Verifying executable file versions

  1. Use the VPROC command to display the version of specified executables installed on your system.

  2. Verify that the displayed version information is correct for the specified executable.

    To display the version information about executable files in the OSS environment, enter:

    vproc executable-file-name

    To display version information about executable files in the Guardian environment, enter:

    vproc executable-file-name

    For example, to find the version of MXCMP installed, at a TACL prompt, enter:

    $SYSTEM SYSTEM 4> vproc mxcmp

    Information similar to the following will be displayed:

        TNS/X Native Mode:  runnable file
    

    To ensure that the displayed version information for an executable is correct for the SUT, check the version procedure text. For example, in this VPROC display for MXCMP, the “L34” in S0200L34 and T1050L34 is a reliable indicator that the correct version of MXCMP for SQL/MX Release 3.5 is installed.

    To find the version of SqlMxHealthCheck installed, at a TACL prompt, enter:

    OSS> /usr/tandem/sqlmx/bin/SqlMxHealthCheck -version
