Viewing version and keyword information for deployable objects

This topic contains information about how to view the version and keyword information of deployable objects.

Displaying object version in the bar file editor

A column in the bar editor called Version displays the version tag for all objects that have a defined version. These are:
  • .cmf files

You cannot edit the Version column.

You can use the mqsireadbar command to list the keywords defined for each deployable file within a deployable archive file.

Displaying version, deploy time, and keywords of deployed objects

The Eclipse Properties View displays, for any deployed object:
  • Version
  • Deploy Time
  • All defined keywords
For example, if you deploy a message flow with these literal strings:
  • $MQSI_VERSION=v1.0 MQSI$
  • $MQSI Author=fred MQSI$
  • $MQSI Subflow 1 Version=v1.3.2 MQSI$
then the Properties View displays:
Deployment Time Date and time of deployment
Modification Time Date and time of modification
Version v1.0
Author fred
Subflow 1 Version v1.3.2

You are given a reason if the keyword information is not available. For example, if keyword resolution has not been enabled at deploy time, the Properties View displays the message Deployed with keyword search disabled. Also, if you deploy to a Configuration Manager that is an earlier version than Version 6.0, the properties view displays Keywords not available on this Configuration Manager.
