IBM Tivoli Training Netcool/Proviso Version information
This IBM Education Assistant module demonstrates obtaining Netcool/Proviso? component version information.
Objectives
Objectives Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: Use specific commands to gather selected version information Identify when version information is useful
Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: Use the appropriate command to gather all version information Use specific commands to gather selected version information
Assumptions
Assumptions Before issuing commands: You must have Netcool/Proviso 4.3.4, or later, installed and running You have access to the servers in the Proviso installation and login access to the Proviso user for each component

Version information from Proviso GUI
Version information from Proviso GUI
Partial version information for Netcool/Proviso components can be found in the Proviso GUI, specifically the monitor tab. Both the Collector Information and Database Information windows contain version information. However, you will need to open multiple windows, and there are no provisions for exporting the data.
DataLoad CLI information using showVersion
DataLoad CLI information using showVersion
The showVersion command can be issued on DataLoad servers. The command is located in the dataload bin directory. The command outputs the version numbers of the component parts of the dataload.
DataLoad CLI information using dialogTest2
DataLoad CLI information using dialogTest2
An additional dataload command can be used to obtain version information. It is in the dataload contribs directory. The command is dialogTest2 and is used with the version option.
DataChannel CLI information using showVersion
DataChannel CLI information using showVersion
The showVersion command can also be issued on DataChannel servers. The command is located in the datachannel bin directory. The command outputs the version numbers of the component parts of the datachannel.
DataMart CLI information using showVersion

The showVersion command also can be issued on DataMart servers. The command is located in the datamart bin directory. The command outputs the version numbers of the component parts of the datamart.
DataView CLI information using the version.pvr file
DataView CLI information using the version.pvr file
The DataView servers have a file in the dataview root directory named version.pvr. It contains the version and build number of the dataview installation.

Source the environment before running the dbMgr versionSupportLevelDump command.
dbMgr versionSupportLevelDump
dbMgr versionSupportLevelDump
The dbMgr command, located in the DataMart home bin directory, can be used with the versionSupportLevelDump option to provide a detailed report of the version, build, and install date of your Netcool/Proviso components. The output of the command is placed in Oracle?s TNSADMIN/admin/ORACLE_SID/udump directory (often /opt/oracle/admin/PV/udump).
dbMgr versionSupportLevelDump output
dbMgr versionSupportLevelDump output
The output of the command provides specific details for every Netcool/Proviso component installed. If, for example, a user reports missing Cisco environmental information on Netcool/Proviso reports, it would be helpful to know which version of that Technology Pack is installed. It is also helpful to know what component versions exist before and after installing updates. This tool can be used for monitoring changes to your components. Running this report after you update Netcool/Proviso components ensures that the install occurred as planned. In other words, the version or component you intended to install is actually installed.
