Re: How to determine whether ACS Open Source packages are on a partition

All -

Back in the "olden days", open source packages were delivered in licensed
program 5733-OPS and one could check for the existence of this licensed
program to determine whether or not a partition had open source packages on
it.

Today, since open source packages are delivered via ACS, how can we check
for the existence of open source packages on a partition via green screen?

I would not say that they are delivered via iACS. I would say that iACS is a user interface to the delivery with yum. iACS just runs yum command and displays the output for you.

So, via green screen, through a PASE or QSH session you can use yum your self. You just have to make sure to have /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin in your path, or use it to qualify yum. Example through QSH.


/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/yum list

Is there a service that would perform this check?
