# Viewing CEV details for Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle
<a name="custom-cev.view"></a>

**Note**  
End of support notice: On March 31, 2027, AWS will end support for Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle. After March 31, 2027, you will no longer be able to access the RDS Custom for Oracle console or RDS Custom for Oracle resources. For more information, see [RDS Custom for Oracle end of support](RDS-Custom-for-Oracle-end-of-support.md).

You can view details about your CEV manifest and the command used to create your CEV by using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI.

## Console
<a name="custom-cev.view.console"></a>

**To view CEV details**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Custom engine versions**.

   The **Custom engine versions** page shows all CEVs that currently exist. If you haven't created any CEVs, the page is empty.

1. Choose the name of the CEV that you want to view.

1. Choose **Configuration** to view the installation parameters specified in your manifest.  
![\[View the installation parameters for a CEV.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/images/cev-configuration-tab.png)

1. Choose **Manifest** to view the installation parameters specified in the `--manifest` option of the `create-custom-db-engine-version` command. You can copy this text, replace values as needed, and use them in a new command.

## AWS CLI
<a name="custom-cev.view.CEV"></a>

To view details about a CEV by using the AWS CLI, run the [describe-db-engine-versions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/rds/describe-db-engine-versions.html) command.

The following options are required:
+ `--engine engine-type`, where *engine-type* is `custom-oracle-ee`, `custom-oracle-se2`, `custom-oracle-ee-cdb`, or `custom-oracle-se2-cdb`
+ `--engine-version major-engine-version.customized_string`

The following example creates a non-CDB CEV that uses Enterprise Edition. The CEV name `19.my_cev1` starts with the major engine version number, which is required.

**Example**  
For Linux, macOS, or Unix:  

```
1. aws rds describe-db-engine-versions \
2.     --engine custom-oracle-ee \
3.     --engine-version 19.my_cev1
```
For Windows:  

```
1. aws rds describe-db-engine-versions ^
2.     --engine custom-oracle-ee ^
3.     --engine-version 19.my_cev1
```
The following partial sample output shows the engine, parameter groups, manifest, and other information.
