Activating and deactivating IBM InfoSphere DataStage editions and feature packs

Run the LicensingServiceAdmin command-line tool to change the InfoSphere® DataStage® features that were activated when the services tier was installed. The tool can activate or deactivate InfoSphere DataStage editions and feature packs within your suite if InfoSphere DataStage is installed.

1. Log in to the computer on which the LicensingServiceAdmin tool is installed:
   • If you have implemented IBM WebSphere® Application Server clustering within your installation, log in to the computer that hosts the WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager.
   • If you have not implemented clustering, log in to the services tier computer.

   In either case, use an account that has execution permission for the tools in the ASBServer/bin directory, as described in the next step.

2. Change to the ASBServer/bin directory within the directory in which InfoSphere Information Server is installed. For example:
   • cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin
   • cd C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBServer\bin
3. Run the LicensingServiceAdmin command with the -set_features option.

   Instead of the -user and -password options, you can provide a credentials file with the -authfile option. If you do not provide a user, password, or credentials file, you are prompted for a user ID and password.

   

   ./LicensingServiceAdmin.sh -user isadmin -password ispswd -set_features codes

   

   LicensingServiceAdmin -user isadmin -password ispwd -set_features codes

   In the command,

   • isadmin is the name of a user that has suite administrator authority.
   • ispwd is the user password.
   • codes is a comma-separated list of codes that specify the editions and feature packs to activate. The following table describes valid feature codes:

     Table 1. Feature codes for LicensingServiceAdmin

     Feature code	Description
     DS	Activates IBM InfoSphere DataStage
     DSServer	Activates IBM InfoSphere DataStage Server
     DSMVS	Activates IBM InfoSphere DataStage MVS Edition
     SAS	Activates IBM InfoSphere DataStage Pack for SAS
     BalOpt	Activates IBM InfoSphere DataStage Balanced Optimization

     Each time you run the command, specify the feature codes for all editions and feature packs to activate. Include any editions and feature packs that are already activated, that you want to remain activated. Any editions and feature packs that you do not list in the command are deactivated.

     If you are entitled to both IBM InfoSphere DataStage Server and IBM InfoSphere DataStage from DataStage Server Trade Up, specify the DS feature code only. Do not specify the DSServer feature code.

     Feature codes are not case sensitive. To include white space within the feature code list, enclose the list in quotation marks.

   For example, to activate InfoSphere DataStage, InfoSphere DataStage Balanced Optimization, and the InfoSphere DataStage Pack for SAS, run the following command.

   LicensingServiceAdmin -user isadmin -password ispwd -set_features DS,SAS,BalOpt

   The command activates the features. In this example, the Mainframe canvas is not enabled within the InfoSphere DataStage client applications. The command then lists the results:

   DS,SAS,BalOpt,QS
   Enabled components:
      IBM InfoSphere DataStage
      IBM InfoSphere DataStage Pack for SAS
      IBM InfoSphere DataStage Balanced Optimization
      IBM InfoSphere QualityStage
      DataStage and QualityStage Administrator
      DataStage and QualityStage Director
      DataStage and QualityStage Designer
   Enabled features:
      job-type = DataStage
      job-type = QualityStage
      licensed-feature = BAL_OPT
      licensed-feature = SAS_PACK
      canvas = Parallel
      canvas = Server 

   Since IBM InfoSphere QualityStage® shares the InfoSphere DataStage components and client applications, it is also listed as one of the activated features if InfoSphere QualityStage is installed. Even though it is listed as one of the features, InfoSphere QualityStage cannot be activated or deactivated with the LicensingServiceAdmin tool. To activate InfoSphere QualityStage, install InfoSphere QualityStage by using the installation program. To deactivate InfoSphere QualityStage, uninstall InfoSphere QualityStage by using the software removal program.

   The list of enabled InfoSphere DataStage and InfoSphere QualityStage client applications is also shown. All three applications are enabled when InfoSphere QualityStage or any version of InfoSphere DataStage is installed. If IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer is installed without InfoSphere DataStage or InfoSphere QualityStage, then only the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage client is enabled.
