You can check the version of a subflow at run time by using
the WebSphere® Message
Broker console or the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
About this task
Depending on how you have defined the version of a subflow
during the development phase, you have different options to check
the version of a subflow at run time:
- If you defined a keyword in the Label property of a Passthrough
node, you can use the WebSphere Message Broker console or the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
- If you added a Passthrough node to the subflow with a keyword
as the node name, you can use the WebSphere Message Broker console or the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
- If you set the Version property of the subflow, you can use WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
to see the subflow version.

Procedure
To check the version of a subflow at run time, choose
one of the following options:
- In the WebSphere Message Broker console, run the mqsireadbar command.
This command reads the properties stored in the broker archive (BAR)
file.
You run the command using the following syntax:
mqsireadbar -b your BAR file name
where your BAR file name is the name of
the BAR file you have created to deploy into the run time.
- In the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, double-click a subflow. The MQ
Explorer - Content tab opens where you can see the Properties
QuickView.
