You're right, I completely forgot to mention the version. The databases
where I think it might be running are 9i. I'll check for those schema
names. Thanks to everyone for your help. That's what I love about
oracle-l.

You don't mention which version you're running, so this is kind of
high-level suggestion.
If you have a database that you know/suspect contains Oracle
EBS/Financials data, look for a schema called APPLSYS (or APPS, but the
first is more distinctive). If things aren't terribly broken, then the
related application server hostnames should be listed in the FND_NODES
table.
If you're really flying blind, you can look for running application
processes with names containing FND, XDO, WF (case-insensitive search).
Also for "application servers" running a TNS listener without a database
on-board (not a 100% guarantee, but it's a tell).
For a general overview of the sort of stuff that runs on the applications
tier, you can also check out the docs
<https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26401_01/nav/technology.htm>, specifically
the "Oracle E-Business Suite System Administration" section. That's for
the 12.2 release, but you should be able to find similar docs for older
releases. I assume you're already perfectly capable of looking for docs, so
I'm offering this up as a convenience, not as "RTFM snark." :)

I've been tasked with finding all the servers where Oracle Financials is

I've never worked with Oracle apps before. What command(s) can I use to
see if it's running or installed? Appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you
