DESCRIPTION
The
i4lmd
command starts a license server on the local
node. There is no graphic interface for this command, the shell
script
i4config
is used to configure the license server.
License servers should not be run manually.
A printable on-line administration guide is also available. (See the
FILES
section below.)
NOTE: Please refer to the release notes and
i4config
for information on how to automate the
start-up of
i4lmd
on your specific platform.
Options
- -s
Secure mode. A LicensePower/iFOR license server running in secure mode will only
permit modifications to its database from tools run locally (on the same node).
Tools running on remote node are not permitted to modify the database.
- -l log_name
Redirects license server log entries to a file and location
other than the default
(/opt/ifor/ls/conf/logdb*).
The alternate log file specification
(filename)
must be fully qualified starting from the root directory (/).
- -v verbose
The verbose flag should only be used by administrators
the event of a server failure. This command allows the
administrator to review license calls and activity from the
client programs. The
-v
option is used in conjunction with
-z.
- -z debugging
The debugging flag allows the administrator to review all
rpc communication between the clients and the server. The
-z
option is used in conjunction with
-v.
- -no
Turns off logging of the events specified in
event_list.
Any combination
of events is valid, but items in the list of events must not
be separated by spaces or other characters. Following are the event
types that you may specify:
- l
License-grant and license-release events.
- c
License checkin events. (Licensed products usually check in with the
license server at regular intervals while a user is using the
product).
- w
Waiting events: these include wait events (a user was waiting for a
license), waitgrant events (a user was waiting for and then
was granted a license), and waitremove events (a user was waiting
for a license and then asked to be removed from the queues before a
license was granted).
- v
Vendor events: a vendor was added, renamed or deleted.
- p
Product events: a product was added, renamed, or deleted.
- e
Error events.
- t
License timeout events.
(When a licensed product fails to check in with the license server,
it may stop running after it "times out."
The vendor of the product sets the timeout interval, which is how
long a product may run after it has lost contact with the license server).
- m
Message events.
- s
License server start/stop events.
- -c
This option will delete all transactions records from the database
and subsequently that cache during server startup.
