I had to upgrade an environment from 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.3. The upgrade path is pretty simple and did not take long time to apply maintenance release and configuration. Oracle recommends not to follow the upgrade procedures but to apply the maintenance release. After applying the maintenance release, I noticed version mix match on workspace. Few of products upgraded to 11.1.2.3 but not all. I have not seen any error during upgrade and configuration. Logs.

Objective
The purpose of this article is to check the hidden product version on jar files. I will demonstrate only one components Hyperion Financial Reporting (HFR) version check steps but same applies to all most all the components.  

how To
To get the version file we would need to look for the file HReports.jar file from below given location Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/common/financialreporting/11.1.2.0/lib and follow the below given steps.

·         Copy the file server to your local machine. I prefer to use Winscp. It’s free and easy to use. 
·         Rename HReports.jar to HReports.zip.
·         Right click on it and select Open from the pop-up menu (this allow view of zip contents without extraction)
·         Double click on "META-INF" folder.
·         Right click on file "MANIFEST.MF" and select Open from the pop-up menu.
·         Open file in a text editor such as Notepad or Word.
·         The product version is indicated by the following parameters in the MANIFEST.MF file.
·         The details are you looking for are:-
o    Implementation-Version:
