How do I find the specific Java service release (SR) that WebSphere Portal is running?

Question & Answer


Question

This technote discusses how to find the specific Java service release that WebSphere Portal is running.

Cause

SystemOut.log, trace.log, and javacore files show some Java version information but not the specific Java service release.

The following trace.log example from Windows operating system does not show specific Java service release information:

Java version = J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 Windows Server 2003 x86-32 j9vmwi3223ifx-20080811 (JIT enabled)
J9VM - 20080809_21892_lHdSMr
JIT - 20080620_1845_r8
GC - 200806_19, Java Compiler = j9jit23, Java VM name = IBM J9 VM

Answer

Execute the following command:

<was_root>/java/bin/java -version.



The following example from AIX operating system below shows WebSphere Portal is running Java SDK 1.5 service release 8a (SR8a):
