PeopleTools: To get exact version of Tools

 select TOOLSREL from sysadm.PSSTATUS;

If you are a regular PIA user, then the quickest way probably is in a PIA session via Ctrl-J key combination:

1. Sign-in into a PIA client session in a web browser.
2. Navigate to any non-search PIA page (does not matter which, Tools or application).
3. Press key combination Ctrl-J (press key Ctrl and while keeping it pressed, press key for letter J)
4. If any browser pop-up window opens (like Downloads History in Firefox), just discard (close) it.
5. On the PIA information page that opens, locate and copy your exact Tools version, like:
   
   
   
   
   

Or if you use App Designer or Data Mover utility more often than PIA, do this:

1. Login into your PeopleSoft Windows Workstation
2. Launch the Application Designer or Data Mover utility.
3. See what exact PeopleTools version it displays on the Signon dialog, like

Or if you have access to the application server box, via file peopletools.properties, property productversion:

1. Login into the application server box.
2. In its file system, navigate to path that corresponds to {PS_HOME}
3. Open file peopletools.properties
4. See the value of property productversion (usually at the bottom), like:
   
   productversion=8.55.03

Or on the PIA web server box, via file config_prop, property ps.discovery.toolsRelease :

1. Login into the PIA web server box.
2. In its file system, navigate to path {PS_HOME}/webserv/{SITE}/applications/peoplesoft/PORTAL.war/WEB-INF/psftdocs/{SITE}/webprof/
3. View content of file config_prop.
4. Locate property ps.discovery.toolsRelease
5. See its value (next string), the sequence would be like:
   
   <void method="put">
       <string>ps.discovery.toolsRelease</string>
       <string>8.55.03</string>
   </void>

• Or if by some reason you cannot check the above, but have access to app server log:
  
  
1. Login into the application server box.
2. In its file system, navigate to path {PS_HOME}/appserv/{SITE}/LOGS
3. View content of any log file, for example APPSRV_mmdd.LOG, search for word PeopleTools
4. There usually will be a line like
   
   PSAPPSRV.nnnn [.................................] (0) PeopleTools Release 8.54.12 (Linux) starting. ...
    

• Or as just another option, use PSADMIN utility:
  
  
  1. Login into your app server or batch (process scheduler) server box.
  2. Navigate in its file system to where the PSADMIN utility is located.
  3. Run this command
     psadmin -v
  4. Copy the exact version from its output, it would usually look like:
     
     Version 8.54.19
      
  5.
