genVersionReport
Alternatively, you can use the genVersionReport command. The genVersionReport command uses the versionInfo command to generate the versionReport.html report file in the current working directory.

EXAMPLE

C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common\CM\profiles\cmprofile\bin.


The report includes a list of changed components and installed or uninstalled maintenance packages. The genVersionReport script invokes the versionInfo script. The first command specifies the correct parameters to place the information into an HTML file in the current working directory.

You can find the version of the Websphere Application Server IBM HTTP Server (IHS) plugin in the http_pluggin.log in the following path . Note: It should match the version of the other products.
