# SketchUp

# Introduction

Open iT supports SketchUp 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.

# Requirements

# Setting up SketchUp Data Collection

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

  1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

  2. 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
  3. Run the command:

    Command Syntax
    openit_sketchupstat --init --username <amp_username> --password <amp_password> 

    where:

    Parameter Description
    --init Use this to set up the AMP configuration.
    --username <amp_username> Use this to specify the username for accessing the AMP.
    --password <amp_password> Use this to specify the password for accessing the AMP.
    Parameters for Setting Up SketchUp Data Collection

    Example
    openit_sketchupstat --init --username jsmith@email.com --password sketchupAdm!n123

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

Parameter Description
--token-url <token_url> Use this to specify the token URL.
--identity-api-url <identity_api_url> Use this to specify the identity API URL.
--auth-state-url <auth_state_url> Use this to specify the authorization state URL.
--details-api <details_api> Use this to specify the details' API URL.
--products-api <products_api> Use this to specify the products' API URL.

--licenses-api <licenses_api> Use this to specify the licenses' API URL.
--activations-api <activations_api> Use this to specify the activations' API URL.
--member-ids-api <members_ids_api> Use this to specify the member IDs' API URL.
--users-info-api <users_info_api> Use this to specify the users' info API URL.
--invitations-api <invitations_api> Use this to specify the invitations' API URL.
--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.

  1. 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.

  2. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

  3. 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
  4. Once in the directory, activate the collection of SketchUp data, run the command:

    Command Syntax
    openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-sketchup-sample.active=true"
  5. Run the following command to update the configuration files:

    Command Syntax
    openit_confbuilder --client

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

Object Name Accepted Value Description
active Boolean (true or false) Setting this to true activates SketchUp 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%;sketchup) This object is defined if a vendor license name other than the default %host%;sketchup will be used.
status-command FileName (e.g., ${OpeniT.directories.bin}/openit_sketchupstat.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.
SketchUp Data Collection Configuration

# Verifying Data Collection

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

  1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

  2. 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
  3. Run the command:

    Command Syntax
    openit_licpoll -# 1
  4. 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.
