Navigate to the ClearQuest profile directory (either the profile you specified when installing ClearQuest, or <SDLC-home>/ClearQuest/cqweb/cqwebprofile), then execute the script: bin/versionInfo.sh (UNIX) or bin\versionInfo.bat (Windows). The output includes a section “IBM WebSphere Application Server”. Make note of the version listed in this section.
2. Review the following WAS security bulletin:
