Obtain server version information with scripting
Use the wsadmin tool and scripting to obtain server version information.
See the topic about starting the wsadmin scripting client using wsadmin.sh for more information.
Perform the following steps to query the server version information:
Tasks
- 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, we must have write permission for the app_server_root/properties/version/ and app_server_root/properties/version/history directories.
- Jacl:
$AdminControl getAttribute $server serverVersion- Jython:
print AdminControl.getAttribute(server, 'serverVersion')
