dspmqver (display version information)

Display IBM MQ version and build information.


Purpose

Use the dspmqver command to display IBM MQ version and build information.

By default, the dspmqver command displays details of the installation from which it was invoked. A note is displayed if other installations exist; use the -i parameter to display their details.


Syntax

dspmqver  -a  -p components -f fields-b-v-i


Optional parameters

    -a
    Display information about all fields and components.
    For IBM MQ Version 9.1 and earlier, when 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system, the dspmqver -a command might issue a message suggesting that the 32 bit version of GSKit is not installed. For more information, see the Command failure section of this topic. This issue is fixed in IBM MQ Version 9.2.

    -p Components
    Display information for the components specified by component. Either a single component or multiple components can be specified. Enter either the value of a single component or the sum of the values of all the required components. Available components and related values are as follows:

    Value Description
    1 IBM MQ server, or client.
    2 IBM MQ classes for Java.
    4 IBM MQ classes for Java Message Service.
    8 WebScale Distribution Hub
    16 1 IBM MQ custom channel for Windows Communication Foundation
    32 IBM Message Service Client for .NET (XMS .NET) - this component is only available on Windows
    64 GSKit

    For HP Integrity NonStop Server, this is TLS

    For IBM MQ Version 9.1 and earlier, when 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system, the dspmqver -a command might issue a message suggesting that the 32 bit version of GSKit is not installed. For more information, see the Command failure section of this topic. This issue is fixed in IBM MQ Version 9.2.

      The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000135).

    The default value is 1.

    -f Fields
    Display information for the fields specified by field. Specify either a single field or multiple fields. Enter either the value of a single field or the sum of the values of all the required fields. Available fields and related values are as follows:

    8192 License type
    Note:
    1. Not applicable to HP Integrity NonStop Server.

    Information for each selected field is displayed on a separate line when the dspmqver command is run.

    The default value is 8191. This displays information for all fields.

    -b
    Omit header information from the report.

    -v
    Display verbose output.

    -i
    Display information about all installations. We cannot use this option with other options. The installation from which the dspmqver command was issued is displayed first. For any other installations, only the following fields are displayed: Name, Version, Installation name, Installation description, Installation path, and Primary installation.

Command failure

Failure when 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system

In IBM MQ Versions 8.0, 9.0 and 9.1, the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IBM Global Security Kit for IBM MQ (GSKit) are bundled together. When you run dspmqver -a or dspmqver -p 64, the command checks both versions of GSKit. When 32-bit support is missing from a 64-bit system, you might get a message suggesting that the 32-bit version of GSKit is not installed. The GSKit issue is fixed in IBM MQ Version 9.2. For information about 64-bit Linux distributions that might no longer support 32-bit applications by default, and guidance on manually loading the 32-bit libraries for these platforms, see Hardware and software requirements on Linux systems.

Failure when viewing the IBM MQ classes for Java

The dspmqver command can fail if you try to view version or build information for the IBM MQ classes for Java, and you have not correctly configured the environment, or if the IBM MQ JRE component is not installed, and an alternative JRE could not be located.

For example, you might see the following message: 
[root@blade883 ~]# dspmqver -p 2
AMQ8351: IBM MQ Java environment has not been configured 
correctly, or the IBM MQ JRE feature has not been installed.
To resolve this problem, consider installing the IBM MQ JRE component if it is not already installed, or ensure that the path is configured to include the JRE, and that the correct environment variables are set; for example, by using setjmsenv or setjmsenv64. For example: 
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mqm/java/jre/bin
cd /opt/mqm/java/bin/
. ./setjmsenv64

[root@blade883 bin]# dspmqver -p 2
Name:       IBM MQ classes for Java
Version:    8.0.0.0
Level:      k000-L110908
Build Type: Production

Note that the setjmsenv and setjmsenv64 commands apply to UNIX only.

On Windows, if the IBM MQ JRE component is installed, we need to issue the setmqenv command to resolve error AMQ8351.
