Linux Command for quick check of WinCC OA version and patch number installed

[sblancha]

Hello,
How to check the patch version of WinCC OA on Linux without starting gedi?
The usual --version does not work.
Cheers,
Sebastien

Hello,

A very basic check your be the following:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep WinCC

Will output every package with the name WinCC in it, like: WinCC_OA_3.15-base-rhel-0-8.x86_64

Thanks, exactly what I need.
Cheers,

If the command line contains 3.15 then I already know what version I am running.
The command works too if I just enter
WCCOAui -version
if my PATH environment variable is set properly. Then I get this output (we are still using 3.14 as you can see)

Theoretically I could have both 3.14 and 3.15 installed and the answer that I get would depend on how PATH is set.

On my notebook I have both 3.14 and 31.5 installed (in different directories than the recommended defaults)
The command
C:\\home\\pvss\\3.14\\bin\\WCCOAui -version

but in both cases I see no information about the patch levels, which was actually a part of the original request.

In 3.14 I know that I have patch 8 installed because I see this file:
C:\\home\\pvss\\3.14\\ReadmeP008.txt

Even this control scripts
main() { DebugN(VERSION_DISP); }
only returns
["3.14"]
but no patch number, too bad.
(WinCC Help says that an installed service pack number would also be returned)
See also the help on the environment variables VERSION and VERSION_NUMERIC for other variations.

Since 3.15 it includes the Patch.

The 3.15 version on my notebook was a beta version. That is probably why I wasn't seeing the patch level there.
