Indication of 8.4 to 8.5

[jsquizz]

It has been a while since I've seen this but I am curious. Is this following statement accurate? Was the CMOD version / OS / DB added in 8.5 or a patch of 8.5?

V8.5.0.6-
arsload: Processing file >/arsacif/acif1/File.ARD<
arsload: Load Version <8.5.0.6> Operating System <AIX> <5.3>
arsload: Server Version <8.5.0.6> Operating System <AIX> <5.3> Database <DB2> <09.07.0005>

V8.4 (Or Older..)
arsload: Processing file >/arsacif/acif1/File.ARD<

Yeah, I deserve the blame for that.  It was a problem at a customer site that got so bad that it ended up getting a page about ulimits dedicated to it in the ODnews CMOD newsletter.  Q2 2014 I think.

yeah, I remember seeing that.

When was CMOD version added? 8.5.0.X?

[Justin Derrick]

Yeah, I'd have to say right around FixPack 6...  It fits the timeframe that I remember.

Gotcha. But.

Theres no way of saying it was from lets say..my most common version ive dealt with 8.4.0.3 to 8.5 as the base upgrade prior to installing the fixpacks.

Most customers I have worked with have done 8.5 and then immediately FP6.

I would like to add that between processing the two files, there is a 186 message saying ARSSOCKD was started.

Random thought-

Is there a database command that can be ran to see when 7.1, 8.4, etc..were upgraded to 8.5?

[Ed_Arnold]

That information was added in the base 8.5.0.0 of the product.

Thanks Ed! So that is a great indication that the upgrade was indeed from 8.4 to 8.5!

You Rock!
