Description

This patch update the back-end processing to correctly read
the "case-sensitivity" object entries. A bug in the code
caused the data reader to use the wrong config value for
flab/flexpoler data (it used the value of the 
"username-forcelower" instead of the "hostname-forcelower"
value).

Patch 376 — Fix of several filtrator bugs
This patch fixes the followings bugs found in the
license processing binary (filtrator):

USER_REMOVED lines
------------------

Filtrator now correctly handles USER_REMOVED lines
from FLEXlm debug log files.

License mapping files
---------------------

A bug in the parsing of the mapping file could cause
filtrator to crash when parsing 

  license-user-mapping

or

  license-host-mapping

LUM host names
--------------

A bug in license data collection (fixed by #371) caused LUM
node names to include the serial numbers, giving hostnames
like this:

  CAD-NODE-1.us(#194.19.77.134) Serial Number_ 72211XB1934

This patch updates the back-end processing so it filters
out that serial number for the hostnames in collected data.

After installing the patch regenerate data with

  /opt/openit/bin/regenerate_data

to get correct hostnames in the database.
Patch 355 — Fix serious FLEXlm debug log processing problems
A serious problem has been detected when processing
several debug log files simultaniously when some of the
logs has long gaps (periods where license servers has
been down).

In addition the processing is now able to handle FLEXlm
debug log data collected from host in different time
zones.
Patch 373 — Remove serial number in LUM hostnames
A bug in license data collection (fixed by #371) caused LUM
node names to include the serial numbers, giving hostnames
like this:

  CAD-NODE-1.us(#194.19.77.134) Serial Number_ 72211XB1934

This patch updates the back-end processing so it filters
out that serial number for the hostnames in collected data.

After installing the patch regenerate data with

  /opt/openit/bin/regenerate_data

to get correct hostnames in the database.
Patch 365 — Make filtrator handle overlapping licpoll2 input

for longer than 1 hour (with overlapping collectors).
