Corrected package registration for features distributed under packages without OPTIONS=SUITE. Fixes a bug in flab. flab now correctly merges status lines from the FLEXlm debug log and flab/flexpoller files regardless of wether daemon/version/max available licenses information is available. flab will no longer produce duplicate entires for same license use when information level varies depending on source. After installation, if not done before, the old flab files in the archive must be removed (as openit user): cd $ARCHIVE_DIR/license find flexpoller -name "*FLAB*" | xargs rm $ARCHIVE_DIR can be found in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg The flab must be run for the affected period. Please proceed as follows (as openit user): /opt/openit/bin/flab -c /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf <start> <end> <start> and <end> has format YYYY-MM-DD NOTE: The following (server) platform does not yet support this functionality: space-sun-solaris2.5.1
Update for handling server functionality of new LicenseOptimizer data type (92), supporting actions: Terminate, Quit, Suspend, and Log. NOTE: The following (server) platform does not yet support this functionality: space-sun-solaris2.5.1 NOTE-2: The functionality must be turned on with the console.
New rewritten flab missed support for UPGRADE lines in the FLEXlm debug log. This patch includes update of binary that adds this. After installation, if not done before, the old FLAB files in the archive must be removed (as openit user): cd $ARCHIVE_DIR/license find flexpoller -name "*FLAB*" | xargs rm $ARCHIVE_DIR can be found in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg The flab must be run for the affected period. Please proceed as follows (as openit user): /opt/openit/bin/flab -c /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf <start> <end> <start> and <end> has format YYYY-MM-DD
Because flab does not sort all events internally, there can be some delayed data that should be appended to existing output files, but files were sometimes overwritten instead of beeing appended to. This has been fixed. Shutdown events from vendor daemons were ignored. This has also been fixed. After installation, if not done before, the old FLAB files in the archive must be removed (as openit user): cd $ARCHIVE_DIR/license find flexpoller -name "*FLAB*" | xargs rm $ARCHIVE_DIR can be found in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg The flab must be run for the affected period. Please proceed as follows (as openit user): /opt/openit/bin/flab -c /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf <start> <end> <start> and <end> has format YYYY-MM-DD
flab and filtrator has been rewritten to share the processing of FLEXlm debug log data (flexlog2) differently. This is done mainly for simplifying maintenance. After installation, the old FLAB files in the archive must be removed and the flab must be run for the affected period. Please proceed as follows (as openit user): cd $ARCHIVE_DIR/license find flexpoller -name "*FLAB*" | xargs rm /opt/openit/bin/flab -c /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf <start> <end> $ARCHIVE_DIR can be found in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg <start> and <end> has format YYYY-MM-DD
Filtrator now correctly processes FLEXlm debug log data when the case-sensitity options (username-forcelower and hostname-forcelower) are set to "true".
Filtrator can now ignore flexpoller events that might conflict with usage events from the FLEXlm debug log. When to ignore, is set with: ignore-flexpoller-usage(String)="<value>"{} The <value> can be: <value> = Never ignore period = Ignore when debug events occur within the poll period always = Always ignore
FLAB: A bug resulted in false detection of license server shutdown, causing some license usage to be dropped.
flab now accepts the option "-d <prod-list>", where <prod-list> is a comma separated list (without space) with names of products. Old flab data for these products will be deleted. filtrator will now reset all licenses in use to zero when a "SHUTDOWN request" is read from the flexlog file.
Fixed bug causing events at 0:00:00 to be counted twice. License clients, flexlogcollector.
Sometimes when filtrator processed OUT + IN usage across GMT midnight, data could be missing. This has now been fixed for these platforms: NOTE: The AIX4.2 binary will not be included.
When processing FLEXlm debug data, a weakness in the sorting algorithm caused certain events to occur out of order, resulting in incorrect usage reported. This has now been fixed. NOTE: The AIX4.2 binary does not support FLEXnet debug log data.
Will now include debug events occurring after license server startup but prior to first flexpoller/flab event. (These debug events would previously be ignored.)
Corrected mapping to local time in stead of GMT.
Fixed bug in FlexLog Archive Builder which sometimes caused usage to be lost when license daemon was shut down.
Fixes bug in prime time correction of licpoll data in filtrator.
