DX NetOps

I'm trying to automate installations and upgrades of a few CA Products (Spectrum and CAPC). I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way checking the current installed version from the server where the product is installed. 

Any suggestions of commands that I can execute from the shell or files that I can read to figure out the installed version?

CA really should simplify that adding a --version to the products.

Hello Renato,

please post an idea for adding the --version switch across the board for consistency.

and in the meantime:

for Spectrum:

first 2 numbers are the version, 3rd is the sp level, and 4th is the patch,

the last number is just a build.

verify version in

<specroot>\install-tools\.history

and for CAPM:

here is a techdoc:

and some additional alternatives:

PC: Help->About option from top right corner of UI

DA/DC: .history file in InstallLogs directory

DR: Simply launch the adminTools UI and note the version in the top title bar

please let me know if this answers your questions.

thanks,

Rich Vernon
