Patch 915 — Fix for License Analyzer client configuration
This patch contains fix for clients that cannot read parameters LICPOLL_SEND_INTERVAL and
LICPOLL_SEND_OFFSET.

-- To use, modify /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg by adding the lines:
LICPOLL_SEND_INTERVAL <interval_value> 
LICPOLL_SEND_OFFSET <offset_value>
Patch 881 — Linux sar with support for rq-size and iowait%
Adds use of sar -q to get "rq-size" (Run queue size) on Linux.

Adds "Wait IO %" on Linux.

Both are measurements.

Fixes a bug in parsing that caused the time stamp of the sar logs to be delayed
by one sar interval.
Patch 797 — Error handling for pacct, support for sar version 9
pacct_to_psm is now allowed to complete processing of a pacct file that contains more faulty
records. Earlier, the process would be aborted after a certain number of such records. The error
checking can be turned on / off by setting a directive in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg:

PACCT_CHECK_ERROR (on|off)

If the directive is not present, the default behavior is as before, "on".

sar has been extended to handle version 9 of the sysstat package.
Patch 743 — Avoid use of ypcat (configurable)
Update on the module that converts UID to user name. Us of "ypcat" can be turned on or off by
setting in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg:

UID_YPCAT   (true|false)

The default is to use "ypcat".
