This patch fixes: - the issue on flexconfigcollector to support the vendor path in a license file. After this update, flexconfigcollector only gets the base name of a vendor path (which is the vendor daemon itself) instead of getting the full path. - the issue on flexconfigcollector where it doesn't support the quote marks of debug log path specified in the options file causing it to state that it couldn't find the debug log. - the bad file number issue encountered by flexconfigcollector on AIX. It should now continue to create autoconfig file even if it has encountered this error. - the case sensitivity of flexconfigcollector when finding the OPTIONS key in the license file. After this update, the search for the options key will now be case-insensitive. - the issue of duplicated autoconfig file that has the same contents but with different filename casing. After this update, the autoconfig filename will now be in lowercase. - the licenseconfigpatcher crashing issue due to unsupported spaces at the start and end of COMPONENTS value of a license file. licenseconfigpatcher and flexconfigcollector are updated.
General Description: Fix for autocollector to properly detect and collect ansyslmd daemon. Detailed Description: FlexConfigCollector cannot collect license manager information because it cannot detect ANSYS lmgrd process in Windows. The installation of this patch updates the FlexConfigCollector to 64 bit version if the client machine is running in 64 bit so that it can detect processes including ANSYS lmgrd process. ---------------------------- General Description: Fix for autocollector that leaves lmutil hanging. Detailed Description: FlexConfigCollector leaves hanging lmutil per instance. This is due to the early collector-timeout configured to LicenseConfigPatcher and client job which causes FlexConfigCollector to leave its child process running even when it is not yet done doing its job. This patch fixes the issue and cleans up all the hanging child processes. This fix is applicable to FlexConfigCollector. ---------------------------- General Description: Fix for autocollector for INTERNAL ERROR. Detailed Description: FlexConfigCollector returns several INTERNAL ERROR for components of unknown package due to wrong parsing. The installation of this patch updates the FlexConfigCollector to fix INTERNAL ERROR during the processing of the components. ---------------------------- General Description: Fix for autocollector for not using -l for Debug Logs location Detailed Description: FlexConfigCollector wasn't able to detect the correct debug log location due to failure to get it from the command line because of the special characters. The installation of this patch updates the FlexConfigCollector to fix the issue. ---------------------------- General Description: Fix for autocollector for messing up the debug log file paths. Detailed Description: FlexConfigCollector returns debug log file paths with semicolon at the end. Sometimes the debug log file paths are listed twice. This is due to improper processing of the output. This patch updates FlexConfigCollector and fixes the issue. ---------------------------- General Description: The patch corrects the licensetype from simpleflex to flex Detailed Description: When multiple license files are used, autocollector wrongly mentions the product as simpleflex, which is corrected with this patch. ---------------------------- General Description: Fixed a missing entry in the configuration Detailed Description: When multiple license files are used, a configuration entry “license-file-dir” will be added. ---------------------------- Revision 2: Added support for solaris ---------------------------- NOTE: HPUX is not supported in this patch.
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.
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.
