Managed object metadata
Information about a node, such as operating system platform and product features, is maintained in the configuration repository in the form of properties. As product features are installed on a node, new property settings are added.
- To display the node version in the administrative console
- To ensure that new configuration types or attributes are not created or set on older release nodes
- To ensure that new resource types are not created on old release nodes
- To ensure that new applications are not installed on old release nodes because the old run time cannot support the new applications
The following base property keys are defined for WebSphere Application Server:
com.ibm.websphere.baseProductVersion

com.ibm.websphere.nodeOperatingSystem
: The operating
system platform on which the node runs.
com.ibm.websphere.deployed.features
: A list of
