Platform Information
The platform information methods provide a way for your Broker clients to determine the version of the webMethods Broker Java API which they are using as well as the operating system and hardware platform on which they are executing.
Platform information is stored in the form of key-value pairs. The following keys are registered by the webMethods Broker Java API and cannot be changed. You can, however, add your own platform keys.
