How to display Jco version in a NW 7.4 java stack?

[Former Member]

Hi to all,

How to display Jco version in a NW 7.4 java stack?

In note "636912 - Frequent installation problems with SAP Java Connector" there is this command:

     java -jar {path-to-sapjco.jar}/sapjco.jar -stdout

but I cannot find "path-to-sapjco.jar".

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

That note is for stand alone jco and isn't relevant for the integrated jco, is there a particular reason you are trying to do it.

To be on the latest version of jco you need to have the latest SERVERCORE and ENGINEAPI patches for your current 7.4 sp level, generally though most 7.4 sp and patch levels are already using the latest jco patches.

Kind regards,

Hi Cathal,

my goal are:

- understand if Jco are integrated on a NW 7.4 java stack installation;

- which version of Jco there is in may system and how to check it.

You answered for the first question: there are integrated Jco in a NW 7.4 java stack. It's also possible to use standalone Jco, but it's not in my scope.

For the Jco version, I checked the sw components:

SERVERCORE     1000.7.40.5.0.20131201164500

ENGINEAPI          1000.7.40.5.0.20131201164500

How can I understand Jco version from this information?

Thank you for your help

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Regards the integrated Jco version. I can say for sure is that it's JCo 3 but I don't think we can narrow it down to an equivalent patch level to the stand alone JCo, there are fixes that would only apply to the integrated version and to the stand alone.

In the system information page (component tab) you will see: com.sap.mw.jco and its relevant patch level, rule of thumb is that having the latest ENGINEAPI patch will mean you have the latest jco patch.

I hope that is some help.

Kind regards,
Cathal

Hi Cathal,

on my system:

ENGINEAPI          1000.7.40.6.7.20140916220800

com.sap.mw.jco     7.4006.20140916160146.0000

I read note 1077727 - SAP JCo 3.0 release and support strategy that says: 

     The format of the JCo version number is <MajorRelease>.<MinorRelease>.<PatchLevel>

Does not meet the version format above found on system...

I think I have to find this format of version:

SAP JCo 3.0.11              as zip file (3.672 KB), April 29, 2014

Do you know where I can find it?

Thank you

Hi,

jco libs in the system have a different version format compared to stand alone Jco.

So, in a NW stack Java system this is the Jco versions:

ENGINEAPI          1000.7.40.6.7.20140916220800

com.sap.mw.jco     7.4006.20140916160146.0000

Thanks to all

Regards,

Mark
