Sometimes it is necessary to check which is the version of the Datacom JDBC driver (cadcjdbc.jar) that is installed on a client box. This task can be accomplished by writing a Java application, but the quickest way is reading the Manifest file using WINZIP (on Windows) or unzip command (Linux).
Release: 15.0.
Component: Datacom Server.
On a Windows box:
1 - Open cadcjdbc.jar using WINZIP
2 - Double click on the META-INF directory
3 - Right click on MANIFEST.MF file and choose “View File with Internal Viewer”
4 - On the file, read the release and the version of the JDBC driver (15.1.18 in this case)
On a Linux box, the following command can be used:
unzip -p cadcjdbc.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
which returns the version (15.0.0.6 in this case) and the list of applied solutions:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
