How to determine Archestra/SQL versions by cab or aaPKG files

Determining Archestra Version from .cab or .aaPKG files

At the root of the .cab file or. aaPKG file you'll find a __GalaxyInfo.txt file. To get this file, rename the .cab or .aaPKG to a .zip file and then open it. Open the __GalaxyInfo.txt fle in a text editor and find a line like: CdiVersion = "3388.0127.0126.0006" - this number depends on the version of the development environment in which it was last opened.

To verify the version of Archestra, under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Framework\Bin open the properties of the WWCdi.dll file and compare with the version numbers above.

Determining SQL Version from .cab files

In the Database folder of the .cab file you'll find a database.backup file. To get this file, rename the .cab file to a .zip file and then open it. Extract the database.backup file from the zip file and place it somewhere on your computer.

Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and get the header information from the backup file with the following command substituting the file path as appropriate:

RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = 'C:\database.backup'
GO

This will return multiple columns but the 3 columns you need to look at and compare to the following list are:

  • SoftwareVersionMajor
  • SoftwareVersionMinor
  • SoftwareVersionBuild
