How to Display WebSphere Application Server Maintenance Details and/or Find if a PK Fix (iFix) is Installed

Troubleshooting


Problem

This document shows how you can display more granular detail about which fixes are applied to WebSphere Application Server.

Environment

WebSphere Application Server V6.0 and later for IBM i

Resolving The Problem

Use the following commands to display the WebSphere Application Server product maintenance details:


1.Issue the STRQSH command.
2.Issue the cd <product install location>/bin command.

For example:

cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/v85/Express/bin
3.For WAS v7.0 and earlier:
Execute the "versionInfo -maintenancePackageDetail" command.

For WAS v8.0 and later:
Execute the "versionInfo -ifixDetail" or "versionInfo -fixpackDetail" command.

The -maintenancePackageDetail/-fixpackDetail option will add details about applied maintenance packages/fixpacks to the report. The -ifixDetail option will add details about the applied interim fixes to the report.

For more detail on the content of the report, you should refer to the following URLs:

WAS v7.0 and earlier:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.websphere.express.iseries.doc/info/iseriesexp/ae/rins_versionInfo.html

WAS v8.0 and later:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v8r5/topic/com.ibm.websphere.express.iseries.doc/ae/rins_versionInfo.html

The output of the versionInfo command helps answer the question, "Is PK##### installed?"

Here is an example output from the "versionInfo -fixpackDetail" command:
