Using the JADE Version Information Utility

The jverinfo JADE Version Information utility enables you to check the hot fixes that are applied to your JADE system and to optionally retrieve the version of user data map files. For more details, see the following subsections.

The jverinfo program outputs the following version information to a file so that you can view it on your workstation monitor, print it out, or send it to JADE Support if requested to do so.

The JADE Version Information utility program is not dependent on any other JADE libraries. You can therefore use one version of the jverinfo program to report on any release, whether it is a Unicode or an ANSI build.

To run the jverinfo program under a Windows operating system:

  1. Copy the jverinfo.exe program to the JADE binary directory from which you want it run.

    Alternatively, you can create a shortcut on your desktop or in the appropriate Start folder.

  2. Execute the program to run it.

By default, the program writes its output to a file called versioninfo.txt, which is located in the working directory.

To automate the program, you can optionally specify the binary directory, user data map file directory (which is usually the system directory), system file directory, and the output file name, in the following format.

jverinfo [binpath=binary-directory-name] [binmask=binary-file-type] 
         [datpath=user-data-directory] [datmask=user-data‑file‑type] 
         [out=output-file-name|stdout] [syspath=system-file-directory] 
         [sysmask=system‑file‑type] [noThinClients] [noExtraDirs]|
         [extraDirs=[path][directory-name]]

The following is an example of the command line set up to run the program.

c:\jade\bin\jverinfo binpath=c:\jade\production_bin datpath=c:\jade\system out=c:\jade\prodver.txt noExtraDirs

The jverinfo command line options are case-insensitive.

You can use the optional:
