How to check db2 version

Question

How to check db2 version on Z/OS using only SQL commands?

Thanks, Melita

Answer 1

To find out the fixpak information using command prompt: db2level

To find out the version and license information using command prompt: db2licm -l

C:\Users\Administrator>db2level
DB21085I  This instance or install (instance name, where applicable: "DB2")
uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL10051" with level identifier
"0602010E".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v10.5.100.63", "s130816", "IP23521", and Fix Pack

"1".
Product is installed at "C:\SQLLIB" with DB2 Copy Name "DB2COPY1".


C:\Users\Administrator>db2licm -l
Product name:                     "IBM Data Server Client"
Product identifier:               "db2client"
Version information:              "10.5"

Answer 2

In AIX you can try:

db2level

Example output:

db2level
DB21085I  This instance or install (instance name, where applicable:
"db2inst1") uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL09077" with level
identifier "08080107".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v9.7.0.7", "s121002", "IP23367", and Fix Pack
"7".
Product is installed at "/db2_09_07".

Answer 3

You can try the following query:

SELECT service_level, fixpack_num FROM TABLE
  (sysproc.env_get_inst_info())
  as INSTANCEINFO

It works on LUW, so I can't guarantee that it'll work on z/OS, but it's worth a shot.

Answer 4

I used

SELECT * FROM TABLE(SYSPROC.ENV_GET_INST_INFO()); 

from tyranitar and that worked on Z/OS. Here's what I got:

SERVICE_LEVEL
DB2 v9.7.0.6

I'd vote up if I could! Thanks!!

Answer 5

SELECT GETVARIABLE('SYSIBM.VERSION') FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1

Answer 6

Try the first or the second:

SELECT * FROM TABLE(SYSPROC.ENV_GET_INST_INFO());
SELECT * FROM TABLE(SYSPROC.ENV_GET_PROD_INFO());
SELECT * FROM TABLE(SYSPROC.ENV_GET_SYS_INFO());
