Database Agent Version String (All Platforms)

OpenLink's database agents return version strings. These version strings identify the agents' creation date and build. They also designate the platform for which an agent was compiled. To produce a version string, take the following action:

1. Open a DOS box or Unix terminal.

2. cd into the /bin sub-directory of your OpenLink server components installation.

3. Identify your database agent. Agent names end in _sv or _mv. They begin with prefixes which suggest the database to which they connect. For example:

inf73_mv            - Informix 7.3 Database Agent
ora80_mv.exe   - Oracle 8.0.x Database Agent
pro83b_sv          - Progress 83B Database Agent

4. Run the version string command. For example:

<database agent name> -?   - Basic syntax
  ./inf73_mv -?                       - Unix-based Informix 7.3 agent string
 ora80_mv.exe -?                  - Windows-based Oracle 8.0.x agent string

5. Record the version, release, cvsid, date, and platform of compilation.

6. Forward the information to OpenLink Product Support.
