Fixed bug causing never-ending loop when a license for one feature was reported checked out under the name of another feature.
A cleanup function in licpoll could remove any *.tmp files under /var/opt/openit/temp/, causing problems on servers. This cleanup function has now been fixed. The occurrence of parenthesis in the tty/display element reported by lmstat (FLEXlm) caused a parsing error, resulting in loss of data. This has now been corrected.
Added support in LicPoll for including offline usage from IBM LUM.
If "Group" was missing from the output from i4blt, the LUM poller, parts of the poll data would be missed by licpoll.
Fixed a critical bug in parsing of packages in FLEXlm license file.
In PACKAGE lines, a field that was previously present in the license file seems to have been removed. This could cause LicPoll to sometimes discard components information.
If the poll interval for LicPoll was set to a value greater than 5 minutes, LicPoll would terminate after just one poll (and not run the entire hour).
Sometimes when lmstat command is run with port/server in the -c options instead of a license file it will return the result of multiple license daemons running on the same server. This "feature" caused licpoll to hang when monitoring license files configured to use SimpleFlex. When SimpleFlex now encounters a config dump it will assume all features seen are part of the product (even if this inlcudes the features from other products).
A warning was written by licpoll everytime it encountered a difference (case) when parsing feature names in lmstat output, i.e with seeing something like this: Feature usage info: Users of feature1: (Total of 20 licenses available) "Feature1" v1.0, vendor: psmld floating license lsf-arc solveig 193.217.12.14 (v1.0) (solveig/1700 1593), start Fri 2/18 15:21 ("feature1" vs "Feature1"). It still parsed the lmstat output correctly but if this occured often a lot of warnings would be written in the log file. This updates removes this warning message.
LicPoll would fail to parse the IBM LUM license information correct when there were offline usage.
This client updates parsing of LUM node names. Previously the client was not able to separate serial number when seeing node names like CAD-NODE-1.us(#194.19.77.134) Serial Number_ 72211XB1934 This updates makes sure the serial number is not part of the hostname. A patch for filtrator (#372) has also been made to retroactivly remove the serial number in existing data (by regeneration).
For some versions of lmutil running with the lmstat option on a license file fails if the program is not run in the same directory has the location of the license file. This updates adds a temporary change of directory to the location of the license file when running lmstat data collection.
This patch installs a new licpoll binary that adds handling of missing " in license.dat files. Such missing "'s would previously cause licpoll to ignore the rest of the file).
Unpack tar file in e.g /tmp/patch on the Open iT client. Do the following as root: cd /tmp/patch ./patch.pl
