I know I can check the Pentaho version by opening the spoon.sh in vi mode, but the Pentaho that is installed in production environment doesn't have that information in it. Probably some employee before me has edited it. So is there any other way that I can know the version of the Pentaho that is being used on the server?

  • you can also check the version of the kettle-core jar in the lib folder. Bit hacky that though :) – Codek Oct 18 '16 at 14:14

Go to the command line and type this command to see the version of kettle. Now your production server may a Linux box or a Windows box. Depending on the type of the platform, use the command below:

Linux:

./kitchen.sh -version

Windows: 

Kitchen.bat -version

To check the version of the bi-server, just go to the Pentaho User Console (PUC). Help --> About.

    Dont forget "./" if it is Linux based server. ./kitchen.sh -version – Nikhil Oct 17 '16 at 18:08
  • I just ran it and here's the output: "[pentahouser@pentaho-server.LEBANON data-integration]$ ./kitchen.sh -version /home/pentaho/pentaho/design-tools/data-integration DEBUG: Using PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME DEBUG: _PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default DEBUG: _PENTAHO_JAVA=/usr/java/default/bin/java DEBUG: PENTAHO_INSTALLED_LICENSE_PATH=/home/pentaho/.pentaho/.insta‌​lledLicenses.xml 2016/10/17 14:10:28 - Kitchen - Kettle version 5.4.0.6-154, build 1, build date : 2015-11-09 08.54.47" – Nikhil Oct 17 '16 at 18:19
  • It is Linux based server and my permission is denied – Ujjwal Chowdary Oct 17 '16 at 18:25
  • [root@chq02-dwapp01-d data-integration]# ./kitchen.sh -version -bash: ./kitchen.sh: Permission denied – Ujjwal Chowdary Oct 17 '16 at 18:26
  • That's the administration issue. Contact your system administrator to grant you the permission. But, the command I gave you, works perfectly. :) – Nikhil Oct 17 '16 at 18:28

    or just enter $KETTLE_HOME/lib/ and look onto kettle-core-$VERSION_NUMBER____$BUILD_NUMBER.jar – simar Oct 18 '16 at 07:58

    @Nikhil: It's actually ./kitchen.sh. k is in the small case. – Hussain K Dec 20 '16 at 10:03

I was able to find out the version by logging into the Pentaho User Console. Then go to Help and click on About. There i can see the version number being used. This gives the version number for the Pentaho Bi Server.

For the Development tool. I have checked the logs for errors and got the version number there.
