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 IBM Integration Console or
the IBM Integration
Explorer.
- If you added a Passthrough node to the subflow with a keyword
as the node name, you can use the IBM Integration Console or
the IBM Integration
Explorer.
- If you set the Version property of the subflow, you can use IBM Integration
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 IBM Integration Console,
run the mqsireadbar command. This command reads the
properties stored in the 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 IBM Integration
Explorer,
double-click a subflow. The MQ Explorer - Content tab
opens where you can see the Properties QuickView.

What to do next
Return to Updating a subflow.
