still a mistry.
If somebody is looking for Linux command to get the IPS version, then see the below command.
/usr/sap/<SID>/businessobjects/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64
strings boe_cmsd | grep BOBJVERSION@(#)BOBJVERSION: 14.0.4.738 boe_cmsd release 12/06/11 linux_x64 vclnxc39vm1sjain (BOB member since 2009-04-17)

Windows:
-v is the flag for the version.
I am getting this as a return:
Which means that the job server is on BODS 4.0, SP2 with a fix level… 3 or so. The last numbers you need to get the SAP Notes to determine the exact fix level.
