2.7 Determining the Product Version

PlateSpin Orchestrate is a product made up of many components, which you choose whether to install when you first install the product. If you are new to PlateSpin Orchestrate, if you need to determine component compatibility, or if you need to confer with Novell Support, it is useful to know how to obtain the version number of the different components.

One way to determine which version of the PlateSpin Orchestrate RPM packages you have installed is to use the following command on the machine where an PlateSpin Orchestrate component is installed:

rpm -qa | grep novell

The table below provides additional methods you can use to determine the version number for PlateSpin Orchestrate components.
