Obtaining server version information with scripting
Use wsadmin.sh and scripting to obtain server version information.
Perform the following steps to query the server version information:
Procedure
- Identify the server and assign it to the server variable.
### Jacl
set server [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=Server,name=server1,node=mynode,*]### Jython
server = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=Server,name=server1,node=mynode,*') print server
Example output:
WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=server1,mbeanIdentifier=server.xml#Server_1, type=Server,node=mynode,process=server1,processType=ManagedProcess
- Query the server version. The server version information is stored in the serverVersion attribute. The getAttribute command returns the attribute value of a single attribute, passing in the attribute name.
To run the following commands as a non-root user, have write permission for the WAS_HOME/properties/version/ and WAS_HOME/properties/version/history directories.
### Jacl
$AdminControl getAttribute $server serverVersion### Jython
print AdminControl.getAttribute(server, 'serverVersion')
