Hi,
If you wnat know what options are installed then try this:
select * from v$option;
or
set head off feed off pages 0 serveroutput on
col banner format a72 wrap
select banner
from   sys.v_$version;
select '   With the '||parameter||' option'
from   sys.v_$option
where  value = 'TRUE';
select '   The '||parameter||' option is not installed'
from   sys.v_$option
where  value <> 'TRUE';
begin
    dbms_output.put_line('Port String: '||dbms_utility.port_string);
end;
