Each component of the OpenAccess SDK can provide version information such as the release date and version. For the following components, you can use the whatmain tool, shipped with the OpenAccess SDK, to get the version information:
• ODBC Client
• ADO Client
• OpenAccess SDK Server
Note: The whatmain tool is not supported for getting version information for the JDBC or ADO.NET Clients.
The whatmain tool resides in the server_installdir/bin directory (on Windows) and the client_installdir/tools directory (On UNIX/Linux), where server_installdir is the OpenAccess SDK Server installation directory and client_installdir is the OpenAccess SDK Client installation directory.
The whatmain tool has the following syntax:
whatmain [option] file...

• -s stops after finding the first occurrence of patt in each file.
• -p<patt>, -p'<patt>', or -p"<patt>" specifies an alternate pattern.
