Check if ISD is installed

[mavrick21]

Hello gurus,

Is there a way to check if Information Services Director (ISD) is installed in our current installation? Ours is 8.5 edition.

Previously I've created Parallel jobs and exposed them as web service but I don't know if we could do the same with Server jobs? (We're currently licensed for Server jobs only)

Thanks

Probably the easiest is to look at the Version.xml file in the installation directory. There is a products list in this file.

Otherwise start the console. If you have both IA and ISD both will be mentioned on the startup screen.

Ray,

I'm looking at Products tag in Version.xml and here's what I see:

<Products>
<Product productId="metadata.server" version="8.5.0.2"/>
<Product productId="DataStageCommon" version="8.5.0.2"/>
<Product productId="datastage" version="8.5.0.2"/>
<Product productId="qualitystage" version="8.5.0.2"/>
<Product productId="MetadataWorkbench" version="8.5.0.2"/>
<Product productId="ISTools" version="8.5.0.2"/>
<Product productId="ISALite" version="8.5.0.2"/>
</Products>

When I open IBM InfoSphere Information Server Console I see IA only in the startup screen. But I see ISD Input, ISD Output, Web Services Client and Web Services Transformer in the palette.

Does this mean only the client plugins are installed but the core web services Server component needs to be installed? If so then to install ISD we need to re-install again with ISD option checked?

Thanks for your time.

I agree with your summation.
