This articles explains how to ensure a Server Express deployment and development environment is licensed properly and ready for use on HP/UX systems.

Problem:

In Server Express deployment and development licensing is enforced. How can you ensure that the deployment / runtime environment is licensed properly and ready for use? How can you ensure that the development environment is licensed properly and ready for use?

Resolution:

To ensure the Server Express deployment and development environment is licensed properly and ready for use, you can run the command Apptrack to check deployment license usage. The attached MFLicenseCheck tool will find and report the number and types of installed deployment licenses. It will also analyze deployment license usage for only Server for COBOL/Application Server. It will also report deployment license usage, generated when development licenses are installed.

The attached file is for the HP/UX operating system only. To use this tool:


  1. Ensure COBDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, SHLIB_PATH are set properly to the COBOL product on this machine.
  2. Unzip MFLicenseCheck.zip into temp directory.
  3. There will be 2 files, MFLicenseCheck.sl and MFLicenseCheck.sh.
  4. Run MFLicenseCheck.sh.

The following reports will be generated:

Dep-DatabaseReport.txt --------Deployment Database Report

Dep-LicenseReport.txt ----------Deployment License Summary Report

Dev-DatabaseReport.txt -----------Development Database Report

Dev-LicenseReport.txt -------------Development License Summary Report

MFLicenseCheck can be found in Server Express 5.1 WrapPack 4 and 6.0 WrapPack 1. The version in these products is now an EXE so there is no trigger script or .so/.sl file as referenced above. To this end you will be able to run the tool from the command line which the product is setup on the PATH.
