Product version information

The WebSphere® Application Server product contains structural differences from previous versions.

Run the historyInfo command to create a report about installed maintenance packages. The historyInfo command creates a report on the console.

Time-stamped, detailed logs record each update process in the properties/version/logs/update directory of the app_server_root.

This topic includes the following sections:

Product information files

XML files in the properties/version directory that store version information:
WAS.product
One file whose existence indicates the particular WebSphere Application Server product that is installed. The type of product installed is indicated by the <id> tag. Data in the file indicates the version, build date, and build level.

Reports

WebSphere Application Server provides the ability to generate Version reports and History reports from the data in the files. The following report-generation scripts are available in the app_server_root/bin directory.

Logs and backup directories locations

WebSphere Application Server products use two other directories when performing update operations, for logging and backups:
app_server_root /logs/update
Logs directory for product updates
app_server_root/properties/patches/backup
Backup directory for product updates

WebSphere Application Server products back up components before applying interim fixes.
