genVersionReport command

The genVersionReport.sh command uses the versionInfo.sh command to generate the versionReport.html report file in the current working directory, which is usually the bin directory. The report includes a list of installed fix packs and interim fixes.

test317:~ # cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/
test317:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin # ./genVersionReport.sh

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4625 May 25 06:46 versionReport.html
test317:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin #

The versionInfo.sh command reports the following information:

Report date and time - The date and time that the report was generated. The timestamp is formatted according to the current locale.
Installation information:
Product Directory, Version Directory, DTD Directory, Log Directory.
