Thread: Differentiate WAS Base edition and ND

  1. Differentiate WAS Base edition and ND

    Hello,

    We have websphere application server base and ND editions on our environment. We use a proprietary software called hpscan from Hp which use to scan a server for the presence of websphere instance running on the server. It scans wasservice.exe to identify the WAS and alert us for license expiration. In our environment, some boxes are having both versions of websphere (base and ND)and all the time the software detects as base editions for ND also. Some boxes are running websphere ver 5 and 6 on the same box.

    I would like to know is there an easier way to differentiate websphere base and ND. I believe, binaries for both versions are same. I am looking a file which can differentiate these two versions perferably an exe file. Any suggestions or recommendations are highly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Sivakumar

    Hi,

    the 'versioninfo' would help:

    Sample output:
    For Base:

    Didn't know there was a time-based license outside the trial.

    Hi Rita,

    Thanks for your reply. I agree that versionInfo will display the websphere application server version and its details. My Scan software will not run the file and read the output to identify the version of WAS. I am looking for a specific file which would differentiate BASE and ND edition.

    Thanks
    Siva
