Determine the Apache version used by NetWorker through the following process:

Linux: 

1. Ensure JAVA_HOME environment variable is set: echo $JAVA_HOME
2. If nothing is returned, create the environment variable: export JAVA_HOME=/opt/nre/java/latest/
3. Run: /opt/nsr/authc-server/tomcat/bin/version.sh
nve:~ # /opt/nsr/authc-server/tomcat/bin/version.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/nsr/authc-server/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/nsr/authc-server/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/nsr/authc-server/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0_431-oracle-x64
Using CLASSPATH:       /opt/nsr/authc-server/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/nsr/authc-server/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Using CATALINA_OPTS:

Create java home variable

3. If the variable was newly created, you must open a new command prompt to pick up the variable.

4. Use the cd command to navigate to your NetWorker install folder's ..\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\bin directory. For example: cd "C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\bin"

5. Run: version.bat

C:\Users\Administrator.NETWORKER>cd C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\bin\

C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\bin>version.bat
Using CATALINA_BASE:   "C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_HOME:   "C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\temp"
Using JRE_HOME:        "C:\Program Files\NRE\java\jre1.8.0_431"
Using CLASSPATH:       "C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
