How to check the BI Publisher 10g version and build

Just open the BI Publisher login page, for example http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver, and check the bottom right information.

You should be able to see the version and the build number (in this case version 10.1.3.4.2 and build 1350).

If this information isn’t visible, that's because the debug mode isn't active. If this is the case, open the page source and check the “meta name” HTML tag. In Internet Explorer, this can be done in the browser menu: Page > View Source.

<meta name="Generator" content="Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.2 (build# 1350 on Fri Dec 21 18:27:06 WET 2012)"/>

To activate the login page build information, you need to have the BI Publisher application running in debug mode.
