IBM WebSphere - List the available versions of Java using the managesdk -listAvailable command

Updated:   |  IBM WebSphere articles

If you are not familiar with how WebSphere integrates with Java, refer to Getting Started with Java on WebSphere.

The managesdk.bat (Windows) or managesdk.sh (Linux) command with the -listAvailable option will list the available versions of Java SDK that are installed on the server. In this example, there are two versions of Java SDK on the server, 1.7_64 and 1.8_64.

AVOID TROUBLE

If you are prompted for a username and password, refer to username password and the soap.client.props sas.client.props ipc.client.props files.

~]# ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/bin/managesdk.sh -listAvailable
CWSDK1003I: Available SDKs :
CWSDK1005I: SDK name: 1.7_64
CWSDK1005I: SDK name: 1.8_64
CWSDK1001I: Successfully performed the requested managesdk task.

 

The -verbose flag should return something like this. This information is stored in the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/your_profile/config/cells/your_cell/nodes/your_node/node-metadata.properties file and the base installation directory for Java (com.ibm.websphere.sdk.location.<version>) stored in the JAVA_LOCATION_<version> environment variable which is in the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/your_profile/config/cells/your_cell/nodes/your_node/variables.xml file.
