Issue/Introduction

How can I find which version of CAPKI is actually installed on XCOM for Windows, Unix or Linux?

Environment

Release: 11.6 64-bit
Component: XCOM Data Transport for UNIX, Linux, Windows

Resolution

1. On Windows, the CAPKI version is stored in the registry under the key:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Shared\CAPKI5:
For example there will be Value Names:
InstallDir = C:\Program Files\CA\SC\CAPKI
Version: 5.2.5

NOTE:  XCOM for Windows 11.6 SP03 64bit no longer uses CAPKI and has its own OpenSSL library files libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll.


2. On UNIX/Linux platforms, the CAPKI version can be found in file ".installdb" located under the $CASHCOMP/CAPKI directory and the xcom.glb CAPKIHOME parameter shows the exact location.
Examples:
Linux r11.6 SP01 64-bit (xcom.glb shows "CAPKIHOME=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/CAPKI/CAPKI5/Linux/amd64/64/lib"):
# cat $CASHCOMP/CAPKI/CAPKI5/Linux/amd64/64/.installdb

# cat $CASHCOMP/CAPKI/AIX/powerpc/xlc64/.installdb
CurrentVersion 4.3.7

AIX r11.6 SP01 64bit (xcom.glb shows "CAPKIHOME=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/CAPKI/CAPKI5/AIX/powerpc/xlc64/lib"):
