Abstract

How to configure IBM Rational License Key Server (RLKS) Administration and Reporting Tool and IBM RLKS Administration Agent to start automatically on Linux and UNIX.

Download Description

IBM RLKS Administration and Reporting Tool and IBM RLKS Administration Agent should automatically startup when your system starts on Linux and UNIX platforms. This is accomplished by running the applications as daemons. The uploaded files contain the scripts for this procedure.

Installation Instructions

Enable IBM RLKS Administration and Reporting Tool to start automatically at system boot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. Download the IBM_RLKS_AdminTool_Service_UNIX.tar.gz.
  2. Extract the rcladmin folder to the IBM RLKS Administration and Reporting Tool installation location (install_location).
    (The default location is: /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdmin)
  3. Go to the installation location (install_location)
    cd /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdmin
    Note: Make sure the install_admin_service.sh file has execute permission.
    (By default it has the execute permission, but if the files are copied from a windows machine, it gets modified).
  4. Run the following command:
    chmod +x install_admin_service.sh
  5. To install the service as "rcladmin", run the following command:
    ./install_admin_service.sh install

Disable IBM RLKS Administration and Reporting Tool from automatic startup at system boot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Go to the installation_location.
  2. Run the command:
    ./install_admin_service.sh remove

Enable IBM RLKS Administration Agent to start automatically at system boot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Download the IBM_RLKS_AdminTool_Agent_Service_UNIX.tar.gz.
  2. Extract the rclagent folder to the IBM RLKS Administration Agent installation location.
    (The default location is: /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdminAgent )
  3. Go to the installation location (install_location)
    cd /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdminAgent
    Note: Make sure the install_agent_service.sh file has execute permission.
    (By default it has the execute permission, but if the files are copied from a windows machine, it gets modified).
  4. Run the following command:
    chmod +x install_agent_service.sh
  5. Run the following command to install the service:
    ./install_agent_service.sh install [agent_service_name]
    The agent_service_name is optional. If it is not specified, the service gets installed as "rclagent". Otherwise, the service gets installed with the name passed to the script.

    If more than one agent is installed on the same machine, pass different agent_service_name for each agent installations.
    Example,
    for the first agent, run
    ./install_agent_service.sh install rclagent_rlks
    for the second one, run
    ./install_agent_service.sh install rclagent_clm
Disable IBM RLKS Administration Agent from automatic startup at system boot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Go to the installation_location.
  2. Run the following command:
    ./install_agent_service.sh remove [agent_service_name]
    If the agent_service_name is not passed, the script will try to remove the service 'rclagent'.
