NAME

 version - displays the version information

SYNOPSIS

 version --user admin_user [--passwordfile filename] [--host host_name] [--port port_number] [--secure|-s] [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] [--help] [--verbose=false]

DESCRIPTION

Use the version command to displays the version information. If the command-line cannot communicate with the administration server with the given user/password and host/port, then the command-line will retrieve the Version locally and display a warning message. If the--user option is not entered, the command-line will retrieve the version locally and display a warning message. The warning message will not be displayed if the --terseoption is entered on the command line.

This command is supported in remote mode only.

OPTIONS

-u --user

The authorized domain application server administrative username.

-w --password

The --password option is deprecated. Use --passwordfile instead.

--passwordfile

This option replaces the -- password option. Using the --password option on the command line or through the environment is deprecated. The --passwordfile option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specified format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN prefix followed by the password name in capital letters. For example, to specify the domain application server password, use an entry with the following format: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include MAPPEDPASSWORD, USERPASSWORD, SAVEDMASTERPASSWORD, MQPASSWORD, ALIASPASSWORD, and so on.

-H --host

The machine name where the domain application server is running. The default value is localhost.

-p --port

The port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. The default port number for Platform Edition is 4848. The default port number for Enterprise Edition is 4949.

-s --secure

If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

-t --terse

Indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

-e --echo

Setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

-I --interactive

If set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

-h --help

Displays the help text for the command.

--verbose

By default this flag is set to false. If set to true, the version information is displayed in detail.
