Hi ,
I do find the version this way too. Say regedit on command promt and you get Registry Editor-->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->SOFTWARE-->IBM-->WebSphereMQIntegrator-->CurrentVersion.
There you can find the version and CSD level where you are in.
I am at CSD 4 and got this message when I run mqsiservice -v
BIPv500 en US
ucnv Console CCSID 437 dft ucnv CCSID 5348
OS cp1252 ICUW ibm-5348_P100-1997 ICUA ibm-5348_P100-1997
BIP8996I: Version: 500

Hi ramukurra,
thanks for the answer,but my question is whether i'm on the CSD level 3 or 4..?The answer is that they never installed any CSD on the Box.
seeing L30603 i thought there might be CSD 3 installed.
Thanks |

IBM on occasion will "refresh" distribution packs/media, so even if you never apply a Fix Pack, you might have installed a version that had for instance FP2 applied before you even started.

Hi,
Unfortunately the mqsiservice command cannot be used to show you what Fixpack/CSD level you have installed. The output from mqsiservice is mainly used by service teams, and this shows the level of code that the installation is running from. From this information the FP/CSD can be deduced.
From a user perspective, it is better to examine the filesets that have been installed. As stated in a previous update, on Windows information can be obtained by looking at the registry. On AIX, the lslpp -l command can be used and if grep'd with the mqsi fileset name (mqsi for V5 and wmqi for V2.1) this will show the level of filesets installed. On Solaris, the pkginfo -l command can be used naming specific filesets such as mqsiIb (for intergrator broker) or mqsiEv (for Event broker) etc. On Linux, the rpm -qa command can be grep'd with mqsi to show the level of filesets installed.
The output should show a number such as 5.0.1.N where N shows the Fixpack level you have installed. It should be noted that you are looking for the highest number here because some of the filesets may shows 5.0.0.0 which simply means they have not been updated since the original install because they didnt need to be.
The previous update was correct in that IBM do issue a refresh level of the product which is automatically at a fix pack. For V5 this was done at FP02, but if you have the refresh level, then you will see 5.0.1.2. You will also see 5.0.1.2 if you have installed the GA product and then installed FP02. This is because these are considered the same by IBM.
The same approach can be used for the V2.1 product. However, the following two points should be noted :
1) the filesets are prefixed with wmqi not mqsi.
2) When you see 2.1.0.N then you are actually at N-1 CSD not N.
So for example if you see 2.1.0.9, then you are actually at CSD08. This is because the first CSD for V2.1 was CSD00 and the fileset number for this was 2.1.0.1.
Hope this helps.

Assuming that the rpm database was correctly updated... which I have seen fail with WBIMB installs before.. 
But I'm sure that was a local issue, and not an issue with the installer...

Hi,
Yes, ... good point, sometime the rpm database is not update on Linux. On some occasions this has been fixed by ensuring that the rpm-devel-version and rpm-build-version filesets are installed (Where version is the version number of rpm that is installed). The WBI-MB installer needs these to be present to update the RPM database.
However, it should also be noted that there is a defect in Version 4.53 of InstallShield multiplatform, which is the version that WBI-MB V5 uses.
This does not affect the operatibility of the broker, and the Fixpack will install, it just means that rpm will not show the correct Fixpack level in some cases. As a work around to this, the vfd.properties file can be checked instead.

On Windows platform, you can also look at memo.ptf file. IT will say something like ..

This memo.ptf file corresponds to fix pack 04 which is defined ...
