Getting the software version of a server

Get the software version of an IBM Content Search Services server by viewing the build_info.properties file or by using the command-line administration tool.

Procedure

To get the software version of a server by viewing the build_info.properties file:

Navigate to the server-home/config directory, open the build_info.properties file, and read the version and build information of the server.
For example, the following text indicates server version 5.6.0.0 and build 290, fix pack 1:
```
build.version = 5.6.0.0
build.number = 290.FP1
```

To get the software version of a server by using the administration tool:

Use the following command-line syntax to run the tool:
```
	adminTool version -configPath path
```
The version is displayed in the following format:
```
	version.release.modification.fixpack-protocol-build
```
For example, 5.6.0.0-1.1-290 indicates the server version 5.6.0, protocol 1.1, build 290.

The format has following elements:

version.release.modification.fixpack

The standard version numbering convention used by IBM products.

protocol

The protocol that is used to serialize request arguments and data between the server and client.

build

The build number of the server.
