MN1003E Failed to get license for MTO: Error[18]: No license code is available for feature MTODevelopment on host 127.0 : How can this message be removed from the MFDS log?

Resolution

The message is basically a warning to advise that there is no MTO license installed

The message will continue to be reported/displayed until one of the following happens...

1. An MTO license is installed. If CICS is not used in ES this seems unnecessary.

2. Set the MF_MFDS_DISABLE_LICENSING environment variable and this will stop the license check.

The license check in MFDS is not used to enforce feature functionality, but simply to not display
CICS configuration screens and security features that do not work for non-SOA features.

3. To do this, set the variable in the MFDS script in the <product install>/bin directory.

Change the script to include a new statement after the statement export SHLIB_PATH

The amended part of the MFDS script would look like this.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH-/usr/lib}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LIBPATH=$COBDIR/lib:${LIBPATH-/usr/lib}
export LIBPATH
SHLIB_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:${SHLIB_PATH-/usr/lib}
export SHLIB_PATH
export MF_MFDS_DISABLE_LICENSING=Y

4. Stop and restart MFDS to activate this functionality.
