pversions for Linux

The command to display version information for IBM® Spectrum Computing family products or components installed on your local Linux® host. To see the components installed on the entire cluster, use the egosh component list command, or the System & Services > Software Components page within the cluster management console.

Synopsis

pversions [-f env_file]

pversions -p [-f env_file] component_name

pversions -q [-f env_file]file_name

pversions -c package

pversions -h

Description

Use the pversions command to view the version information of the IBM Spectrum Computing family product or component installed on your Linux host.

The cluster location is normally determined by your environment setting, so ensure that your environment is set before you run the pversions command (that is, you sourced either the cshrc.platform or the profile.platform file). If you cannot source your environment, then use the -f env_file option and specify your full path and file name to the file that properly defines your EGO_TOP parameter.

Run the pversions command from the $EGO_TOP/3.7/install directory.

-h: Prints command usage to stderr and exits from the software.

pversions [-f `env_file`]

Displays the version of IBM Spectrum Conductor installed on your host, and details on anyIBM Spectrum Conductor fixes installed on top of the base product on the host.

env_file: Optionally, if you cannot set your environment (that is, you cannot source either the cshrc.platform or the profile.platform file), then use the -f option and specify your full path and file name to the file that properly defines your EGO_TOP parameter.
If you use the -f option, the pversions command obtains the cluster location from this file, not from the settings in your environment.

pversions -p [-f `env_file`] `component_name`

Displays details about the specified software component (such as egomgmt or egocore) installed on the IBM Spectrum Conductor host.

-p: Specifying the -p option shows details about the specified software component.
env_file: Optionally, if you cannot set your environment (that is, you cannot source either the cshrc.platform or the profile.platform file), then use the -f option and specify your full path and file name to the file that properly defines your EGO_TOP parameter.
If you use the -f option, the pversions command obtains the cluster location from this file, not from the settings in your environment.
component_name: Specify the software component name (such as egomgmt or egocore) to see information about the specified software component package. For example, if you have the egocore package installed, specify pversion -p egocore to see details about this software component package.
For a list of software components installed on the entire cluster, use the egosh component list command, or the System & Services > Software Components page within the cluster management console.

pversions -b [-f `env_file`] `build_number`

Displays details about the specified IBM Spectrum Conductor fix (build package) installed on top of the base product.

-b: Specifying the -b option shows the binary type, installation date, any notes, what it fixes, and files included in the fix build package.
env_file: Optionally, if you cannot set your environment (that is, you cannot source either the cshrc.platform or the profile.platform file), then use the -f option and specify your full path and file name to the file that properly defines your EGO_TOP parameter.
If you use the -f option, the pversions command obtains the cluster location from this file, not from the settings in your environment.
build_number: Specify the build number of an IBM Spectrum Conductor fix package installed on your host. For example, if you have fix 123456 installed, specify pversion -b 123456 to see details about this fix.

pversions -q [-f `env_file`] `file_name`

For each binary type, displays basic version information and the file location about the specified file installed on your host. This file can be part of a fix package. If the file was updated after the most recent full installation, this option also displays additional information about the most recent fix made to the file (binary type and fix build number, installation date, any notes, and what was fixed).

-q: Specifying the -q option shows information about the specified file.
env_file: Optionally, if you cannot set your environment (that is, you cannot source either the cshrc.platform or the profile.platform file), then use the -f option and specify your full path and file name to the file that properly defines your EGO_TOP parameter.
If you use the -f option, the pversions command obtains the cluster location from this file, not from the settings in your environment.
file_name: Specify the file name of an installed file on your host. This file can be part of a fix package. For example, specify pversion -q abc to see information about the abc file.

pversions -c `package`

Displays package contents of the specified IBM Spectrum Conductor fix (binary type and fix build number, any notes, what it fixes, and files included in the fix package) before you install it. Use this option to a package that has not yet been installed on your host.

package: Specify the full path and file name for the fix package. For example, specify pversion -c /myfixes/conductor-version_x86_64_build123456.tar.gz to see information about that particular fix package. You can later install this fix package on the host.
