License usage ServiceCenter

[A.R. van Kempen]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to report the daily license usage for ServiceCenter. In the past I used a solution on windows servers. I scheduled a scenter -reportlic that exported the result to a txt file every 15 minutes. I had a VB script that read the txt file and dumped the data into a SQL database. My current situation is SC6 on AIX using Oracle10. VB is not allowed.

I am also curious if it is possible to add the idle-time per user to the report.

Any ideas ?

regards, Fred

The equivalent of the task scheduler in Windows is cron in unix, it can run any shell script. Talk to your unix admins about setting that up. Very easy to run scenter -reportlic whenever.

Not sure offhand about a list with idle times. Run scenter -helpall and check the various report options, one might have what you need.

Here is a script I worked on a while ago, basically proof of concept. It is all perl (my first perl project) and dumps the output of the scenter -report*(s) to an html file to monitor. I think this will get you started on how to parse the outputs of these reports. There is a section in there to look at the total license count.
I can help you out if needed.
