# RISA

# Introduction

Open iT supports RISA usage reporting through the generic license type format. This will produce the following aggregated data types used for historical reporting:

The following sections will guide you in setting up the necessary configuration to collect and send the required data to the server.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT client.

# Requirements

An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
Activated LicenseAnalyzer collection and license poller
Non-SSO RISA account with Administrator access to the RISA Portal

# Setting up RISA Data Collection

These are the required steps to set up data collection from the RISA portal.

Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
 cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
```

Run the command:

Command Syntax
openit_risastat --init --username <username> --password <password> 

where:

Parameter	Description
`--init`	Use this to set up the RISA portal configuration.
`--username <risa_username>`	Use this to specify the username for accessing the RISA portal.
`--password <risa_password>`	Use this to specify the password for accessing the RISA portal.

Parameters for Setting Up RISA Data Collection

Example
openit_risastat --init --username jsmith@email.com --password risaAdm!n123

This example shows how to specify the necessary authentication credentials for accessing the RISA portal using the administrator account jsmith@email.com and the password risaAdm!n123.

Open iT saves the hashed RISA credential file, risastat.ini, in the OpeniT directory, which is by default in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT.

Parameter	Description
`--login-url <login_url>`	Use this to specify RISA's login URL.
`--licenses-url <licenses_url>`	Use this to specify the web address for retrieving licenses data.
`--usage-url <usage_url>`	Use this to specify the web address for retrieving usages data.
`--requests-timeout <request_timeout>`	Use this to specify request timeout in seconds.
`--debug`	Use this to turn on debug logging.
`-h, --help`	Use this to display help text.

# Activating Data Collection

These are the required steps to activate collection of usage data.

Go to the Components directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\Components, and back up the licpoll.xml configuration file.
Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
 cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
```
Once in the directory, copy the object node genericlicense-sample and rename it to your desired name. In this example, we will use risa. Run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-sample=>licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-risa"
```
Element names cannot contain parentheses ( or ) because they are not valid for XML element names.
Activate the collection of RISA data, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.risa.active=true"
```

Set the path to the binary used by the RISA License Server, run the command:

Command Syntax
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.risa.status-command=${OpeniT.directories.bin}/openit_risastat.exe"

Run the following command to update the configuration files:
Command Syntax
```
openit_confbuilder --client
```
Make sure that there are no errors encountered.

Refer to the RISA Data Collection Configuration table to learn more about RISA configuration in licpoll.xml.

Object Name	Accepted Value	Description
active	Boolean (`true` or `false`)	Setting this to `true` activates RISA usage data collection.
type	String (i.e., `GenericLicense`)	The license manager type.
interval	Timespan (e.g., `P30S`, `P5M`, `P1H`)	The span of time between each polling round (it is recommended to set a value no less than P1M).
offset	Timespan (e.g., `P30S`, `P5M`, `P1H`)	The span of time the aligned poll time decided by interval is shifted.
product-name	String (e.g., `%host%;risaonline`)	This object is defined if a vendor license name other than the default `%host%;risaonline` will be used.
status-command	FileName (e.g., `${OpeniT.directories.bin}/openit_risastat.exe`)	The binary used to obtain status from the license manager.
status-command.arguments	String (e.g., `--debug`)	The arguments used for the status command. Leave this blank.

RISA Data Collection Configuration

# Verifying Data Collection

After configuration, you can verify that the data is collected by following these steps:

Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
 cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
```
Run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_licpoll -# 1
```
Verify that the temp directory, which is by default in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\temp, contains a LicPoll directory containing .data and status-*.log files.
