Issue/Introduction

Sometimes it is necessary to check which is the version of the CA Datacom JDBC driver (cadcjdbc.jar) that is intalled 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).

Environment

Release: 15.0
Component: DBSRV 

Resolution

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, you can read the release and the version of the JDBC driver (14.0.0.27 in this case) 

On 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:
