Summary for Patch 370 (Verified)

This patch installs updated binaries for FLEXlm debug log
data collection that correctly handles include/exclude of
product and features using the

  /var/opt/openit/etc/license.exclude

configuration file. This is the same exlcude file that is
used by the licpoll program.

This pach fixes a bug when parsing 2 digit year identification
in old FLEXlm debug log files (FLEXlm v4 and v5).

This patch includes the lastest version of the flexlogcollector and
flexpoller programs. It fixes a bug in flexpoller that resulted
in crash for some lmstat input files. The flexlogcollector
has been updated with a new configuration parameter that allows
monitoring of FLEXlm debug log files to be done on a host in
a different time zone than where the files is written. 

For each monitored log file an individual timezone object can be
set, e.g

  sources()=""
  {
     Product()=""
     {
       product-name(String)="product"{}
       debug-file(FileName)="/prog/product/log/debug.log"{}
       timezone(TimeSpan)="P2H"{}
     }
     ...
  }
 
NB! Only specify timezone for products that do not orginate
in the same timezone as the collection host

Fix problem when reading RESERVATION lines in lmstat output.
Previous version of flexpoller would crash on such input
lines.

This patch replaces the intra process locking mechanism
with thread mutex's instead of semaphores for the
flexlogcollector and flexpoller binaries.

Updates Liencse client to include the latest updates and fixes
to the collection of FLEXlm debug log data.

NB! Please note that the Open iT server need to have patch 278
    installed.

More FLEXlm debug lines that needs to be ignored:

  20:28:28 (lmgrd) Message volume in last 6 hours:
  20:28:28 (lmgrd)        1337 max msgs per minute, 26281 total msgs

Lines with incomplete timestamp, e.g like

    :39:08 (lmgrd) Retrying socket bind (address in use: port 27182)

is also ignored.

Some lines in the FLEXlm debug lines have the wrong time stamp.
This patch makes the flexlogcollector pass these lines without
reading their content.
