# Reprise License Manager (RLM)

# Introduction

Open iT supports Reprise License Manager (RLM) usage reporting through the autoconfigurator by detecting configurations used to set the license manager data collection automatically. On the other hand, if you need to configure its behavior manually, the following sections will guide you on the required configuration for license manager utility polling and log file parsing.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT client.

# Configuring License Manager Utility Polling

Open iT supports RLM usage reporting by polling the license servers at regular intervals to get the current status of its license use and availability.

An Open iT client is installed on your license server for this collection. The data collector/preprocessor gathers the current license usage information from the license manager every hour using a 5-minute sample interval, triggering the data collection process. It also processes the gathered license usage. Once the data is preprocessed, it is transmitted to the Core Server, according to the client's timezone, for further storage, completing the license usage data collection and processing.

License Manager Utility Polling Workflow

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.

# Requirements

An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
Activated LicenseAnalyzer collection and license poller
License server administrative rights
Running license manager utility binary and its location

# Getting the License Status Utility Binary Location

This configuration requires the path to the license status utility binary, rlmstat, to obtain the license status information. Get this by following these steps:

Through the Interface

Open the Task Manager.
Go to the Details tab.
Locate rlmstat.
Right-click and choose Open file location.
The path of the binary will be displayed.

Through the Command Line

Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Run the following command to locate the binary:
Command Syntax
```
 where /r <installation_drive> rlmstat
```
where <installation_drive> is the drive where the license manager is installed.
Example
```
 where /r C:\ rlmstat
```
The path of the binary will be displayed.

After verifying the path of the polling program, make sure that it is running.
Open a command prompt in the directory of the license server executable or the polling program and run the following command:

Command Syntax
rlmstat -a

Example
rlmstat -a

Make sure no errors are encountered.

Run the following command to locate the binary:

Command Syntax
find . | grep rlmstat

The path of the binary will be displayed.

# Configuring Data Collection

These are the required steps to activate and configure collection of RLM 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, activate the collection of RLM data, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.rlm-sample.active=true"
```

Set the RLM license file location, run the command:

Command Syntax
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.rlm-sample.license-file=<rlm-license-file>"

where <rlm-license-file> is the filename, including the path, of the RLM license file.

Example
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.rlm-sample.license-file=C:\Program Files\rlm\license.lic"

Set the path to the binary used by the RLM License Server, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.rlm-sample.status-command=<binary_path>"
```
where <binary_path> is the obtained path in Getting the License Status Utility Binary Path.
Example
```
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.rlm-sample.status-command=C:\rlm\bin\rlmstat"
```
Update the configuration file, run the command:
Command Syntax
```

Continue reading if you need to configure log file parsing. If not, here are some suggested readings.

# Configuring Log File Parsing

Open iT supports RLM usage reporting by collecting log files and converting them to Open iT format.

An Open iT client is installed on your license server for this collection. The data collector monitors and gathers the license usage history logs from the license manager every 5 minutes. Once the logs are collected, the data collection process triggers and the logs are passed to the data preprocessor. After the data is preprocessed, it is transferred to the Core Server for further storage, completing the history logs collection and processing.

Log File Parsing Workflow

This will produce the following aggregated data types used for historical reporting:

Record Log Data:

(89) Total License Use Licenseevents
(90) Individual License Use Licenseevents
(91) Usergroup License Use Licenseevents
(108) Host License Use Licenseevents
(109) Hostgroup License Use Licenseevents

Event Log Data:

(104) License Logfile Events v2.0
(107) Denied License Use Licenseevents

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

# Requirements

An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
License server administrative rights
Activated Report Log Functionality and the REPORTLOG location (For instructions, please see the REPORTLOG option under The ISV Options File chapter in the RLM manual.)

# Troubleshooting

# API Controller Cannot Upload Parsed Log Data

# Problem

This issue may be encountered when the total size of parsed RLM data per sending is greater than 2 GB. The large parsed RLM data cannot to be sent to the server, showing the error, ApiController: : postUploadData Failed to upload x files in the debug logs.

# Resolution

Compress object nodes for the upload_rlm_logs tasks is added so you can enable compression of the target data before sending them to the server.

Make sure that the receiving Open iT server is version 9.16.190 or later to properly receive the uploaded data and avoid data processing error and data loss.

These are the required steps to activate compression of parsed RLM data before uploading them to the server.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT client.

Go to the Components directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\Components, and open apicontroller.xml.

Locate the object node compress under the object node upload_rlm_logs and set its value to true.

apicontroller.xml
<Object>
	<Name>compress</Name>
	<Description>Compress upload files before upload</Description>
	<Value type="Bool">true</Value>
</Object>

Save the changes.
Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

Command Syntax
```
 cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
 cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
```
Update the configuration file, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confbuilder --client

# Max in Use is Greater than Max Available Licenses

# Problem

The issue is with how the licensing system combines two different models for managing licenses:

Model 0 tracks the total number of licenses available.
Model 1 reserves a specific number of licenses.

The problem is that reports mix these two models. They show the maximum count from one model but add up license usage from both, creating confusing and inaccurate results, making it hard to understand what's actually happening with the licenses.

# Resolution

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

# Activating Duplicating "out" Model Records

Go to the filtrator directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\Components\filtrator, and open olap-license-total-usage.xml.

Locate the object node active, under the object node Duplicate:LicensingModelFeatureName and set its value to true.

olap-license-total-usage.xml
