04-IBM WAS How to check IBM Websphere Application Server version Architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)

In this document I tried to write as less as possible English and concentrated to include only Information, ‘How to’, commands and its output. I suggest using Google do read theory from many sites & pdf books.

I am a doer who always believe in learning & sharing, I am not topic expert but tried to cover my knowledge in this document so that person like me can use this document and understand the topic. I am not saying this doc is 100% error proof. If you find any error or want to share some thing to add or feedback, please write to Srikant.Ande@Gmail.com

1.     How to check IBM WAS version architecture

To check WAS version is very simple, you need to run <Product Directory>/bin/versionInfo.sh which will give information on WAS version however in Linux OS most of time in many version it will not show the bit or architecture information.

However it is very simple & works on thumb rule, get java bit information from was installation. Java bit will be WAS bit.

To get java bit you need to get the java version details & need to use this doc or IBM site to search the version details

First get the SDK(java) version shipped with WAS.

<Product Directory>/java/bin/java -fullversion or <Product Directory>/java/bin/java -version

$/opt/WebSphere61/DeploymentManager/java/bin/java -fullversion

java full version "J2RE 1.5.0 IBM Linux build pxa64devifx-20090225 (SR9-0 +IZ44410+IZ44495)"

$

From command ouput take “pxa64devifx-20090225” & search in site http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27005002

This will give the SDK bit which mean it is WAS bit too.  In this case our SDK & WAS is 64 bit.
