Product version and history information

Edit online

You can determine the installed version of the product by looking at the version and the build date (also specified as a build number) that is displayed in the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console welcome page or in the output of the versionInfo command.

The first six digits of the build level represent the year and month the installed product version was released, for example:

IBM® Business Process Manager Version 8.5.7.0 starts with "201603"
IBM Business Process Manager Version 8.5.6.0 starts with "201503"
IBM Business Automation Workflow Enterprise Version 24.0.0 starts with "202406"
IBM Business Automation Workflow Enterprise Version 24.0.1 starts with "202412"
IBM Business Automation Workflow Enterprise Version 25.0.0 starts with "202506"

The following example displays the output of the versionInfo command:


Name                  IBM Business Automation Workflow Enterprise
Version               8.6.9.25000

You can also determine the version and build level from the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) SystemOut.log header information, for example:

WebSphere Platform 8.5.5.27 [ND 8.5.5.27 cf272504.01] [BPMPC 8.6.9.25000 20250606-065036] running with process name tapallinoneCell01\Dmgr01\dmgr and process id 5964
