Description

Resolution:
Two commands are available to determine the last-installed hotfix version of a TIBCO host or any of its nodes: "describeAppliedPatches" and "describeHost". Use the first command, "describeAppliedPatches" if hotfixes were previously applied to an existing host. Use the second command, "describeHost" if the host is newly created after the hotfix installation. If you are not sure what is installed, run both commands and select the higher hotfix number reported by the two commands.

A hotfix applied to a TIBCO Host is also applied to all its nodes.

1). In the folder <TIBCO_HOME>/amx/3.3/bin, execute:
   ./tibamx_patchmgr describeAppliedPatches -configHomeLocation
   <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME> -instanceName <TH_INSTANCE_FOLDER>

  Example:
  ./tibamx_patchmgr describeAppliedPatches -configHomeLocation
   /opt/tibco/amx/config -instanceName Admin-amxadmin-instanceOne

2). In the folder <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>/tibcohost/<TH_INSTANCE_FOLDER>/host/bin, execute:
   ./tibcohost describeHost


The property "Host platform version" reflects the version that includes the hotfix. For example "3.3.0.HF13" indicates Hotfix 013 was applied to this host. Substitute <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME> with the configuration home folder path. Substitute <TH_INSTANCE_FOLDER> with the name of the folder under <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>/tibcohost/ that contains data for your TIBCO host instance.
