Question
What is the procedure to view the version of your Red Brick Warehouse?
Answer
INTRODUCTION
The Red Brick version is stored in a file and can be displayed by any tool or utility that will display the contents of the file. The version information is needed when opening a case with IBM customer support.
STEPS
Perform the following steps to display the Red Brick version:
- 1. Locate the Red Brick installation directory. The environment variable RB_CONFG contains this directory.
2. Display the contents of the file that starts with SN.
Example:
On non Windows operating systems use a file manipulation command such as cat.
$ cat RB_CONFIG/SN*
6.30FC11
Windows operating systems can use Windows explorer and right click on the SN file. Open with Wordpad or Notepad.
Tip: Red Brick that has been upgraded may have multiple SN* files. Use the most recent file to get the current Red Brick version.
