Obtaining server version information with scripting

 

Use the wsadmin tool and scripting to obtain server version information. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to query the server version information:

 

Procedure

  1. Identify the server and assign it to the server variable.

    Example output:

    WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=server1,mbeanIdentifier=server.xml#Server_1,
    type=Server,node=mynode,process=server1,processType=ManagedProcess

  2. Query the server version. The server version information is stored in the serverVattribute. The getAttribute command returns the attribute value of a single attribute, passing in the attribute name.

    Note: To run the following commands as a non-root user, have write permission for the app_server_root/properties/version/ and app_server_root/properties/version/history directories.

    Example output for a Network Deployment installation follows:
