Perform the following steps to query the server version
information:
Procedure
- Identify the server and assign it to the server variable.
Using Jacl:
set server [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=Server,name=server1,node=mynode,*]
Using Jython:
server = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=Server,name=server1,node=mynode,*')
print server
Example output:
WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=server1,mbeanIdentifier=server.xml#Server_1,
type=Server,node=mynode,process=server1,processType=ManagedProcess

is stored in the serverVersion attribute. The getAttribute command
returns the attribute value of a single attribute, passing in the
attribute name.

$AdminControl getAttribute $server serverVersion
Using Jython:
print AdminControl.getAttribute(server, 'serverVersion')
