How can we check the version of our current installation of API Developer Portal 5.1

    Hi,

    After performing an upgrade of the
     CA API Developer Portal from 5.0 to 5.1 the user may notice that the name of the /opt/apim-portal-#.#.#.#.-Final does not reflect the newly upgraded version; rather, it still shows the older version. Anyway, the upgrade proceeded successfully but the folder name is not changed, by design.

    My question here is do we have any commands to check the version of our current installation of API Developer Portal 5.1

    Hi Idaya:

    There are a few places you can check:

    • If you use Docker version on released OVA you can login and check the version with "docker ps" command to see what the stack is actually running for each container and "docker images" to see what Docker has in the repository of images to run. 
    • In the release folder you can see a .manifest file that indicates what the stack will start on deployment.  This folder name is not critical and you should be able to change it because the portal.sh script to start does not depend on it.  Only caution is to check if you have any custom scripts or configuration references the folder path (e.g. certificate locations).  I prefer to create a folder name more general so not tied to a version number.
    • When you login there will be a version number (e.g. 5.1.2) at the bottom unless it has been disabled in UI branding options.
