Question
How to tell the version of Informix Products or Libraries Installed
Answer
It may be neccessary to find the version of the Informix product or library that is installed in a particular $INFORMIXDIR directory.
Described are three methods to display version information for database server and client products. Make sure the following environment variables are set:
- INFORMIXDIR
PATH
Method 1
The following table describes the command to be run for a particular product:
Product | Command |
| INFORMIX DYNAMIC SERVER | dbaccess -V |
| INFORMIX STANDARD ENGINE (SE) | dbaccess -V |
| Informix 4GL Compiler Development | c4gl -V or i4gl -V |
| INFORMIX-4GL Rapid Development System | r4gl -V |
| INFORMIX-4GL Interactive Debugger | fgldb -V |
| INFORMIX-SQL, Runtime Facility | isql -V |
| INFORMIX-Client SDK | ifx_getversion clientsdk |
Method 2
To display the version of an application product or a library, issue the ifx_getversion command.
Usage: ifx_getversion [product_name | library_name]
The following table describes a list of products and libraries:
Product/Library | ifx_getversion |
| clientsdk | ifx_getversion clientsdk |
| esql | ifx_getversion esql |
| java | libjavai | ifx_getversion libjava |
| dmi | libdmi | ifx_getversion libdmi |
| c++ | libc++ | ifx_getversion libc++ |
| libcli[.a|.so] | ifx_getversion libcli.so |
| libgls[.a|.so] | ifx_getversion libgls.so |
| libos[.a|.so] | ifx_getversion libos.so |
| libasf[.a|.so] | ifx_getversion libasf.so |
| libsql[.a|.so] | ifx_getversion libsql.so |
| libgen[.a|.so] | ifx_getversion libgen.so |
where:
- libasf are the connectivity libraries.
libgen are the general libraries.
libOS are the OS supporting libraries. These are just there to determine if libraries exist.
example:
- ifx_getversion libcli.so
IBM/Informix-Client SDK Version 3.50.UC3
IBM/Informix ODBC LIBRARY Version 3.50.0000.UC3
ifx_getversion libgls.so
INFORMIX LIBGLS LIBRARY Version 4.50.UC4
ifx_getversion libos.so
IBM/Informix-Client SDK Version 3.50.UC3
IBM/Informix LIBOS LIBRARY Version 3.50.UC3
ifx_getversion libasf.so
IBM/Informix-Client SDK Version 3.50.UC3
IBM/Informix LIBASF LIBRARY Version 3.50.UC3
ifx_getversion libsql.so
IBM/Informix-Client SDK Version 3.50.UC3
IBM/Informix LIBSQL LIBRARY Version 3.50.UC3
ifx_getversion libgen.so
IBM/Informix-Client SDK Version 3.50.UC3
IBM/Informix LIBGEN LIBRARY Version 3.50.UC3
libasf are the connectivitylibraries.
lib gen are the general libraries.
LibOS are the OS supporting libraries. These are just there to determine if customer has libraries
Another method to determine the product versions is to review all the files containing the product versions.
Follow these steps:
1. ls -l $INFORMIXDIR/etc/*cr
2. cat $INFORMIXDIR/etc/*cr
example:
ls -l $INFORMIXDIR/etc/*cr
