Provide product information for the feature extension

We can provide version product information for our Feature Extensions by providing the installation with file...

We can add manually or using the featureManager script's installation option when...

  • The product information properties file can be installed if the feature being installed defines the IBM-Feature-Version.

  • The product information properties file in the feature archive (.esa) has the following path...

      wlp/lib/versions/filename.properties

    The following properties can be specified in the product information properties file:

      com.ibm.websphere.productId=yourProductID
      com.ibm.websphere.productOwner=TheProductOwner
      com.ibm.websphere.productVersion=yourProductVersion com.ibm.websphere.productName=yourProductName
      com.ibm.websphere.productInstallType=yourProductInstallType
      com.ibm.websphere.productEdition=yourProductEdition
      com.ibm.websphere.productQualifier=yourProductQualifier

    To override a particular feature extension information, include the following property in the product information properties file:

      com.ibm.websphere.productReplaces=theProductIdToReplace

    If our product is eligible for Getting Started Subcapacity Pricing (GSSP), set the following property to true in the product information properties file:

      com.ibm.websphere.gssp=true

    The following is an example of how to define subsystem entry content for installing the feature extension using the featureManager script, subsystem.mf: 


    Subsystem-ManifestVersion:1

    ...

    Subsystem-Content: userProdExt; version="[1,1.0.100]", user.ext.version.info; type="file"; location:="lib/versions/user.ext.version.info.properties" 

     IBM-Feature-Version: 2

    Example output...

      com.ibm.websphere.productId=XYZ Product ID
      com.ibm.websphere.productOwner=XYZ Inc
      com.ibm.websphere.productVersion=1.0.0
      com.ibm.websphere.productName=XYZ User Product
      com.ibm.websphere.productInstallType=Archive
      com.ibm.websphere.productEdition=Enterprise Edition

      Command:
      productInfo version

      Output:
      Product name: Websphere Application Server Product version: 8.5.5.0

      Product name: XYZ User Product
      Product version: 1.0.0
