dslictool usage

[phanee_k]

Hi ,
I understand that using dslictool , we can find the number of licenses being used by datastage. But I believe it is not working as supposed to.

When I logged into the corresponding project through dssh ( UV environment ) , I found that 1 license is being utilized otherwise I am getting the below message.


$ dslictool
Warning License is in effect.
Message[PIN0037]
8 CPU's licensed.
DSPX package licensed.
DSSRV package licensed.
No. Pid, Package Device name IP address Device sub-key
0 license seats are in use.
8 license seats are available.


How can we see the number of licenses being utilized.

How did you find this out in dssh?

The correct display of the number of licenses that DataStage thinks are in use are displayed via the dslictool; any other result you see (perhaps using PORT.STATUS) might show the number of DataStage processes in use but will not reflect the number of licenses.

Search is your friend!

Many more examples exist... and no, it doesn't work.

So, Arnd... are you of the opinion that the silly thing actually does work?

I know it should, but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case in my 7.0.1 version.

I thought that it was used to cap the number of sessions; isn't that the program used to validate creating another connection? That's why I said that is show the number of licenses that DS thinks is in use. I'll need to check up on that.

Hi ,
Once you log onto UV account using ./bin/dssh you need to logto the project by issuing LOGTO <projectname>

Now login into the ETL box through Telnet and issue the command dslictool.

You will be able to see that a PID is listed and the license is being utilized.

But when you login through designer / director / manager , dslictool is not showing the licenses utilized.

thanks,

This is all I ever get from it:

Code: Select all

$ pwd
/opt/datastage/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine
$ ./bin/dslictool
Standard License is in effect.
Message[PIN0037]
8 CPU's licensed.
DSSRV package licensed.
No. Pid, Package  Device name             IP address      Device sub-key
0 license seats are in use.
8 license seats are available.

It always says 0 license seats are in use and 8 available, regardless of the number actually in use or the fact that we are licensed for 22. So, what am I missing?

Throws arms up in surrender

looks like a bug...

Seriously, looks like a BUG..

In my case, I have DS license for 4 CPUs, 5 users.
But dslictool shows something totally wierd:

Code: Select all

nnj@lpar5m:/dstage/dsadm/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine:$ ./bin/dslictool
Warning License is in effect.
Message[PIN0037]
80 CPU's licensed.

0 license seats are in use.
8 license seats are available.

It's showing me the license for 80 CPUs
