Identify the server version

Post by myukassign »

Hi ,

Not sure am I asking a stupid question or not? Can anyone tell me how can I get the version of my datastage server? like 7.5.1 7.5.2 etc...

I am using ds client and its version is 7.5.2. Can I safly assume that my server is also the same version.

I have no hurry to get to know the answer.. if someone can help would be great..

One way to find is, take an export of any job and open the dsx and in the Header Section , you will see Server Version.

Code: Select all

BEGIN HEADER
   CharacterSet "CP1252"
   ExportingTool "Ascential DataStage Export"
   ToolVersion "4"
   ServerName "Anand_Local"
   ToolInstanceID "TST_DVL"
   MDISVersion "1.0"
   Date "2009-06-19"
   Time "10.00.48"
   ServerVersion "7.5.2"
END HEADER

From UNIX, look into $DSHOME/../../Version.xml

Even easier is to use the Help (About) menu in any DataStage client.
