Summary for Patch 440 (Verified)

This update fixes and error when parsing hostnames from FLEXlm
debug log when generating the License Events data type. Hostnames
on the form

  HostA  [HostA1123]

will now correctly be parsed just as "HostA".

When events occured exactly at the same time in FLEXlm debug
log file and in the accompanying flexpoller file, a wrong
test (<= instead of <) would make filtrator ignore the 
event from the FLEXlm debug log file.

This error would be very rare in real data and was detected
in manually constructed data when testing other issues.

Only when using FLEXlm license data collection does the
installation "force" users to define product names. When installing
e.g IBM LUM and Elan/Abaqus the default name is most likely 
used (i.e IBM_LUM and ABAQUS). This is not a problem if there
are never any overlapping features on the licenses servers, but
this is often not the case.

This update allows filtrator to automatically rename the default
product names when they are encountered, from IBM_LUM to 
IBM_LUM-<host>, from ABAQUS to ABAQUS-<host> and from ClearCase
to ClearCase-<host>, to avoid trying to wrongly merge data from
different license servers.

To activate this edit

  /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf

and in object

  filtrator.corrections

set

  default-product-adjustment(Bool)="true"{}

Please note that if there are redundant klients for e.g IBM_LUM
you can not use this options without having configured the LUM
product names to a shared name different from the default to get
the correct behaviour.

This patch adds functionallity that allows processing of FLEXlm
debug log data with check out and in lasting 0 seconds to be
accounted with a 1 second duration.

After the patch is installed modify

  /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf

and add line

  flexlog-count-zero-as-one(Bool)="true"{}

in object

  filtrator.corrections
