The genVersionReport command uses the versionInfo command to generate the versionReport.html report file in the current working directory, which is usually the bin directory. The report includes a list of installed fix packs and interim fixes.
The versionInfo tool displays important data about the product, such as the build version and build date. This tool is particularly useful when working with support personnel to determine the cause of any problem.
Product version reports:
app_server_root/bin/genVersionReport
app_server_root/bin/genVersionReport.sh
app_server_root\bin\genVersionReport.bat
The command syntax is:
genVersionReport
genVersionReport.sh
genVersionReport.bat
Issue the command from the bin directory of the app_server_root directory.
The versionInfo command reports the following information:
This information and the other information descriptions are hierarchal for each installed product, installed fix packs and interim fixes, and included APARs.
Displays the list of APARs fixed by this fix pack or interim fix.
When the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product has no interim fixes or fix packs applied, the genVersionReport script creates the following information in the versionReport.html report file.
