Description

General Description: flexconfigcollector doesn't recognize server and daemon lines due to case
sensitivity

Detailed Description: Flexconfigcollector binary is case sensitive when it is reading Server and
Daemon entries. It only accepts all uppercase letters. Therefore, it failed to collect license
configurations. This patch will modify this behavior and make Flexconfigcollector not case sensitive
when reading Server and Daemon entries.

Patch 961 — flexconfigcollector looking at lmgrd -c option
flexconfigcollector did not detect the license file if the vendor daemon
-c option was truncated, but the -c option of lmgrd was not, as seen
by the ps command. Now flexconfigcollector has been updated to search for the lmgrd -c
option as well as the vendor daemon option.
Patch 854 — Picking lmutil binary from license file set
flexconfigcollector will now look into the directories where the files connected to the license
manager software is located. If lmutil is found within on of these directories, it will be used
instead of /opt/openit/bin/lmutil.

The search priority is:

1. The directory of license.dat or otherwise named license file.
2. The directory of lmgrd.
3. /opt/openit/bin.

A fix is included for detecting daemons, which was not covered by the similar patch 828.
Patch 921 — flexconfigcollector matching command names
flexconfigcollector failed to find vendor daemons in some cases when there
is discrepancy in the command names given by ps output.
Patch 828 — flexconfigcollector fix for Solaris
Sometimes the "ps" output from "/bin/ps" and "/usr/ucb/ps" differs in a way that caused
flexconfigcollector to miss information for detecting the license file and the debug log file.

This is a fix for this problem.
