C-ISAM version and serial number -- Determining what they are for an existing C-ISAM installation.

Problem(Abstract)

Obtaining C-ISAM version information--How to determine what version of CISAM you have installed and what serial number was used to install it.

Resolving the problem

In order to determine what version of IBM Informix C-ISAM is installed on your system, run thedblog command that came with C-ISAM and give it a single option of -V. This will print out the product version as well as the serial number that was used to install the product.

Note: For historical reasons the -V option reports the product name as INFORMIX-SQL rather than C-ISAM.

The dblog program will be located in either the directory in which you installed C-ISAM or in a bindirectory inside that directory.

Example:

In this example C-ISAM version 7.25.UC1 was installed in the directory/product/cisam725uc1 using a serial number of ACN#J266163.

$ /product/cisam725uc1/bin/dblog -V
INFORMIX-SQL Version 7.25.UC1
Software Serial Number ACN#J266163

Example:

In this example C-ISAM version 5.10.UD4 was installed in the directory/product/cisam510ud4 using a serial number of ACN#J266163.

$ /product/cisam510ud4/dblog -V
INFORMIX-SQL Version 5.10.UD4  
Software Serial Number ACN#J266163
