Licpoll license.exclude

General Description: This patch updates the licpoll binary to fix the issue wherein a product is not
being excluded (license.exclude configuration) when the name contains a comma (for cluster setup
i.e. server1,server2,server3;armlmd). Escape sequence was introduced to make it possible to exclude
such product name.

That configuration will enable licpoll to treat comma as a normal character.

Detailed Desription: There are special characters that are used in configuring license.exclude file.
Globbing characters such as * and ?, comma and space. The problem occurs when the product name
contains any of these and you don't want to include that product in reporting. This patch introduces
escape sequence in license.exclude file to escape especial characters. ff. is an example
license.exclude configuration:

*:* include
server1\,server2\,server3;armlmd

Incorrect total license available in multiple license information

General Description: This patch updates the licpoll binary to fix the issue where in the available
licenses for multiple license information with single feature is incorrect.

Detailed Description: The problem occurs when there are multiple license information (e.g.
permanent, timed) with single feature indicated in lsmon.txt. The total available license that is
being captured by licpoll is the license count from one license information, not the general
information.
Example:

FEATURE 1:        14 total licenses
     *permanent - 9 licenses
     *timed     - 5 licenses

General Description: Licpoll updates for daemon status, support for DSLS feature version and
collecting informations with double quotations marks.

Detailed Description:
This patch will enable licpoll to report daemon status as down when it detects "<vendor daemon>: The
desired vendor daemon is down. (-97,121)" in status output. Also, licpoll will be able to support
DSLS feature version which is under "LicenseId" column of status output and it will now handle the
informations with double quotations marks to be able to collect all license usage using simple-flex
and flex.

General Description: This patch updates the licpoll binary to fix the issue of the missing first
poll and enables support on Shared Licenses in LM-X and RLM in licpoll.
 
 Detailed Description: 
Five minutes worth of data (0.08) are missing in an hourly report usage of licpoll. It shows 0.92
instead of 1 hour. This is because the licpoll polls 5 minutes late. This patch updates the licpoll
binary to start polling as it should to have a complete elapsed time in the report.
 
openit_licpoll.exe was modified for RLM to support shared licenses and for licpoll to collect
license status properly from RLM when license file is configured in licpoll.xml. License file is
only needed for features that has shared attributes. It is not required if the feature is not shared
license.
 
 To activate shared license in RLM configuration, add these two objects in licpoll.xml under RLM.
 <Object>
     <Name>license-file</Name>
     <Description>RLM license file.</Description>
     <Value type="FileName">[rlm-license-file]</Value>
 </Object>
 <Object>
     <Name>license-dir</Name>
<Description>RLM license file directory. (If this object has value, "license-file" is
ignored.)</Description>
     <Value type="DirName">[rlm-license-dir]</Value>
 </Object>
 
 BUG FIXES:
 General Description: Warning Issue in Licpoll
 
 Detailed Description:
 This patch fixes the warning issue in handle and feature values in Flex by updating the
 openit_licpoll.exe binary.
 

* Other versions of feature shows no usage.

This issue occurs when 'asset_info' is present in a floating license. This patch fixes the issue on
some features that doesn't show usage because licpoll fails to parse the license status output
properly.
