APPCCONTROL VERSION

Description

The APPCCONTROL VERSION command is used to obtain the versions of LU 6.2 product modules that are currently installed on the system. The user will be informed if module versions do not match or if modules are missing, which indicates that the subsystem has been installed incorrectly.

Issue this command after installing the LU 6.2 software to determine whether you have a valid software installation and whether the software module versions match.

Example

In this example, the APPC subsystem is serving LU 6.2 API/XL.

APPC Subsystem 32098-20057    overall version = B.00.00

Each version ID number includes a version, update, and fix level (V.uu.ff) as well as an internal fix level. For example, where RM.APPC.SYS is listed above, its version ID number is B0000206. The "B" is the version level, the next two digits (00) represent the update level, and the following digits (00) represent the fix level. The remaining digits (206) show the internal fix level, which is used only within Hewlett-Packard.

Each software module within a subsystem, such as a program file or SL procedure, has its own version ID number. If the version, update, and fix levels of these modules do not match, the subsystem will not work correctly.

Notice that the first five characters of the version for each module listed in this group are B0000. This means that all the software modules in the subsystem match. The internal fix level, represented by the last three digits, does not need to match between modules for the software to be compatible. Because the module version ID numbers match, NMMAINT considers the overall subsystem version number to be B.00.00.
