blcollect

license information collection daemon that collects license usage information

Synopsis

blcollect -ccollector_name -mhost_name [...] -plicense_scheduler_port [-ilmstat_interval -Dlmstat_path]

blcollect [-h -V]

Description

 

Periodically collects license usage information from Macrovision FLEXnet. It

 

queries FLEXnet for license usage information from the FLEXnet lmstat

 

command, and passes the information to the License Scheduler daemon (bld). The

 

blcollect daemon improves performance by allowing you to distribute license

 

information queries on multiple hosts.

 

By default, license information is collected from FLEXnet on one host. Use

 

blcollect to distribute the license collection on multiple hosts.

 

For each service domain configuration in lsf.licensescheduler, specify one

 

name for blcollect to use. You can only specify one collector per service domain,

 

but you can specify one collector to serve multiple service domains. You can choose

 

any collector name you want, but must use that exact name when you run

 

blcollect.

Options

 

-c

Required. Specify the collector name you set in lsf.licensescheduler. You must

 

use the collector name (LIC_COLLECT) you define in the ServiceDomain section of

 

the configuration file.

-m

Required. Specifies a space-separated list of hosts to which license information is

 

sent. The hosts do not need to be running License Scheduler or a FLEXnet. Use fully

 

qualified host names.

-p

Required. You must specify the License Scheduler listening port, which is set in

 

lsf.licensescheduler and has a default value of 9581.

-ilmstat_interval

Optional. The frequency in seconds of the calls that License Scheduler makes to

 

lmstat to collect license usage information from FLEXnet.

 

The default interval is 60 seconds.

-Dlmstat_path

Optional. Location of the FLEXnet command lmstat.

-h

Prints command usage to stderr and exits.

-V

Prints release version to stderr and exits.
